Valentine Gift Guide 2023: Montblanc, Swarovski, and More

Dreaming of the iconic love letters written by Ernest Hemingway to Marlene Dietrich, or Frieda Kahlo to Diego Rivera? Then we recommend delivering your poetic Valentines in the newly redesigned Montblanc Sartorial Collection of leather goods. Inspired by the allure and time-honored tradition of handwriting, the maison presents creative takes on luxurious leather bags, cases, totes, wallets, and more. Handles evoke vintage ink bottles and accessories are reminiscent of classic envelope designs in classic shades such as red, blue, and ivory. Personal customizations make the experience a modern love story for the ages. 

Some wear their heart on their sleeve, but why not place it on your Valentine’s finger with Swarovski’s Matrix Vittore Heart cocktail ring? In new heart-shaped silhouettes, vibrant colors, and stone sizes, the Matrix ring brims with grace and movement. Whether cut as a baguette, tapered baguette, or kite, the timeless style will no doubt make this Valentine’s Day for you and yours simply unforgettable. 

Celebrate your funny mal-entine in satirical style with former Editor in Chief of Esquire Jay Fielden and Dewar’s Scotch Whisky. The exclusive collaboration takes the form of “Mal-entine’s Day” cards, think entertaining dad jokes, social commentary, quips, and ironic life lessons accompanied by a personalized bottle of Dewar 12-year-old whisky.  Can’t think of the perfect line for your old friend, new flame, or favorite frenemy to grace the label? Don’t fret. Fielden offers 12 campy Valentine messages to suit your every heart-shaped need. 

Are you a February bride tying the knot during the most romantic month of the year? Look no further than the new capsule collection of bridal jewels by LA-based designer Nancy Newberg. After the joy of curating her son and his wife’s wedding jewels to become family heirlooms, Newberg was inspired to embellish her premier bespoke bridal jewelry collection—think lovely, long earrings in a myriad of shapely and geometric diamonds, band rings that move with fluidity and ease, and a dazzling new take on the tennis necklace. 

Spending Valentine’s Day on the slopes? Keep yourself and your favorite ski bunny warm and cozy this winter with Moncler’s Gaia boots. Made to perfection in Italy, and available in an array of candy-colored hues, the iconic boot is down-filled, water-repellent, anti-slip, and can be styled in multiple ways—allowing for sweet, seamless adventures, from snowy mountaintops to fireside cocktails. 

Love is in the air with LAFCO’s Lavender Flower Reed Diffuser. The scent of sparkling citrus and renewing mint leaves blends beautifully with warm rosemary, vibrant violet, sweet vanilla, and lavender absolue—harvested directly from the shimmering fields of Provence, France. Natural wood reeds bloom from a hand-blown glass vessel which can be recycled as a one-of-a-kind treasure in your home. 

Two hearts are better than one with Guita M’s hot pink sapphire stud earrings. Boasting red rubies and 18k gold, these sweet treasures are reminiscent of the classic, heart-shaped pastel Valentine candies, but worth their weight in gold.
