A crucial variation on the classic gold hoop. When worn, these stud earrings appear as tiny, complete circles resting on her earlobes. They come in gold, silver, and rose gold. She’ll rarely take them out.

Learning to Love You More
Learning to Love You More is a book full of ideas awaiting an artist. It started as a web site created by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Participants can submit their work for potential inclusion in one of the artists’ presentations, or they can put it in a lovely box and tuck it under their beds.

Powder Coated Ring
I bought one of these comfortable, unique rings for my husband when our son was born. It’s powder-coated stainless steel with a tiny suggestion of color on the outside, and a bright pop on the inside. Comes in nine flavors.

Red Cashmere Socks
Admittedly, you’ll need to know your audience with this gift. Would he consider a pair of impractical, bright cashmere socks a luxury he wouldn’t ordinarily afford himself? Does he pay attention to details when he dresses? Could you imagine him featured on a street fashion blog? All right, that’s our guy.
Otherwise, you’re just getting him socks for Valentine’s Day. Seriously? Socks?
