Spoil Your Valentine (Or Yourself) With These Splurgeworthy Gifts

tgy65Not to toot my own horn, but I purchased one of these Meyer lemon trees for my wife for Mother's Day, and it was an absolute hit. It's a thoughtful gift that can be enjoyed long-term by a plant lover, and I can attest to how delicious these lemons are. This four-foot lemon starter tree is easy to care for and supplies delightfully sweet and juicy Meyer lemons all year round. Because this prolific tree is fully rooted, they can see blooms and fruits virtually right away. It does well inside and outside and can easily be transferred to the ground at any point. So far, mine has survived nearly a year in a small city apartment.

A fresh new pair of boots can really spruce up a winter wardrobe. Dr. Martens boots will never go out of style, but if your sweetie has been reticent to buy their own because they are too recognizable, then you need to check out this monochromatic version. The lack of yellow stitching makes these boots sleeker and more discreet, perfect for the quiet luxury lover, while still enjoying the iconic Dr. Martens construction, quality and comfort.

These boots have great slip-resistant outsoles that makes them ideal for winter wear, are easy to style with all aesthetics and last for years. You can get these in men's and women's sizing.

If the person you are shopping for is a wellness and spa devotee, then what could be better than their very own infrared sauna blanket, like this one? This popular Higher Dose device is designed to provide portable, at-home benefits akin to an infrared sauna you'd find at a spa. Said benefits can include helping with glowy skin, relaxation, muscle recovery and more. One reviewer pointed out that, "the calming effect it has is incredible...It’s like an at-home mini retreat."

This particular option is considered by many to be an industry standard. It's safe, innovative and has spawned tons of copycats. The blanket sauna includes eight adjustable temperature settings and a handheld controller. I honestly can't imagine anything better than re-watching "Heated Rivalry" while lying in one of these bad boys.

It's very easy for me to become hyperfixated on luxury items, especially when they have the potential to be travel-related. I have convinced myself that the only way I will survive long-haul flights with my toddler is by purchasing this pair of cashmere sock shoes from Brave Pudding.

Available in six colors, these yummy shoes are designed for outdoor wear and are surprisingly durable. They're made with recycled cashmere and have a cushioned insole and nice grippy outsole. They're elegant and refined, just what we need to survive the chaos of holiday travel. Get a pair for the luxury lover in your life.

It has recently come to my attention that you can purchase pre-owned Hermès bags at Nordstrom, like this timeless Herbag zip toile and leather 20. Nordstrom is carrying everything from wildly expensive Birkins and Kelly bags to lipsticks and more. Few things scream luxury quite like an Hermès purse, and snagging a pre-owned bag (while still outrageously expensive) is (on many occasions) still cheaper than going in-store. Gift one of these to the person in your life with a serious bag obsession, and they'll love you for life.

The 10-cup coffee maker is handmade in the Netherlands and makes brewing a breeze. It quietly produces up to 40 ounces of coffee in four to six minutes with the push of one switch, ensuring you don’t disturb anyone (or yourself ― sometimes you just need silence in the mornings). It also features a hot plate to keep your coffee warm and an automatic off switch after 100 minutes. This model has a stainless steel coffee pot rather than a glass one, making it more durable than older models. But arguably, the best part is its design; the retro-like style looks incredible in your kitchen. It's an absolute must for the coffee lover in your life.

In previous reporting, experts referred to it as "a showstopper." It features a manual-adjust brew basket that lets you customize your coffee, along with a system engineered to extract the maximum flavor from your grounds.

It's made with titanium and designed to be durable without irritating sensitive skin. You can even pair it with other health apps like Apple Health, Google Health Connect, Flo, Strava and more. It's available in six different colors.
