Smoother hair and moisturized skin: Slpbaby Silk Pillowcase

The OXO vacuum wine preserver is easy to use and will extend the life of an opened wine bottle by a week or two. Cheers!

Perfect pout: WinkyLux Flower Lip Balm

The beauty of Winky Lux’s Flower lip balm is not only that it has a real pink chrysanthemum flower visible on the inside, which is stunning, but that the clear-looking formula reacts with your skin’s pH levels to create a unique-to-you shade of Valentine pink. That makes this one of the most personal Valentine gift ideas for her. The coconut scent is a bonus.
These flowers will last and last: Pink Rose Plant
$30
A dozen roses would be lovely, albeit pricey and short-lived—not what you want from the “perfect” Valentine gift ideas for her.

The pink rose plant arrives budding and ready to bloom…just in time for a Valentine’s Day surprise.
State Appreciation Love Memento: Hand-Embroidered State Pillows
