Love it or loathe it, Valentine’s Day is upon us. For all the hearts and hyperbole, it’s really just an excuse to spend time with loved ones and indulge in things that are pretty, comforting and faintly indulgent — and we’re very much on board.

That’s why I decided to make this edit a love letter to beautiful objects: the sort of ‘Valentineware’ that makes a gorgeous gift or a dreamy embellishment when hosting pals or partners. Nothing here is overly earnest or prescriptive — just pieces I genuinely adore, all with a rosy, romantic twist in those loved-up hues of red and pink.
