Ladies & Gents — It’s the month of love and Valentine’s Day is approaching soon ♡ with that in mind let’s take a minute to explore ways to make the day as special as your sweetheart while basking in the greatness of the 21st century technology. As a millennial, I always love incorporating new and unique ways to traditional ways. Below you’ll find a list of the millennial approach to some of the most traditional Valentine’s Day gifts!

PRO TIP: Stay ahead of the game and treat your sweetheart to something in the morning so they start the day off with that tone of love you want — and I’ll bet they’ll do something extra special for you at night.

Treat your sweetheart to something forever lasting like these:

➀ With You lockets & accessories!

If you’re the extravagant type get one of these stylish lockets, which makes for the most meaningful accessory one can wear. Personalize it with a photo or message! One of the things I love most about With You is that they’ve taken traditional pieces and upgraded them with unique details

When I gifted these to my sweetheart — I never expected this out of him:

The best mochis I’ve ever eaten! … You can quote me on that.

—  Jeff Fransen

These Mochidokis come in a variety of specialty flavors and even heart-shaped ones for Valentine’s Day. I love the sets of flavors they have curated and truly never tasted anything like this! If your significant other loves the vanilla berry flavor then I really recommend the Raspberry White Chocolate Crunch, which also comes in the Love at First Bite set. BEST OF ALL — these are also great people who are health conscious with all natural flavors and they even offer gluten-free options!
