I’m not a proponent of super couple-y Valentine’s Day traditions. Max and I religiously avoided going out to restaurants on vday even in the pre-pandemic era, and we don’t exchange gifts on this holiday. That said, I’m all for an excuse to treat yourself (or bullying your partner into treating you haha), especially after the year we’ve all had. I’ve compiled a few of my favorite little luxuries below, and I hope you enjoy!

You’ve probably seen these body candles floating around your Instagram feed. I love this one, but there are several on Etsy at lower price points as well!

I don’t know if it’s because Atlanta is having a particularly cold, rainy winter, or if it’s just because we rarely leave the house due to Covid, but I’ve been enjoying a ton of baths lately. This bath milk from Nature of Things is one of the most luxurious self-care products I’ve experienced. It contains CBD and smells ahhhhmazing! These bath drops from Fur are super hydrating for your skin, and the casing is vegan and environmentally friendly.

I’ve admired the Jacquemus ‘Le Chiquito’ bag ever since I first saw influencers carrying it a few seasons ago. It comes in a ton of colors, and while I haven’t found an occasion for justifying the purchase (yet), you can bet this will be on the top of my list post-pandemic when I have a social life again.

My absolute favorite item on this list is by far the Anissa Kermiche Jugs Jug. I have wanted this little work of art, and basically everything else she creates, for my office for so long. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but well worth it in my opinion.

I hope you all have a safe and happy Valentine’s Day, whatever form that may take this year. As always, thank you for reading and sharing!
