Classy Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her
Lunya Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set
There are few better gifts than a set of silk pajamas. The Lunya Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set includes a cropped short-sleeve shirt and pair of high-rise, wide-leg pants for lounging in style. The pants have a slit on the bottom for ventilation—meaning no overheating while you sleep—and an elastic waistband for comfort. There are so many pretty colors to choose from, but the best part might be the machine washable silk material (delicate cycle only, please). Use code THEDAPPERDAHLIA for 15% off your first $100+ at Lunya. Lunya Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set, $278 at Lunya
Alexis Bittar Solanales Gold Crystal Skinny Collar
The Alexis Bittar Solanales Gold Crystal Skinny Collar is an elegant gift for jewelry collectors, featuring 14k gold-plated metalwork adorned with micro pavé crystal. The unique silhouette mimics a ripple in motion. It’s flexible so it can be adjusted for the perfect fit. Alexis Bittar also makes a matching Solanales Crystal Cuff Bracelet, so she can sparkle from any angle. Alexis Bittar Solanales Gold Crystal Skinny Collar, $225 at Neiman Marcus
What Katie Did 1930s Lounging Robe
She’ll feel like an Old Hollywood movie star in the floor-length 1930s Lounging Robe from vintage lingerie expert What Katie Did. Choose between peach or black satin, or a sultry sheer fabric. The robe ties in the back, rather than on the side, so it actually stays closed. The flutter sleeves drape beautifully and add to the drama in the best way. What Katie Did 1930s Lounging Robe, $110 at What Katie Did
Dita Von Teese Lingerie
Treat the lingerie lover in your life to a set from Dita Von Teese Lingerie. The burlesque queen has designed stunning bras, panties and garter belts for channeling your inner glamour girl. Each collection has unique details like soft lace, sheer cutouts and satin panels. Dita Von Teese Savoir Faire Underwire Bra, $85 at Bloomingdales
Voluspa Suede Blanc Candle
Does your valentine look forward to her weekly bath time ritual? Add to the spa-like experience with a Voluspa candle. There are tons of tantalizing scents to choose from, including Eucalyptus & White Sage, which one reviewer describes as, “soothing, fresh, clean,” or the seductive Cherry Gloss scent housed in red glass. I like Suede Blanc, a luxurious blend of “sueded leather, amber and cedar.” Voluspa Suede Blanc Candle, $35 at Bloomingdale’s
Oribe Valley of Flowers Eau du Parfum
Luxury haircare line Oribe also makes elegant fragrances. The Oribe Valley of Flowers Eau du Parfum has notes of Bulgarian rose, jasmine petals and peony blossoms, with “warm amber, textured woods and creamy musk.” The scent is also available in a Replenishing Body Wash, Restorative Body Creme and a Scented Candle if you’re wanting to put together a gift set. Oribe Valley of Flowers Eau du Parfum, $125 at Oribe
Playful Promises stockings
A new pair of stockings is the perfect gift to pair with a lingerie set. Playful Promises makes seamed stockings in fun colors for a retro look, plus hosiery with bows, leopard print, polka dots and other playful designs. Use code THEDAPPERDAHLIA for 10% off at Playful Promises. Playful Promises stockings, starting at $14 at Playful Promises
Parade x Betsey Johnson Collection
For the gal who’s all about being cute and comfy, Parade has everyday bralettes and underwear in an inclusive size range. The new Parade x Betsey Johnson collaboration features classic Betsey prints like pink leopard print. Pair the Betsey Johnson Vintage Rosette Triangle Bralette and matching String Cheeky for a fun and flirty set. Use code THEDAPPERDAHLIA for 20% off. Parade x Betsey Johnson Vintage Rosette Triangle Bralette, $36, and String Cheeky, $16, at Parade
Kedok Vinyl Record Player
For the music lover, a vintage-style record player is the ultimate gift. Pair it with a record that has romantic love songs, or one with music you can to dance to together. With a record player, your valentine can start the fun hobby of record collecting—and record hunting can be a cute future date idea for the both of you! Modern record players are usually Bluetooth-enabled so you can also play music from your phone through the speaker. Kedok Vinyl Record Player Bluetooth Turntable, $39.99 on Amazon
Photo album filled with memories
Let’s face it, flipping through photos on your phone just isn’t the same as looking through a tangible photo album of memories. Collect your favorites of you and your partner from trips you’ve taken, important occasions and days they just looked extra adorable. Then upload them and make a Shutterfly photo book, or print them out and add them to an old school photo album. The result is a gift to enjoy for years to come.
Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus Luggage
If you love planning trips with your partner, treat them to a stylish piece of luggage for your next adventure together. The Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus has a bit more room than a standard carry-on, so your valentine will have extra room to pack for the next romantic getaway. It’s the perfect size for road trips, stay-cations or long weekends away. Plus, it’s made with sustainable materials. Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus, $425 at Shopbop

Vintage Lingerie on Etsy
IEtsy is a great place to look for vintage lingerie and nightgowns, or you could search your local vintage clothing shops. Vintage lingerie has an elegant look, usually made of silk or nylon in ivory or pastel colors with romantic details. Depending on what your lovebug is into, you have a few options: slips and nightgowns come in all different lengths and have a glamorous appeal, or you could look for a matching bra and garter belt set.

A Vintage-Inspired Perfume
Perfume can be a tricky gift. It’s a very personal item, so it can be hard to find the right fragrance that your valentine will want to wear. Instead of splurging on a full bottle, I suggest perfume rollerballs, which are more affordable and come in smaller packaging, so your valentine can bring them on your next vacation. The Gilda Classic Hollywood Perfume Oil by Eliza Cosmetics is inspired by Rita Hayworth’s iconic role in the 1946 film noir, Gilda. Gilda Classic Hollywood Perfume Oil by Eliza Cosmetics, $14 at Etsy
Romantic Cocktails Book
If you and your valentine fancy a good cocktail, you’ll find inspiration in Romantic Cocktails: Craft Cocktail Recipes for Couples, Crushes, and Star-Crossed Lovers. In addition to digging into the lore of aphrodisiacs, the guide has over 75 recipes for cocktails and bar snacks made with ingredients known for being aphrodisiacs, like ginger, chocolate, ginseng, pomegranate and more. All of that can only amount to a delicious date night in. Romantic Cocktails, $17.99 on Amazon
A Book of Old Love Letters
Not everyone is able to write an epic love letter or poem. Your valentine will be just as happy reading a love letter written by someone else, when it’s been penned by prolific authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain, Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson. Your favorite bookworm will love getting lost in the pages of Love Letters of Great Men and Love Letters of Great Women, which include romantic letters written by historical figures. The former was featured in the first Sex and the City film.
An Adventurous Night Out
If you’re the kind of couple that values experiences over items, then go all out and treat each other to a night of food, entertainment and good old-fashioned debauchery. Get tickets to a burlesque show, hit the newest speakeasy bar or make a fun game of daring each other to do any number of risqué things in public. Valentine’s Day is the one time of the year you can get away with being extra naughty, right?
Happy Valentine’s Day, loves.
