Did you know that men typically shop for Valentine’s Day 48-hours in advance or less?! No wonder the traditional gifts are flowers and chocolate – you can snag those at any corner market you see!

This year, why don’t we cut our guys a break and give them a {less than subtle!} hint. There are fabulous treats out there that would most certainly make us feel well-loved, right?!

get your shop on: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

Chocolates get eaten and flowers die, but a gorgeous pair of heels, a hot handbag and, of course, killer jewelry last forever and go straight to our hearts! And you don’t even have to feel badly about the apparent extravagance. If you point your honey to The RealReal, my new go-to resource for stellar designer finds at major discounts, he’s going to save a TON. That’s probably the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for him! Everybody wins!!

So don’t delay. Just leave the page with your perfect gift up on your laptop when you know he’ll see it. Or maybe “accidentally” send him a link and say you’d meant the email for your Mom. If you’ve got a good one, he’ll get the hint. And if he doesn’t, you’ll have all weekend to shop!!
