Moody Picks: Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Her

Valentine’s Day can be a tough holiday to make unique each year. Especially since it will always be a day associated with classic gifts like roses, chocolates and Hallmark cards. And don’t get me wrong; the old standbys are perfect gifts when you’re in a pinch. But why not try to switch it up this year. This Valentine’s Day, spray some love in the air with a sexy fragrance like the new Viktor & Rolf BonBon or the new Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Rosé, give your friends and family trinkets that they’ll love like this small Glass Tray from J.Crew or this Pineapple Trinket Dish & Clips from Anthropologie and make your sweetheart skip with glee with these Kate Spade Love List Heart Stud Earrings or this Pandora Linked Love Ring.
