Lisa Barlow shares style and home faves, from $6, for living that rich-mom life
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow could teach a class on the rich-mom aesthetic, with her high-low approach that manages to toe the perfect line between casual and luxury. She's just as chic in a pair of leggings and sneakers as she is in a mini dress and stiletto heels. Lucky for us, she's here to prove that you don't need to break the bank to look — and feel — like you're living in the lap of luxury. From her most trusted foundation pieces to her favorite candle for gifting, Barlow's picks deliver quiet luxury (and some serious glamour) for under 100 bucks. We also rounded up some of the best rich mom-inspired shoes for anyone in need of a new pair of kicks for school pickups — or, if you're like Barlow, those Diet Coke runs. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

A ravioli-shaped spoon rest they'll get use out of regularly — not just on pasta nights. It's durable, safe, easy to clean, and will win their heart over the same way their favorite local Italian restaurant has. Promising review:"Exactly as pictured and absolutely adorable.

A tulip-shaped tea infuser that'll look just darling hanging out in their favorite mug — bonus points if said mug resembles a flower pot. Promising review:"What a cheerful tea infuser this is! It is so cute standing in my mug of tea! It stands well, infuses well, and washes well. It was a gift when I was recovering from surgery and it was such a welcome bit of cheer in the morning routine. It just makes me smile." — coaviatrix Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 5. A fill-in-the-blank What I Love About Us book you can buy two of so each of you can fill out what you love most about the other — it'll be a nice reminder the next time your partner "forgets" to use a coaster on the new coffee table or sneezes without covering their mouth. Amazon Promising review:"This book was a lot of fun to fill in with fun memories and personalized sentiments. There are many, many pages so be prepared to sit down and think of a lot of ideas to completely fill this book. I gave this to my boyfriend as a gift and he thought it was so sweet that he cried the good kind of tears. Very clever gift idea." — Denise K Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 6. Or a couple's activity book featuring fun prompts like brainstorming potential matching tattoos and deciding your couple theme song (bonus points if it's something completely random like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" because that's what was playing when you first met at a wedding) — a must-have for any duo looking to add some lighthearted fun to their day-to-day. Amazon Promising review:"Just like the previous book with some differences. We enjoy that these mini-dates can be as long or as short discussions as we wish. They are good conversation warmups for us." — Tom Jahn Get it from Amazon for $14.09. 7. A unisex perfume featuring scents of fresh fig, iris, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla in a simple but aesthetically pleasing bottle that'll look great on any vanity.

I love this scent, and it lasts very well. The bottle is substantial and good quality." — AJ Get it from Amazon for $99 (also available in various other scents). 8. A bouquet of Lego roses they'll likely enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. Reviewers have also noted they're a great option for gifting someone who is allergic to flowers! Amazon, The set comes with 12 roses and 4 sprigs of baby's breath. Promising review: "I've fallen in love with every Lego Botanical Collection and this is no exception. Beautifully created." — Kelly S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99.

I will be purchasing more." — kayla Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five styles). 10. Or a heart-shaped terrarium in case your partner actually does have a green thumb and enjoys keeping little plant babies thriving — it comes fully assembled, but you will need to pick up the succulents, air plants, moss, etc, to complete the gift. Amazon Promising review:"Yes, the terrarium is small, but for my first DIY terrarium project, it was a manageable size. From reading the reviews, I knew it was not watertight, so I lined the bottom with a quart-size freezer bag that I cut open. I lined the bottom with pebbles and a thin layer of activated charcoal before adding soil and plants. Another reviewer recommended not lifting the terrarium after it was filled so I placed it on a pretty tray that will also catch water and make it easier to move. I am in love with it and can't wait to make another, larger terrarium." — NB Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven styles). 11. A Local Eclectic anniversaire charm you can customize with gems or materials to mark a specific anniversary (Year 1 = gold, Year 20 = emerald, etc.) — so thoughtful! Or throw caution to the wind and just design one you know they'll love. Local Eclectic is a woman-founded and woman-run business based in Chicago. I own a bunch of stuff from the brand and have yet to be disappointed! BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman has this unique item: "I have two of these on my necklace: my partner's birthstone and amethyst, which corresponds to our six years together. Jewelry is such a classic gift, so I particularly love that these charms have a deeper meaning beyond just looking pretty. I love my two charms so much that I'm very strongly considering getting charms for years one through five, so I'm up to date! And a side note: These charms are excellent fidget toys! I often find myself unconsciously playing with my necklace charms, and it's very calming." Get it from Local Eclectic for $70 (available in 21 styles). 