Hello, love! We are living in a material world and we wanted to offer some (totally unsolicited, somewhat last-minute) gifting advice. Take it or leave it. But trust us, if you “take it” you’ll score points with someone very special. Even if that special someone’s you. Between now and Valentine’s Day you can shop our V-Day edit online or drop by your local Standard for a bit of retail therapy. Here are some of our picks to win the day:
Get out of the friends-with-benefits zone with a present that suggests something…more. Roll the dice with a literal set of Standard dice (in a chic velvet bag) or level up with an iconic Lip Ashtray. Perhaps our Planet Astrology Deck will reveal romance in your future. You might even play it cool with a casual trip to Miami Beach, to take things to the next level.
Everybody makes mistakes…Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to clear the air. Our Holy Ficus and Spirit Lamp candles by D.S. + Durga fit the bill. So does our fan-favorite Take Home Spa Candle, which adds an aura of harmony to any home. If you’re really in their bad books, go really big with an international getaway—to Ibiza, Hua Hin or The Maldives. You’ll earn your way back to their good graces, believe us.
Whether you need to re-light a fire or keep one burning, we’ve got the goods. What you do with our Bonam Kim x The Standard candles is your business, but we urge you to drip wax responsibly. Slink into a slip dress when the mood strikes and stock up on lube by Goodparts and body oil from The Standard Spa. Also, ponder a staycation at The Standard, High Line…big tub, high floor, epic views. Create your own cinematic romp?
If you’re out of a relationship (or situationship) and looking for a Solo-tine’s Day, shop robes and get pampering. Burn a lil incense slide into slippers by L’Essential and kick back in a face mask. There’s no wrong way to love yourself on Valentine’s Day, just use your imagination. And think about a solo jaunt to The Standard, London, where you're bound to meet some fab new friends.
