17 Coquette-Coded Gifts for Valentine’s Day
Without a doubt, the best things in life are free. But it’s hard to say no when deep gestures of love come thoughtfully wrapped in Tiffany blue or Cartier rouge. It’s enough to make your heart skip a beat, even on Valentine’s Day. Whatever the gift you’re giving (or receiving), it doesn’t always have to be luxe and ostentatious to show you’re thinking of someone special. We’ve put together a list of some of the most classic—as well as out-of-the-box—gift ideas that align with the lacy, flushed, frilly, and hyper-feminine coquette aesthetic, whose flirty fashions and lifestyle ephemera nod to the Victorian Regency era. Consider a present—or two—for your significant other, plus-one, current romantic prospect, or best friend.