12. A set of tortilla coasters so they can celebrate the best carb in all the world through their everyday decor. Feliz Modern is a Latine-owned brand based in San Antonio carrying all kinds of amazing home items, games, accessories and more. Get a set of four from Feliz Modern for $10. 13. A very dapper Squishmallow you won't be able to resist pick(le)ing out for your love. I mean, look at him! He's better dressed than I am on my fanciest night out! Be careful, he might just steal YOUR Valentine's date. Amazon If you're purchasing this for an avid collector, you might benefit from an over-the-door Squishmallow holder. Promising review:"My daughter has been obsessed with Squishmallows, particularly Charles the Pickle plush. We purchased this distinguished pickle as a Valentine's Day present for her, and she loved it. The character is cute, the color is true to the picture, and the quality and softness is everything you expect in a Squishmallow." — Adam and Andrea Burton Get it from Amazon for $21.77 and check out these other Valentine's Day options like Aurora the Owl, Sy the Fish, a kiss-covered Stitch, and Cherry the Cherry. 14. A mason jar cold brew maker for your partner who prefers to sip on iced coffee all year — yes, even when it's 15 degrees out in the middle of winter. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers! County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 15. And a cheeky "love notes" glass they can use to sip their cold brew or a lil' mimosa while hosting a Galentine's Day brunch and gushing over what a wonderful and thoughtful partner you are. Anthropologie Promising review:"These glasses are adorable and of great quality. I got three because I like the fact that they are a 'pair' and go great together. I highly recommend." — BelaF Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in five styles). 16. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" — aka an absolute essential for achieving peak comfort goals in their living room. It features a spot to hold their remote, two mugs, and two additional beverages. They honestly may never want to leave the couch again. Amazon Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 17. A keepsake statue kit that's gonna make your sweetheart say, "I've gotta ~hand~ it to you, this gift is pretty special." This kit includes a plastic molding bucket, molding powder, a casting stone, fine sandpaper, course sandpaper, a demolding stick, detailing pin, and detailed instructions. Promising review:"Such a fun date night activity. Easy to assemble outside of the portion that you can't dump down the sink. My boyfriend and I made a mold of us holding hands and i still cherish it. Has been over a year and held up very well." — carli Get it from Amazon for $39.99. 18. A 100 Date Ideas Scratch-Off Poster filled with date ideas you've always wanted to do but never had the motivation to actually do! The two of you will spend wayyyy less time scrolling through Netflix on the weekend and more of your precious hours out and about on adventures. Amazon Promising review:"This was perfect to give to my girlfriend on our anniversary! A very nice present for those who tend to be indecisive!" — Aaron Lamson Get it it from Amazon for $14.49. 19. A pack of squishy animal-themed gel pens (complete with 24 colorful refills!) that'll look adorable hanging out on their desk. There's enough in the pack that you can graciously pass 'em out to their friends, too. Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without adding something that's borderline too cute! Promising review: " These pens are fun for the senses! I didn't even realize they came with ink refills until I opened up the package. The gel ink refills are my favorite!" — Gomez-Orlioglu Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of three and five). 20.

I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 35 colors and four sizes). 21. A fan favorite Otherland candle that'll make their home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle likely choose one of these. Amazon I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US. Additionally, Otherland is a small business! Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in 14 scents). 22. A personalized straw topper to hilariously help them mark which tumbler in the house is theirs — I'm begging you, please get one made of something extra silly like a cutout of *your* face or Nicolas Cage's. Promising review:"I was very surprised by the quality of the straw cover. I sent in a picture of my dog with the order, and it was cropped perfectly without compromising the quality of the image. Sooo cute!" — Kim Veliky Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 23. An adventure and date night scratch-off book filled with date ideas that'll add an extra spark to your relationship. It also comes with spots for instant camera pics, so you can snap a pic, pop it in the book, and cherish the fun memories you make later on. Amazon Promising review: "The book itself is well made. Hardcover and looks nice enough to put on a shelf or somewhere on display. It comes with two little scratchers to rub off the material that covers the date ideas. This product is super cute! My girlfriend and I have done two of the dates so far, and that alone has made it worth the money. If you are someone who struggles to come up with date ideas, this is ideal, and you can look back at the memories you made. After we finish the book, we'll definitely check out one of their other ones." — Emily Get it from Amazon for $47.98. 24. A jar of Momofuku's chili crunch for any foodie to jazz up their meals — we're talkin' everything from eggs to ice cream. It's made with three types of Mexican chilis, crunchy garlic, and shallots to add heat and texture to every bite. BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell really adores this jar of goodness: "I put this stuff on everything! It just makes food taste better. I highly recommend to any fellow spicy lovers looking for the perfect topping. This chili oil comes with seasoned salts, Mexican chilis, dried garlic, and shallots." Get it from Amazon for $10.39 (available in four flavors and as a multipack). 25. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, aka a delectable blend of teriyaki sauce and barbecue sauce that'll have their tastebuds dancing with delight. Check out a TikTok of Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce in action. Bachan's is a small business that specializes in Japanese barbecue sauces. I'm a big condiment girly and the sauces from this brand have quickly become some of my faves! They're not overpowering and go well with so many dishes. I would happily just eat a bowl of white rice covered in this stuff, TBH. My husband loves the miso one and has been planning our meals around it! Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet and tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." — John Flora Get a set of two (Original + Miso from Amazon for $21.58 (available in five flavors and several combo packs). 26. A baguette birthstone bracelet you can personalize with stones that represent important people in their life — whether that's their kids, their pets, or each member of the Jonas Brothers. (Hey, why not?) It'll stack beautifully with their other fave pieces of jewelry. I have some lovely jewelry pieces from Caitlyn Minimalist, a woman-owned small business, and I am such a fan. I've gotten necklaces for others as gifts! The quality is fantastic and the price is incredible for something so beautiful. Promising review: " I got this bracelet for my daughter who just had a baby. I included her husband's birthstone also. It turned out beautiful and she absolutely loved it!" — Angela M. Get it from Caitlyn Minimalist for $31.20 (available in eight sizes, three finishes, and up to five birthstones) 27. A pair of platform slippers reviewers are looooving because they're super similar to the popular Ugg Tazz style. They can wear these cozy, fleece-lined babies both indoors and outdoors, so no need to take them off until bedtime. 😉 Reviewers also recommend going up a half size if you want to wear socks with your shoes. Promising review:"These are so cute and perfect! They are comfortable and true to size! My expectations were beyond met! I have been sharing the link to these with so many people already!!!! I have returned my Tazz Uggs (not true to size and expensive) and will buy more of these instead!" — Lineth L. Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and in four colors). 28. A playful scratch-off Valentine's Day card you can write your own secret message on then watch with delight as they scratch to reveal it. Way better than a boring ol' regular card. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly sent me one of these (you can buy 'em in bulk!) for one Valentine's Day and it was a delightful treat! The element of surprise is definitely more exciting than most cards. Added bonus? InklingsPaperie is a small business based in Plymouth, Michigan that sells a variety of scratch-off paper items. Promising review:"This card is so cute! It looks just like the picture and the scratch-off sticker was super easy to apply." — Breanne Ragland 29. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to their daily stack. Promising review: "This bracelet is gorgeous! It really looks like real diamonds. I chose rose gold and if this holds up well, I will have to order another in silver. It's really nice that they offer a few different size options, I rarely see that. From reading the reviews, I saw some complaints about the clasp but, I think it's nice. It's very secure so there's no chance of it coming off." — Sarah Downs Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 30. Or a rainbow repeating Mickey Mouse tennis bracelet that'll add some color and pizzazz to their arm candy — just imagine how lovely it'll look when the sun hits it as they're scrolling Insta looking for the next Disney-style trend. Amazon Promising review:"This is so cute and dainty. From a distance, you can't tell that the stones are Mickeys because they are so small, but when someone notices or I show them, they really are impressed at how beautiful it is." — FNN Get it from Amazon for $60 (available in three styles). 31. A pair of custom Funko Pops that'll impress the ultimate collector — they certainly won't have these on their shelf already! You can create the two of you, your kids, add your pets, whatever! So fun! Funko I had one of these made in the POP! Yourself Hogwarts style for my sister for Christmas and it was such a hit! Create your own figure at Funko for $30/figure. 33. A Taylor Swift lyric–inspired coloring book that'll have their brain screaming "Drop everything now!" a la "Sparks Fly." It has 45 intricate pages to color that are loosely designed to follow the Eras tour in order. (Genius!) This Valentine's Day treat them to a cozy night in with their carefully curated Swiftie playlist and a fresh set of colored pencils. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed Don't forget to snag a fresh colored pencil set on Amazon for $11.99 or indulge in the dual-tip markers I've been using for $9.99 (also on Amazon). I got this as a gift for my Secret Santa exchange with my girlfriends and, despite being a sleep-deprived parent myself, I couldn't help cracking it open as soon as my kids went to bed! The pages are intricate but not overwhelming and I love how themed they are. Can't wait to keep coloring! Promising review: "I never thought I would enjoy adult coloring as much as I do with this book. It provides many opportunities to be creative, mix colors, be whimsical, and enjoy the lyrics." — Sherry Get it from Amazon for $9.99. If you want to *really* take the gift to the next level you can pair it with this Taylor Swift edition of Mad Libs, the latest edition of the Taylor Swift Little Golden Book, or a Taylor Swift song–inspired cocktail book. 34. