The first thing she’s noticing is uplifting gifts from friends and family “that lean toward self-care and beauty products such as face masks, lipsticks, mini perfume kits and even fitness accessories," Bosco says. "We've also noticed an uprise in home details, such as candles and coffee table books." As for big-ticket items, jewelry, robes, and handbag purchases are trending.

Another theme emerging in Valentine’s Day shopping is thoughtful gifts that last beyond February 14. "I can see people intertwining a sense of self-love within gift giving," says Bosco. "It's really nice to see because these types of gifts give more than just the item, they give a mood and experience that can keep on giving!"
