Say it with flowers
The number one choice of a real-life Cupid is nothing else than a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Whether your bouquet is full of colorful flowers or green branches, you can assemble them into a handmade Artek’s Midsummer Dream vase. The neutral-toned, ceramic vase sits in different interior styles and is, therefore, a safe gift for many design lovers.

Inspired by the northern nature, the Skandinavisk hand creams enchant with the calming scents and moisturize the skin dried out by a cold winter. Choose one of the lovely scents or grab them all – the Protect gift set contains five mini sizes. The richly moisturizing creams are made in Denmark with natural ingredients, and they come in charmingly decorated recyclable aluminum tubes.

Share a moment
Catching up and having a cup of coffee is the best activity on Valentine's Day – and of course every single day! The coffee table is decorated with attractive Marimekko’s Oiva Unikko Ralli mugs, which fascinatingly combine two of Maija Isola's patterns: the floral Unikko and the graphic Ralli. The gentle pastel color palette makes them even cuter.

Love for the office days
Make a coffee or tea drinker happy with their own, special thermo cup that reminds them of your friendship every day. With its pastel shade, the thermo mug by Design Letters is both a stylish yet useful accessory for the home office, on trips, or when commuting, and can be used with or without the lid.

For a four-legged friend
Your furry, loyal buddy cannot be forgotten on Valentine's Day! The Slow Feed bowl by PAIKKA is designed for dogs who tend to have problems with eating. The heart shape in the center of the bowl works both as a sweet expression as well as an important function: it slows down the eating by pushing food to the edges. On the other hand, the bowl makes eating more enjoyable for dogs who are not that interested in food.
