The Most Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Gifts Ever

The Most Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Gifts Ever

Most women I’ve polled just send their husband’s or partner’s a link for Valentine’s Day of what to buy them. Can we not expect better of our beloved?  Let them work! Here are some hints for each kinda person, although I sort of feel like I fit under nearly all of these categories, so if my husband is reading this – he can feel free to purchase one of each!

THEY LOVE TO COOK

When Melissa Ben-Ishay, the co-founder and CEO of bite-size cupcake empire Baked by Melissa, posted her vegan Green Goddess Salad on TikTok, it became a viral sensation. The recipe exploded online, gaining over 25 million views, landing Melissa on the TODAY Show, and inspiring fans like Cardi B and Lizzo to make their own version of the salad.  I made it and couldn’t believe how much it was worth the hype. I am not a recipe person, and yet everything I made of Melissa’s has been a keeper and a huge win. Her new cookbook just came out, and everyone I know wants it.

Come Hungry: Salads, Meals, and Sweets for People Who Live to Eat by Melissa Ben-Ishay, $24 @amazon.com

A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May’s story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.
