Feeling generous this February 14th? Take a gander at our list of splurge-worthy Valentine’s Day gifts. From Kardashian-favorite floral arrangements to a high-tech pilates reformer machine, there’s something worth paying top dollar for — especially if it’s for the love of your freakin’ life!

While we’ve already compiled a guide of standout items to bestow upon your beloved this V-day, we highly encourage you to consider gifting a real knock-out gift, for a couple of reasons.

It’s a universal understanding that luxury items elicit a certain oo-ah response, solely because they’re high-end items. But oftentimes, expensive products are splurges for a reason. They tend to be of higher quality, uniquely designed or one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find anywhere else. Also, instead of gifting a bunch of smaller, less pricey items, it might befit both you and your gift recipient to spring for one premium good you know they’ll get tons of use out of.

So without further ado, the 12 best splurge-worthy items to gift this Valentine’s Day. You can also browse more Valentine’s Day gifts for women and men, plus lingerie picks and the best places to order flowers this holiday.