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them for your partner for V-Day. They're gold plated (sweeeet), lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears. Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size). 35. A mixed set of flower-shaped coupe glasses featuring eye-catching colors and a vintage feel to 'em for your partner who appreciates gorgeous glassware. They might not even want to hand drinks out in them when guests are over in fear of one being dropped — but good news, at this price point, they *ABSOLUTELY* can (and should). Amazon Promising review:"These are gorgeous. They look delicate but are pretty sturdy. They came very well packaged. I love the flower design for something just a little different. I highly recommend." — Cindee S. Get a set of six from Amazon for $59.95. 36. A reading light they can wrap around their neck, excellent if they have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while they turn the pages of their book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night, and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck, but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven styles). 37. A subscription to Book of the Month for your bibliophile S.O. who hates having to actually speak to someone in a store about what they should read next and would much rather have their next fave novel delivered to their door. Book of the Month I was gifted a BOTM subscription many years ago and I've stayed loyal since! It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to different people. Each month, your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and, more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color-coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM, and I couldn't be happier! Get three months from Book of the Month for $59.99. 38. A triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up. Amazon Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well! Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles). 39. Pink Joy-Con controllers you can swap out for the ones that come with the Nintendo Switch OLED — these will add a fun pop of color to your gaming sesh while feeling like the perfect, festive Valentine's Day treat. I have these pink Joy-Con controllers and they simply make me happy. That should be reason enough to treat yourself, right? Anyways, they connect just as easily as the controllers my Switch OLED came with and function exactly the same. They just add a fun aesthetic to my gaming and I love that! It's also been nice to have an extra set of Joy-Con controllers when I want to play more interactive games with guests (and will definitely come in handy as my kids get older and want to join in on the fun). Promising review: "I got these for my sister along with the new Princess Peach game and she loves them. She loves the color so much." — alpha85 Get them from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in four other colors) 40. A boxed set of The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbooks, perfect for anyone who would basically give their kidney away if it meant being able to chow down on a Mickey-shaped pretzel right about now. Amazon This set comes with The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks EPCOT Cookbook and The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook. Promising review: "We like going to the Disney parks, and one of the things we try to do is figure out the different dishes we get at the sit-down restaurants. While most of them are pretty easy to figure out, some of them are not. These books help us go a long way to recreating some of our favorites. It's a fun read." — RocketTom Get it from Amazon for $36.84. For more recipes, check out The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book and the latest addition The Unofficial Disney Parks Holidays Cookbook. 41. Pearl earrings that'll go with every outfit they own — whether it's a little black dress or denim. They'll think of you fondly each time they put 'em on. The Pearl Source is a small business! Promising review:"My girlfriend has always wanted a real pair of pearl earrings. For her birthday I bought her these earrings, and she absolutely loves them. She has sensitive ears and has trouble wearing certain types of earrings. Since she got these she has been wearing them nonstop and hasn't had any trouble." — Lafe Get them from Amazon for $84+ (available in four sizes and two styles). 42. Espresso Martini Instant Cocktail Tea Bags that can be used to take *~tini time~* to the next level with minimal effort (and for wayyyy cheaper than a bar tab). All they'll need to do is steep the bag in cold water and a spirit of their choice (vodka is recommended, but it can also be made as mocktails) until the majority of the bag dissolves. Cheers to that! SAYSO is a small business! Promising review:"Initially thought these would need to steep in hot water, but they work in cold water. I like to let them steep around 10 minutes. Quick and delicious cocktails! I've tried all flavors but Old Fashioned and that's next. These are fantastic for cocktail lovers who camp. No heavy mixers to carry." — AnneF Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six other cocktails and in a variety pack). 43. Aesop Aromatique Hand Balm you might want to think twice about buying because it's going to ruin every other hand cream for you *and* your partner (since you'll definitely be stealing some from them after you gift it) — it smells divine and is so hydrating they'll wonder if it was handcrafted by Poseidon. