For the Top Chef-level lover

Money can't buy happiness, but it just may earn you the lifelong affection of a loved one. Going for about $250, Staub's Cocotte cast iron costs a pretty penny, but we'd say it's well worth it. Usually priced at $357, the enamel Dutch oven withstands oven heat up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit and has a tight-fitting lid to keep food moist. Coming in cherry red or peony pink, the heart-shaped Cocotte is both quality cookware and a stylish server.

The flavor may be the most important part of a drink, but real mixologists know that presentation is everything.

A niche wine for your vino snob

Red wine will always be a classic V-Day gift, but don't just grab the first bottle you see. Hailing from Chile, a fairly under-the-radar international wine region, Casillero del Diablo's Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect for the oenophile always looking for underrated wine. Around $10-15, the medium-bodied wine features notes of plums, cherries, and coffee — all perfect for a hearty Valentine's Day dinner.

Charcuterie for your cutie

Creating charcuterie boards is an art, but before the cheeses, meats, and crackers are picked, it all starts with the platter. Target's $30 Marble Heart Cheese Board serves as a gorgeous setting for an elevated Galentine's or Valentine's Day charcuterie board. The deep black and brown veins that run along the board give it a striking look, but marble's penchant for preventing cheese from sticking will be the real draw for your Valentine.
