Have you ever given a gift and, despite your significant other’s best efforts to look thrilled, you can tell they hate it? The too-wide smile. The flushed cheeks. The suspiciously high pitched “Oh my gosh, I love it.” Painful…for everyone involved.

This Valentine’s Day, The Quality Edit is ensuring that never happens to you. We went straight to the source and asked trusted founder and longtime tastemaker Lauren Elizabeth to share what’s actually on her Valentine’s Day wishlists this year.

As she celebrates her first Valentine’s Day as a married woman, Lauren shared the home pieces she’s genuinely loving right now. All thoughtful, design-forward picks that make perfect gifts for anyone who believes the home should feel as good as it looks.
