Park 19 Cookies
We're going to cop to a major sugar addiction. When we tried these cookies at the office, they were gone in a flash. They're the perfect Valentine's Day indulgence, made from scratch and boasting creative flavors like chocolate-covered strawberry, red velvet, and cinnamon bun. If you're like us, you might want to order double so there are a few left over to actually give away!
Price: $17.99/dozen

McGowan & McClain Necklaces
We see a lot of jewelry in any given week, so when something catches our eye, you know it's something special. We're hoping someone gives us a McGowan & McClain necklace for Valentine's Day. The raw semiprecious stones are edgy, the organic lines sensual—a killer combo for a day celebrating love.
Price: $63–$375

Avarose Handbags
We think everything in life should be fun and funky—as well as functional. So for a Valentine's Day treat, ditch your ordinary makeup case for these from Avarose. We've already ordered Ollie the Owl for ourselves—we're into owls right now—and we know just the person for the blue perforated peace sign.

Aphrodite Vases
We discovered these vases at a little store in Montauk, and it was love at first sight. Appropriate considering they're called Aphrodite vases. So, we had to tell you about them for Valentine's Day. The vases come in a variety of shapes and sizes including deseo, prado and heart. We couldn't choose, so we bought them all!
Price: $30–$60

Chocri Chocolates
Sometimes, it seems like the office motto is: Will work for chocolate. And we were very excited editors the day we got to design our own custom chocolate bars from Chocri. On their website, you pick your base chocolate—milk, dark or white. We, of course, picked several of each—the things we do for you! Then, you choose from a wide variety of toppings including cappuccino chocolate drops, hazelnut brittle and even real gold flakes. We used roasted almonds, silver pearls and cinnamon cornflakes. Don't you wish you worked here?!
Price: $7–$10, on average
