You can’t miss with the Hermès’ “De tout coeur” scarf that has been designed by Zoé Pauwels. France Postal was inspired to turn some of the French luxury brand’s iconic scarves into stamps and Pauwels’s design was chosen to be featured in La Poste’s 2013 Valentine’s Day collection.
For the ladies… something cuddly with bling! The $30k Vermont Teddy Bear. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is offering a one of a kind teddy bear on sale for Valentine’s Day. The $30,000 teddy bear holds in his hands a six-carat diamond ring. This would make it one of the world’s most expensive teddy bears.
For the guys… something that sizzles! The $20K Kalamzoo Outdoor Grill. This grill, handmade in America, is loved by renowned chefs, including Rich Bayless and Wolfgang Puck. This is a “guy’s grill” – real power, real results, for real grilling. This is a super HOT gift that any guy will love.

On Valentine’s Day, have a romantic dinner at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry in Yountville, California.

Every year, the Michelin awarded chef creates a Valentine’s Day menu that’s memorable and romantic. The nine-course Chef’s tasting menu costs $270 per person.
Drive home the romance with a “Tiffany Blue” Bentley Continental GTC. Customized by O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills, this limited edition Bentley has been commissioned in Celeste Blue Pearlescent inspired by the classic Tiffany & Co. Blue. Costs around $299,000.