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed My husband bought me this for Christmas (after becoming very obsessed with Aesop's Rind Concentrate Body Balm) and it is unreal how well it works. A little goes such a long way — it really is quite possibly the most hydrating hand lotion I've ever tried. This specific one is filled with Cedar Atlas, Patchouli, Clove Bud, which gives it a very unique floral aroma that everyone should experience once in their life. BRB while I pause writing this post to search for a candle that smells like I'm back. I also took a second to put some of the lotion on. It genuinely absorbs immediately into my skin — I'm not sure how I ever survived winter without it! Promising review:"This was definitely a splurge for me, but I will be repurchasing again and again! The cream feels luxurious and smells like a spa! It's not greasy, and absorbs well." — Bunnylady Get it from Amazon for $33. 44. An adventure book just like the one Carl and Ellie created together in Up before Pixar went ahead and crushed all of our souls into a million pieces — they'll love it ;). Promising review:"Super awesome gift to make. I made it for my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend because he loved the movie Up. (Who doesn't? It's so cute.) We're going to continue adding to the scrapbook and hopefully pass it on to our children. The book is real sturdy and easy to remove and add pages. Pages are easy to write on and paste on pictures. Really great for the price." — Esther G. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 45. A darling heart-shaped Paris Hilton cast-iron Dutch oven they can leave out on display during February for Valentine's Day but also, obviously, utilize all year for whipping up delicious recipes. It'll have them saying "Le Who-set?" whenever someone asks if it's from another, pricier brand. Promising review:"10/10! A perfect-sized pot for 1–2 people to share a meal, cook out of, or eat out of! I just received it yesterday, and I've already cooked with it twice with no issues at all. It's the cutest light pink color and the shape of a heart at a fantastic price. I currently own three Dutch ovens and this is the best one that I already use way more often than the other two. It is not heavy at all, and it is very manageable for an everyday pot. Super easy to clean with some soaking after letting it cool down and rubbing with the soft side of the sponge." — D. Dorado Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 46. A luxurious super soft scarf that looks just like one you might find in Anthropologie and has been designed to feel similar to cashmere. A flawless and thoughtful gift for your partner who is always freezing (you just might not have to give up your own coat every date night!). Amazon Promising review: "Would 100% buy again. The SOFTEST material ever. And it is oversized to perfection. Looks just like the picture which I was skeptical lol. I love it. I need another color." — Heather Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in 26 styles). 47. A customizable sweatshirt you can snag for the love of your life *and* the kids — nothing will make her light up more than the option to match alongside her minis this Valentine's Day. Make sure to snap a pic of them together! BFFs and Babes I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've also purchased so many as gifts! The sweatshirts are super cozy and don't run in the wash (thankfully). I love that you can customize them to say whatever you want! This new style for Valentine's Day features a font that's reminiscent of the one used on Taylor Swift's Folklore and Evermore albums. You'll find me and my tiny humans wearing these waaaaay past February though. BFFs and Babes is also currently promoting a special collection in collaboration with Jennifer Love Hewitt to help raise money to support victims of the Los Angeles Fires. 100% of the profits will be donated to Baby2Baby. Get them from BFFs and Babes: adult sweatshirt for $54 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL, in full-length or cropped, and in pink), toddler/youth sweatshirt for $45 (available in sizes 3T–6T, youth 6–14, and in pink), and baby bodysuit for $25 (available in sizes NB–24M). 48. A Valentine's Day pack of Baked by Melissa cupcakes inspired by a box of chocolates that'll have them quoting Forrest Gump's mom until they've eaten every last one. It features dark chocolate, marshmallow, Dulce de Leche, brookie, red velvet, and strawberry flavors. Delish! Baked by Melissa For an additional fee you can add a personalized card — great for a long distance love! Promising review:"This box of cupcakes makes the perfect gift for someone you love and an even better Valentine's day treat!! The box is so cute and everything was delivered in perfection condition. The cupcakes are adorable and they taste so fresh. So small BUT SO MUCH flavor!! I loved the strawberry, Dulce de Leche and marshmallow the best :) Truly never disappoints." — Ava Get a pack of 25 from Baked by Melissa for $47. 49. And an engraved heart-shaped locket charm you can count on to bring a tear to their eye — it's a classic gift that you can personalize with an initial or a word and then take it to the next level by adding a photo to the inside. It doesn't get more special than this. Catbird, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed My "son" got me this for Valentine's Day two years ago (he was 10-months-old at the time, so do with that what you will), and it is, to date, one of the most beloved items I own. It has his initial engraved on the outside and a tiny photo of him on the inside. I will treasure it forever and get compliments whenever I wear it. Now that he's basically a full-fledged adult (ahem, 2.5), he constantly asks me to wear it so he can open it and see "tiny Noah inside!" Get it from Catbird for $188+ (available with or without a chain).
