The Sober Curator’s Valentine’s Sober Gift Guide

The Sober Curator’s Valentine’s Gift Guide
Share
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

Or: If You’re Single, This Is Your Sign to Buy Yourself Everything

Valentine’s Day has a way of showing up like an unsolicited group text. Loud. Pink. Slightly aggressive. And very invested in whether or not you have “someone special.”

Here’s the thing: you are the someone special.
No RSVP required. No last-minute reservations. No pretending you like prix fixe menus.

This guide is for the lovers, the situationships, the happily single, the sober, the sober-curious, and anyone who believes self-gifting is a legitimate love language. Buy one thing. Buy five things. Buy all the things. Cupid can mind his business.

Let’s shop. 💌


💥 Lola x Aviator Nation Lightning Bolt Blanket

Netflix. Chill. Repeat.

If wrapping yourself in a cloud that looks like it listens to Fleetwood Mac sounds appealing, welcome home. These blankets are fluffy, oversized, and deeply committed to your comfort. Perfect for couch dates, solo movie marathons, or dramatically staring out a window while romanticizing your life.

Pro tip: Shop on the Lola site, not Aviator Nation, and sign up as a new customer to save 35%. Gold and cream are already gone, which honestly feels like a metaphor.

This is not a blanket.
This is emotional support with faux fur.


🔒 Marc Jacobs Heart Handcuff Necklace

Romance, but make it rebellious.

This necklace is doing a lot, and that’s why we love her. Interlocking heart handcuffs engraved with “TIED TO YOU FOREVER” feels equal parts Valentine’s Day and don’t-tell-me-what-to-do energy.

Yes, the cuffs are bigger than you think.
Yes, I said what I said. #thatswhatshesaid

There are matching earrings and bracelets if you’d like to fully commit to being tied to… yourself.

#ADDTOCART you sober badass. Sober Curator Pro Tip: This necklace would pair perfectly with a sassy t-shirt from Hope Junkie or Clean AF Apparel. #imnotwrong


👟 Nike Air Force 1 ’07 “Valentine’s Day”

Classic sneakers. Unhinged details.

These are timeless, comfortable, and casually dropping shoe charms like it’s no big deal. Court to coffee to casually reminding everyone you have great taste.

If Valentine’s Day were a shoe, it would want to be this one. #ADDTOCART


🦨 Bad Attitude Skunk Slouchy Knit

Fashion, but with boundaries.

This sweater is oversized, chunky, plush, and clearly not here to be touched. “Bad Attitude” on the front. “Don’t touch me, thanks!” on the back. Honestly? A public service announcement. #ADDTOCART

Perfect for:

  • Anti-Valentine vibes
  • Cozy defiance
  • Anyone who prefers their affection consensual and scheduled

❤️ LEGO Heart Ornament

Therapy, but make it plastic bricks.

Who says Valentine’s gifts have to be diamonds? This customizable LEGO heart is creative, calming, and wildly satisfying. Hang it. Build it. Rebuild it. Change it with the seasons. It’s basically commitment without the pressure. #ADDTOCART


🥿 Comfy House Memory Foam Slippers

Because romance starts with foot support.

Plush lining. Memory foam. Indoor-outdoor potential. These slippers understand that love should be soft, supportive, and not slippery on hardwood floors.

You’ll never look at your shoes by the door the same way again. #ADDTOCART


📎 Mead Trapper Keeper (Retro Edition)

Nothing says “I love you” like organization.

If you grew up in the golden age of Lisa Frank and chaos, this is your moment. Bold colors. Velcro closure. Folders inside folders. It’s nostalgia with a productivity kink. #ADDTOCART

Honestly? Hot.


🍓 Grüns Super Greens Gummies

Self-care that tastes like candy.

I’ve been taking these for six months and look forward to them every single morning. Hair? Thicker. Nails? Stronger. Gut? Minded. Regular? Yes. TMI? Also yes.

If Valentine’s Day is about loving your body, start with gummies that actually do something. #ADDTOCART and thank me later (in about 60 days, results vary)


🍹 Lyre’s Ready-to-Drink Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

Big aperitivo energy. Zero regrets.

These aren’t “sad replacement drinks.” These are real cocktails that just happen to skip the giggle juice. Perfect for parties, solo nights in, awkward work events, or anytime you want to sip without explaining yourself.

Raise a can. Smile. Say nothing. Read more HERE.


🐶 Jelly Balloon Dog Keychain

Charm school, but make it fun.

Charms are having a moment, and this one is playful, glossy, and ridiculously cute. Clip it on your bag, keys, shoes, hoodie, or emotional support water bottle. #ADDTOCART

Small joy. Big personality.


📸 Kodak Charm Camera Keychain

A camera. A charm. A lifestyle choice.

Yes, it takes photos. Yes, it records video. Yes, it also looks incredible dangling from your purse like you’re a mysterious person with hobbies. #ADDTOCART and add to the party!

Blind box energy. Retro vibes. Zero regrets.


💎 Rhinestone Radio Tape Clutch

Main character accessories only.

This bag is sparkly, weird, and perfect. Surprisingly well-made and doubles as décor when it’s not stealing the show at a party. If Valentine’s Day were an object, it would want to live inside this purse. #ADDTOCART you retro Queen!


🚬Curb your cravings this winter.

Vapes, cigs, pouches—whatever’s got you hooked, Jones will help you quit or cut back in style with their brand new Alpine Tin. #ADDTOCART Quitting never looked so cool.


Final Thought 💘

Valentine’s Day doesn’t get to decide your worth, your plans, or your shopping cart. If you’re single, partnered, complicated, sober, curious, or just here for the vibes, this is your permission slip to romance yourself.

Buy the blanket.
Wear the necklace.
Drink the fancy NA cocktail.
Build the LEGO heart.
Spoil yourself like you mean it.

Because the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one with you.
And frankly? You deserve nice things. 💖
