How To Be Your Own Boo: 7 Gifts To Get Yourself For Valentine’s Day

We may not be able to stay at our favorite hotels or book a spa appointment right now, but we can still keep the vibes going at home. Made of 100% Turkish cotton, Parachute’s Waffle Robe clings to the skin like brown butter on the tongue — soft, smooth and silky. Bonus points: their fabrics are Oeko-Tex certified, which means they’re free of harmful chemicals and substances usually found in the textile industry.

To get maximum enjoyment from your sacred V-Day robe time, take a few minutes to clean up around the house, put some music on and dim the lights. Let your robe transport you to The Ultimate Chill Zone.

As the world’s first electric flosser, Flaus combines dental floss with patented technology. Operating at 10,000 sonic vibrations per minute, it amps up the flossing experience and claims to be a more comfortable and gentle dental experience. Besides the tech component behind Flaus, it also boasts the bona fides of being both accessible and sustainable. The device can be used with just one hand and has an ergonomic handle that is easier to use for those with dexterity issues. Plus, the floss heads are made of recycled plastic (reducing the amount of floss normally used by 95%!) and can be returned to the brand to be fully upcycled.

Next priority: unctuous chocolatey snacks. None of that sad drugstore candy today, we’re doing it up.

Treat yourself to Milk Bar’s Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake. It comes with a Mini Red Velvet Cake which has — buckle your seatbelts, folks, we’re headed to Flavortown — decadent layers of chocolate red velvet cake, cookies ‘n cream cheese frosting, a chocolate cheesecake filling with crunchy chocolate bits, all topped topped with red velvet crumbs.

Who else is drooling? You’ll also get a dozen Red Velvet Truffles, which are pretty much a bite-sized chewy version of the stunning cake itself. Just be careful not to get any crumbs on your luxe Parachute robe, babe.

Ever received a bouquet of flowers from a suitor that just completely missed the mark? Here’s your chance to pick out exactly what you want. Send yourself some flowers from Urban Stems. Roses and carnations are for the basics, tbh. Urban Stems’ bouquets feature some trendier blooms like thistles, ranunculus and safari sunsets — all of which come from farms that don’t disrupt its region’s ecosystems and pay their workers fair, livable wages.

Write yourself a little note. Make it sweet or naughty, if you’re into it. The courier that hand-delivers your bouquet can chuckle all they want at your card that reads, “Dear Me: Damn, that ass in those jeans tho!? Love, Me.”

Get ultra-romantic by lighting as many candles as possible, including maude’s burn no. 1 Massage Candle. Maude perfected their signature candle scent with notes of amber, cedar leaf, lemon grass, tonka bean and medjool date in Brooklyn. They developed the formula to burn at a low-temperature so that once the candle melts, you can use the wax to give yourself a warm, hydrating massage.

Pro-tip: You don’t need a boo to reap the rewards of a massage candle. Prop your legs up onto a pillow or two, then give your feet and calves a gentle massage. If you hold tension in your shoulders from working at a computer all day, sensually drip the candle on your shoulder or collar bone and work your fingers over those knotty muscles.

Thanks to our good friends at Dame, everyday is a great day to have a vulva. Their water-resistant and three-charge finger vibrator, Fin, is the definition of self-care.

The toy is made of medical-grade silicone, a material that repels bacteria. It’s also waterproof, which means you can spruce up a regular old bath with an orgasm or two. To top it all off, Fin features 3 different settings to help you celebrate the weirdest Valentine’s Day of the century.

Made with cannabis cultivated to organic standards, Foria’s THC Pleasure Lube enhances pleasure and sensitivity — perfect for a candlelit night in with your trusty sex toys. Some people even say that they begin to feel the same psychoactive effects as smoking or vaping cannabis from using THC lube. If you live in California or Colorado where weed is legal for recreational use, you can find Foria’s THC lube at select dispensaries.

For folks outside of those two states, Foria also makes Awaken Arousal Oil with CBD ($48) that offers the same enhanced pleasure, without the loopy psychoactive effects of THC. Using either of these formulations can help soothe discomfort in intimate areas. Translation: you can get buck with adventurous positions and make your big o’s last even longer.
