The UD SF Valentine’s Gift Guide

It’s getting down to the wire. But that doesn’t mean your only choices are flowers or cash (we’re looking at you, Sheen). In fact, what you’re about to read is going to set everything right with the world—so long as you do more than just read it...

Custom Jewelry in the Mission
FOR THE GOLD STAR

Custom Jewelry in the Mission

Jewelry: safe/boring, but effective. Less safe, however, when you find a local designer who can whip up a custom piece. Just don’t put the necklace in anything resembling a ring box.

FOR THE NO-CLOTHESHORSE

Lingerie from Alla Prima

Valentine’s is all about her, and that’s the way it should be. But there’s nothing wrong with getting something you’ll both enjoy—like some metal and lace Chanel unmentionables or the Italian-made deep-plunge, open-backed, black lace halter bodysuit. These are the choices...

The Four-Handed Massage at SenSpa

Edible Body Paint
FOR THE STARVING ARTIST

Edible Body Paint

Whipped cream can get a little messy. And while that might be part of the charm of bringing food into the bedroom, we’ve found something more creative. Behold: body paint in edible flavors like Strawberries and Champagne. But remember: face paint of any kind is bad.

Tokyo Milk Bubble Bath at BellJar
FOR THE CLEAN FREAK

Tokyo Milk Bubble Bath at BellJar

Champagne body paint aside, these blends of green tea extracts and avocado and olive oils allegedly feel like bathing in silk. We like the Gin and Rosewater No. 12 found in the Rose with Bees and Hawaiian Divers. In this case, mixing champagne and gin is advised.
