Top 3 Gifts for HER

ATELIER PAULIN Forever Necklace: Do you want to show your commitment this Valentine's Day? Consider this Atelier Paulin 14K yellow gold, "Forever" necklace, hand crafted from a single precious metal wire. Not only is this Parisian gift beautiful and on trend, but it will communicate a sense of infinity and devotion. 

CREED Spring Flower Perfume: Is your lady glamorous and classic? Consider this CREED perfume she's sure to love! Spring Flower bottles the glamor and fashion of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Much like the erstwhile starlets of the silver screen, the style and grace of this scent is a timeless classic. Flirtatious fruity/fresh top notes intrigue the senses, softening into delicate florals and sensual musk. She'll think of you every morning when she puts it on. 

CHLOE Nile Handbag: You can never go wrong with a classic, timeless handbag. Crafted from glossy lambskin with a nuanced "spazzolato sfumato" effect, the Nile minaudière is a compact evening bag with a playful twist. The half-moon silhouette is framed by a gold-toned metallic arc on the underside. The line's distinctive articulated bracelet brings a jewelry twist to the equestrian allure. This bag is brand new this season and will be sure to impress your significant other. 

Top 3 Gifts for HIM

TOM FORD Alexei Sunglasses: These Italian made aviator style sunnies are composed of matte brown aluminum, accented with translucent tortoiseshell acetate temples with visible core wire. They feature a brow bar with clear nose pads and brown lenses that have 100% UV Protection. They are essential for the man who exudes confidence. He'll think about you every day he wears them! 

CREED Aventus Cologne: Impress your guy with the gift of a signature scent. The exceptional Aventus was inspired by the dramatic life of a historic emperor, celebrating strength, power and success. Introduced in 2010 and crafted by the deft hand of Sixth Generation Master Perfumer Olivier Creed in collaboration with his son Erwin, this scent has grown to become the best-selling fragrance in the history of the brand. Olivier created its iconic name derived from a ("from") ventus ("the wind"), illustrating the Aventus man as destined to live a driven life, ever galloping with the wind at his back toward success. Aventus is a sophisticated blend for individuals who savor a life well-lived.

ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA Duffle: This bag is the gift that keeps on giving as you plan romantic getaways throughout the year. When investing in an item that gets as much use as a duffel bag, it's good to choose a piece that's not only beautifully crafted but highly functional. This Ermenegildo Zegna style has been made in Italy from the house's soft leather that's put through a weaving process for an even more luxurious texture. It's sizable enough for a weekend's worth of clothing, has both sturdy top handles and an adjustable shoulder strap.
