Blush with the finest Valentine’s Day gifts
Love is all around this February. Whatever the status, everyone can always rely on Rustan’s for the finest gifts that make the heart skip a beat. Celebrating with a partner? Or how about Galentine’s with besties? Color the season with fun and affection by surprising loved ones — or self — the most thoughtful Valentine’s Day gifts. Here’s what to find at the country’s premiere department store.
Make it last
Let love shine by gifting what partner has been eyeing for a while. Don’t mind the splurge — it’s all worth it — and make moments time can never erase. For men with an appetite for adventure and style, watch jaws drop when they unwrap a new Montblanc watch. Got a guy who dons classic dapper fashion? Get him the Montblanc 4810 Automatic Chronograph 43mm in Blue; or opt for the Montblanc Tradition Manual Winding 40mm in stainless steel case.
For the ladies, make their day sparkle by reuniting them with their best friend: diamonds. The Margherita collection by Damiani features a sunburst, floral pendant in graduating pavé diamonds set on 18k white gold. Gift the whole set that comes with a necklace, bangle, ring, and earrings for a complete drop-dead-gorgeous look.
Celebrate the best
Who says Valentine’s Day can’t be with besties? For the ladies who have always had your back, it’s time to say “I love you” with the cutest Galentine’s party. Start with a toast to friendship that surely lasts for all eternity — bring out celebratory champagne flutes from Luigi Bormioli and pop open a bottle. With a drink in hand, take selfies with besties while rocking an irresistible pout, thanks to Stila’s Sheer Felice Liquid Lipstick or get the “eyebrows on fleek” with Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Laminated Look Brow Kit.
For your Millennial or GenZ brother who’s making a name for themselves, help them stay on track with their goals by staying organized. Go for Knomo’s durable backpacks, briefcases, laptop bags, and carry-on luggage; then for wallets and accessories, check out Il Bisonte. Aside from keeping bills and cards properly tucked, the brand also promotes sustainability by exclusively using biodegradable materials.
How about sisters? It’s always fun spending quality time together and catching up while painting each other’s nails- Deborah Lipmann has a variety of hues; from shimmery pinks to pastels and bright neons. Catch a midnight romcom together while wearing Saturday Skin’s Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask. Add more smiles when you gift a Self Portrait or Adolfo Dominguez dress, which your sister can use on special occasions.
For the little ones, give the gift of creativity with Crayola washable gel pens and crayon sets. You can also opt for a cute bunny plush from Jellycat for your tot’s everyday companion.
Start with Y-O-U
You may already have all your loved ones jotted on your V-day gift list, but have you written your own name yet? There’s a saying, “you can’t give what you don’t have” so never forget to start with yourself. Love yourself and indulge in nice things this Valentine’s Day.
You may buy yourself flowers, but you can also wear it with Diptyque’s Eau Rose EDP – a fragrance that brings together the most unexpected accords naturally present in the rose. Complement this floral fantasy with Voluspa’s rose-scented candles while savoring Theo & Philo dark chocolates. Embrace your vulnerability and start journaling with your own favorite fountain pen from Montblanc. Finally, get your hands on Longchamp’s candy-pink bags available under the Box-Trot, Epure, and Foulonné collections.
