Have you ever considered buying yourself a Valentine’s gift? No? We think it’s pretty brazen to spoil yourself on V-Day. C’mon, we know you think you’re pretty special, and if you don’t, well, you should. We’re not talking chocolate and flowers, either. To show how much we care about the most important person in your life – YOU – we’ve handpicked a selection of gifts you really must have.   Aimee Kestenberg Tote in Claret

The only thing better than a new pair of shoes is a new purse. Sling this one over your arm and feel like Carrie Bradshaw striding through the streets of New York. Warning: You probably won’t be able to choose just one of these Aimee Kestenberg bags (starting at $140), so you should probably invest in two right now. Start with one of her signature pieces in claret. Because it’s Valentine’s Day, so red, of course.     Hillberg & Berk Silver Heart Earrings
