Gwyneth Paltrow recommends these Valentine's Day gifts to upgrade your home – and they're not flowers
Give the gifts of comfort and beauty this Valentine's Day with the Goop founder's design-led gift ideas that you've probably never seen before


Forget the cliche gifts; Listening is the most romantic thing you can do. This Valentine's Day, honor your home-obsessed loved ones with design-led presents that make the space more comforting and target common pain points. Gwyneth Paltrow has the perfect recommendations.
The actress and wellness guru is a known design lover, embodied by her celebrity home decor collection with CB2. In this year's Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Goop, she puts her design sensibilities to good use. The guide features several candles and home technology ranging from a fridge to a bed cover. All of these gifts will last much longer than flowers and chocolate, making your home a more romantic place.
Paltrow's recommendations are perfectly in line with current interior design trends. Megan Slack, Head of Celebrity style at Homes & Gardens explains: 'As the idea that our interiors should be a curated reflection of our personalities has grown more popular, design elements as candles have become more common as gifts. These items are a thoughtful reflection that you are paying attention to what someone wants in their home environment. Items like the Pod mattress cover that adjusts sleep temperature can have huge wellness impacts, improving both the look and experience of home.'
This palo santo, sandalwood, and clove candle smells deliciously woody and warming. A white matte vessel makes it double as decor.
If you sleep hot, The Pod is the holy grail. It includes dual climate control, to adjust the temperature for different people sleeping on the same bed. Its many features place it an innovative cut above the rest.
This stylish Love skateboard triptych by Robert Indiana would look so cool as part of a gallery wall. I love the combination of green and red here, and it would make a perfect gift for an art-lover in your life.
Spice up your love life and home scent with this candle that melts into massage oil. The plant-based material is moisturizing and smells amazing.
Infuse your home and your closet with woody fragrance in a stylish way with these Carrière Frères pallets. Cedar acts as a natural insect repellent, to ward off moths in your closet.
This brilliantly designed fridge has isolated temperature zones is ultra-quiet with a high-end compressor. A corresponding app lets you view what's in your fridge from anywhere.
Whether it's Valentine's Day, a birthday, or an anniversary, thoughtful home-centered gifts are a generous way to show your loved ones you're thinking of them. Paltrow's suggestions are the perfect place to start.
