January felt like a full six weeks this year, but we’ve finally made it to February. And love is certainly in the air. 

It’s never a bad time to tell someone you love them, and we’re leaning all the way in this month. To kick things off, we’ve partnered with some of our favorite people online and IRL to dream up a few actually-solid Valentine’s Day gift guides – for her and for him.

Our reccos aren’t like others: they’ll have your situationship begging for a label, your longtime boyfriend down on one knee, and your spouse rethinking that ‘no gifts this year’ pact – that’s how confident we feel in these picks from Lauren Elizabeth, Andrew Lawson, and Michael Rapetti. 

A preview of their very best takes:

Over the course of February, our editors will also be sending love letters to the products they love wholeheartedly: a foolproof Crown Affair hair lineup, 9 great pairs of loafers (ruched, suede, printed, the works), a dreamy pajama set worth investing in, and more. If you’re more of a let’s-just-add-to-cart type, here’s the quick and dirty on what we’re adoring:

Crown Affair

The Leave-In Conditioner

I apply it on both wet and dry hair to keep it feeling hydrated, silky, and smooth. It’s a staple in my routine for achieving a natural, healthy look!

Its ability to hydrate the hair without weighing it down. It smooths frizz, detangles, adds shine and is a heat protectant. It is also made with high-quality ingredients to support the health of your hair!”
