If you absolutely have to participate in the overblown holiday that is Valentine’s Day, you have my sympathy. To provide you with support, here are a few things that are a design aficionado’s equivalent to a fluffy teddy bear and a shiny-red-heart-shaped mylar balloon, and are therefore entirely acceptable to give to someone you care about. A sappy/sentimental card is optional.

2. ‘Love Heart’ coffee mug by Vitra, $20.00
3. 3d-Printed Double-Layer Ring, $17.92
