Forget the Bouquet: These Are the Roses We'd Like to Receive on Valentine's Day
If youāre looking for Valentineās Day gift ideas and want to think outside the dozen-roses-sized box, let us offer up a few festive ideas. These gifts all have a longer half-life than a bouquet of red roses, and theyāre gifts youāll still be enjoying long after the holiday has passed. We canāt give up roses completely, thoughātheyāre an undeniable classicāwhich is why each of these gifts is rose-themed, rose-patterned, or rose-scented. Weāve got Southern favoritesālike a rosy Rifle Paper Co. journal and rose-themed Kate Spade jewelryāas well as a few unexpected nods to the go-to Valentineās Day flower. You just canāt go wrong with a rose, and weāre sure your sweetheart wouldnāt mind receiving any of these gifts in lieu of (or in addition to) a bouquet when February 14 rolls around this year. Happy Valentineās Day, and happy gifting!
