Valentine’s Day is fun, but this week the Cut is celebrating self-love: We’re indulging our all whims, desires, and worst impulses. Join us for five days of ME ME ME ME ME.

Do you need a reason to give yourself something? No. You are your own cozy, cashmere-swathed ruler, sipping tea from your aesthetically pleasing teapot, eating tiny scoops of ice cream from your exquisite golden spoon as you loll on your couch slathered in creamy anti-aging potions of questionable efficacy. Click through our slideshow for the best gifts to give yourself — and prepare to get out your credit card.

Sweatpants Nicer Than Your Nice Pants Whether you're headed to the gym or parked in front of the TV, these T by Alexander Wang track pants will make you feel slimmer and more athletic.

Orgasmic Slippers Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a penis inside a vagina? That's what your feet will be thinking when they are inside these slippers.

Portion-Control Spoon Practical and sleek, HAY's golden spoon is a luxe tool to keep in your kitchen — say, for measuring out several tiny scoops of ice cream straight from the container and into your mouth.
Transparent Teapot You can literally watch the tea brew in this glass teapot by CB2. Relaxxxxxxxzzzzzzzzing.
Comfortable But Pretty Underwear To wear under your new, non-shameful bathrobe.
Fancy Sheets No One Will Ruin Thanks to single-ply, single-pick construction, Brooklinen's classic cotton percale sheet set and duvet cover ... Fancy Sheets No One Will Ruin Thanks to single-ply, single-pick construction, Brooklinen's classic cotton percale sheet set and duvet cover always feels like the cool side of the pillow. 
Unsexy-But-You-Love-It Turtleneck We'd all wear turtlenecks all the time if no one were watching. 
A Hot-Water Bottle That Gets You It even has a cashmere turtleneck chicer than yours.
Plain Gray Throw Super warm and cozy, this H&M blanket is just the thing that seals the shut-in deal.
Cashmere Hoodie What even is cotton?
Diet Mittens Good for cold, windy days — and also for making it impossible to punch numbers into your phone, thus preventing you from ordering ta... Diet Mittens Good for cold, windy days — and also for making it impossible to punch numbers into your phone, thus preventing you from ordering takeout one more time.
Cliché (But Great) Home-Spa Makings It's the oldest lady-mag trick in the book, but it feels very good to nest and pretend you are in a sp... Cliché (But Great) Home-Spa Makings It's the oldest lady-mag trick in the book, but it feels very good to nest and pretend you are in a spa. Estée Lauder's Sculpting and Refinishing Serum and La Prairie's Sleep Mask replenish and moisturize your skin all day and night. Smith & Cult's nail polish is easy to apply if you get too drunk and have a hard time applying the polish to your opposite hand. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's eau de parfum smells like a rich lady's dresser drawer, and Byredo's 1996 Scented Candle, with hints of vanilla, will make you feel suitably bohemian.
Pillow That Resembles a Small Pet It's so much better, though, because it doesn't poop or need to be walked.
Because really chic winter coats are never warm enough. This layer is just for you.
