LADIES' GIFTS: While the traditional go-to for Valentine's Day fineries are classic diamond studs, it's time to get creative. These days, men (and women) have more options than ever for choosing a cool gift for their lovely lady.
More contemporary women will appreciate a modern cuff like this diamond-studded one from Vivre or this chunky gold version by Alexis Bittar.
Get your classy, traditional lady to swoon with the platinum Infinity necklace at Tiffany & Co., or the Valentino Petal Hobo at Saks Fifth Avenue.
If jewelry isn't her thing, consider this edgy Alexander McQueen scarf in a variety of colors, a sweet Heart-Shaped Flask with her favorite liquor, or a cute, sequined-heart headband from Bando.
MEN'S GIFTS: Men are traditionally hard to shop for, unless you stick with one motto: keep it simple.
If the thing you love most about your man is his sentimental charm, consider one of these titanium rings from Penelope Poet. They are engraved with a message in your own handwriting for a truly personal touch, and titanium means they'll last forever.
Guys with style will dig a handsome set of cuff links like this enamel-faced pair by Hugo Boss or a collection of monogrammed dress shirts from J. Crew.
A man that loves his bath time as much as you will enjoy masculine pampering with the The Man Can's island-inspired bath essentials.
Finally, if the way to your man's heart is truly through his stomach, fine liquor and bacon are a surefire combo. Check out the Hennessy XO & Paradis Gift Set for an especially luxurious fellow, or a custom engraved bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label for the more traditional guy. Pair them with a box of delicious Vosges Bacon Chocolates and you are good to go.
OTHERS: Don't forget your friends on Valentine's Day! The personalized open circle pendant from Lisa Leonard is stamped with your own message and looks great on both guys and girls, and the Bebe Quilted Heart Bag is the perfect gift for your very best girlfriend.
Of course, pets give you unconditional love year-round, so they deserve a little V-Day of their own. Treat them to a Stretch Limo Pet Bed or a Swarovski-encrusted collar and show them off as your ultimate valentine.
