With Valentine’s Day a week away, you’re officially a procrastinator. Sure, a last-minute box of chocolates and roses make fine gifts, but there are some alternatives that are far more thoughtful.

Read on for Michelle Obama–approved jewelry, luxe robes, and more — all which will arrive perfectly in time (or even early!).
These silver-and-gold-plated hoops from Bychari, a brand approved by Oprah and Michelle Obama, come in multiple sizes for lightweight layering, or you can channel Sade with a singular pair. We suggest the large hoops, which are just over two inches.
