Hi guys! I’m currently writing this from my kitchen table in my little New York City apartment, with Pani on my lap and the sun shining through so bright, and it makes me sooooo excited for spring! But before we get to spring, Valentine’s Day is just a couple weeks away and I am so happy to share this gift guide with you because I absolutely LOVE everything in it.
Growing up my mom always made Valentine’s Day a special day for our family. So I’ve always seen Valentine’s Day as a day to celebrate all love, not just romantic love. A day to remind us to tell the people we care about that we love them and they are special to us. So there’s a whole range of gift ideas below from affordable to splurge items, as well as gifts that would be great for romantic partners and gifts that would be great for anyone you love in your life too.
If chocolates are your thing I’ve got a brand for you that not only tastes great but also supports animal rescue. Rescue Chocolate is an artisan vegan chocolate company based out of NYC that dedicates ALL of their profits to animal rescue. This is a great way to support a good cause and give a thoughtful (and delicious) gift this Valentine’s Day. My favorite chocolate bar is the peanut butter pit bull and all their chocolates can be ordered online and delivered to your front door. (And just an FYI, even though there are super cute dogs on the labels, this chocolate is for human consumption, not for dogs.)
And I’ve got another great gift option if you want to give someone special in your life a gorgeous vegan and cruelty-free jacket or coat. My Noize discount code TEDI20 will get you 20% off everything on the Noize site, in addition to all their end of season sale prices, so you can get major, major savings. You’ll find my favorite wool-free, wool-like coat featured in the gift guide below. Just add code TEDI20 when checking out on the Noize site.

I hope you guys like these gift options! Now, I know Valentine’s Day can be a hard day if you’re missing someone or have been through any kind of loss (I’ve been there). So if you’re feeling sad this Valentine’s Day (or even if you’re not!), do something to honor yourself and still make your day a sweet and special one.
Did you see something in the gift guide that you liked that you wish someone was giving to you? Treat yourself to it if you can! Or get a massage, get a facial, book a reiki appointment, buy yourself a pretty little crystal with good vibes, burn some sage and meditate, go to a gentle yoga class, cook something delicious or just get your favorite takeout. Whatever will put a smile on your face, do that! Self-love is love too, and it’s so important.
Love you all and grateful to have you as a part of my community!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
