Gift of the Day: Date-Night Roses That Won’t Wilt

I can’t tell you exactly how long I’ve waited for these Y/Project earrings to go on sale, but I do know that it’s been many months, and that as soon as I laid eyes on them, I knew they had to be mine. (For a slightly less steep price.) I fantasized about wearing these Y/Project earrings to a romantic, candlelit dinner one night — wink, wink— and hopefully upstaging whatever real flowers my date may or may not have procured for me. When they finally arrived this month from Ssense, (at a cool 34 percent off), I was thrilled to learn that, despite being the size of an actual corsage, they were lightweight and didn’t hit my face in an awkward way. In fact, they are the perfect gift for yourself — or someone you love. And the best part is that they will never wilt.

Unfortunately, they’re now sold out on Ssense. (My bad!) But they’re still available for purchase directly on the Y/Project website.
