Valentine’s Day Picks (sweet, wearable, and a little cheeky)
A little Valentine’s roundup of things I love—stitched hearts, cozy textures, playful charm, and thoughtful details that make everyday moments feel special. 💘
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all roses and red lingerie. This year I’m leaning into keepsake-level charm—pieces you’ll wear again, make with friends, or pull out every February like a little love ritual. Here’s my curated mix of favorites, broken down by vibe.
💘 Something to Wear
Little statements that do the flirting for you.
Evil eye heart brooch – A tiny pop of sparkle with a wink of protection. Pin it to a blazer, cardigan, or even a denim jacket for an “I tried, but not too hard” moment.
Embroidered initial heart sweater – Cozy, personal, and adorable for a mommy-and-me situation (or just you + coffee + Target run).
Bubble heart charm necklace – Playful and retro in the best way. Layers beautifully or stands on its own.
✂️ Something to Make
Crafty, cozy, and perfect for Galentine’s.
If your idea of romance includes snacks and needle + thread, this one’s for you. Invite your gals, open a bottle of wine, and let the crafting chaos commence.
Custom embroidery family photograph kit – A meaningful project that turns into heirloom decor. Bonus: great conversation starter.
Vintage embroidery cake – Whimsical, nostalgic, and honestly just makes you smile while stitching.
Tissue box Needlepoint - And if you really want to lean in, a needlepoint heart tissue box cover is the kind of charming, slightly unhinged Valentine detail I fully support.
Queen of Hearts needlepoint – A little drama, a little playing-card energy, very Valentine’s coded.
🍒 Something for Hosting
Because the table deserves a love language too.
Cherry cake candles – These look good enough to eat and set the mood instantly.
Colorful Milagro Hearts – Scatter them through your tablescape or use them as plate or napkin toppers for a layered, collected feel.
🏡 Something for the Home
Love notes you don’t have to explain.
Needlepoint “bisous” pillow – French, flirty, and perfect on a chair or bed.
Embroidered cocktail napkins – The kind of thing you pull out every February…and then never put away.
Milagro wall decor – Adds charm, color, and a little bit of magic wherever it lands.
