Universally associated with love, passion, warmth and desire, the color red is also the most dominant hue.
“Because it has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum,” said Karen Haller, an expert in color psychology in Graafschap, “we see red in front of other colors; it is what we first notice.”
So presenting someone with a gift that is red can create a special experience. “Because it is an unforgettable, striking color that is striking, you are more likely to remember that piece, the person who gave it to you and the memory of receiving,” noted Mrs. Haller, the author of “The Little Book in color.
And is the pleasure of the recipient not the true object of giving gifts?
With that in mind, here are eight red -oriented items that may be remarkable, unexpected gifts for this Valentine’s Day or perhaps another pending opportunity.
Aromatherapy For an olfactory experience that is matched by a visual, there is the Tubéreuse (Tuberoos) candle By Diptyque Paris. A tribute to the fragrant white flower that is grown in South India, the candle radiates the intense but fresh floral scents of Jasmijn and Gardenia, with a soft touch of fruity, milky tones. The wax in the 10.6-essence medium version of the candle ($ 115) is the perfect red tint, just like the hand-blown glass container. If you prefer white wax, a porcelain ship and three reading, go for the 21.2-essence large version ($ 230) or spent it with the 51.3-essence extra large size ($ 430) in A terra-cotta holder. Once the candle is burned, the smaller ships can be used for trash and the larger can double as plant holders.
I notice you Who does not need small protection – or much? It can be found in a fashionable bracelet that is deliberately made to ward off negative or toxic energy. Corbin Chamberlin, a healer and the owner of Sage & Salt, has designed a brand Crystal and Wellness in Sedona, Ariz., Hand -cut crystalamulets With a malignant eye motif ($ 280). Aquamarine is used to create the student, obsidian for the iris and a clear quartz for the rest of the eye. The stones are all cleaned, he said, in a multipart ritual, blessed and loaded in a vortex at his house. The eye design is encapsulated in sterling silver and strung on a red cord to encourage energy, strength and strength.
The weight The elephant has long symbolized wisdom, strength and happiness. Why not invite luck in a house or office with the small but powerful Van Hermès elephant paper ($ 610). Made from Hand-Gestak wood in a terra-cotta color, and inspired by the elephants of Laos, this five-inch long mammal silently shouts tight refinement with its deliberately designed contours and curves.
The icing at the top So you don’t lose a handbag or anything else, try a imaginative fruit-forward holder for Apple Airtags, made by the Australian Luxury Leather Company Maison de Sabré. The Sabrémoji fruit charms come in various forms, but The cherry version ($ 75) has two compartments with zipper: one by an airtag and an extra for pills, earrings and the like. Or if your receiver has a favorite destination such as Singapore or London, choose the red version of A city bell ($ 69). Entended from off-cuts from the characteristic full-grain leather of the brand, these charms with special edition can easily cut to almost everything, from a sports bag to a key ring.
Have you covered For the travel lover, Louis Vuitton’s passport cover ($ 445) Perhaps a welcome surprise. The characteristic monogram design of the brand on coated canvas is brightened up by the so -called Sari Rode Trim, a precursor of the red -oriented interior, which has a small bag and four cracks for credit cards, hotel room keys or business cards and two larger bags and two larger bags for money or Papers, and of course a passport.
Crystal, but not clear Fresh flowers last a week, if you’re lucky. A vase, especially a crystal made by a French luxury house, is forever. Which causes Baccarat’s red eye vases, offered in an oval form ($ 690) slightly less than six centimeters long or a rectangular shape ($ 950) at almost eight centimeters high. The wavy but sharp crispy design of the crystal, by Nicolas Triboulot, is made using exterior horizontal cuts combined with interior vertical. The result is a cleverly shivered two -tone effect of red interior and a clear exterior.
Love Notes Smythson, the Heritage Leather Goods House founded in 1887 in London, has long offered lined learning notebooks in Scarlet Red. But they are made up -to -date by the witty or whimsical formulation in relief on their blankets, such as “The boss” ($ 69), “Wonder Woman” ($ 160) or “Inspirations and ideas” ($ 90). Or you could just go with the Portobello notes ($ 355), but make sure you write something inside before you wrap.
Say it with words and warmth Win everyone with a little warmth with an adapted luxury cashmere jersey or sweatshirt in red by Lingua Franca. The brand, founded by Rachelle J. Hruska Macpherson, has become known for its brutal, feel-good quotes and passionate rally cries, which are hand-embroidered on sweaters ($ 320- $ 380) and sweatshirts ($ 150- $ 175) For women and men. The sizes for children and pre-blown versions are also available ($ 125- $ 160). Stay focused on Valentine’s Day with “Love to love you, honey” or “Everything you need is love.” Custom orders are also accepted. Or you could go A classic heart and arrow And the first sewn from your recipient together with your own.
