Valentine’s Day gifts seen on TODAY with Jenna & Friends
French Home Laguiole Steak Knives (Set of 4)
French Home Laguiole Steak Knives (Set of 8)
Murphy calls these the prettiest steak knives she's ever seen. They feature ergonomic handles that are curved and weighted for a comfortable grip and serrated stainless steel blades that cut with ease — no matter how well done your steak is. Each knife features the iconic Laguiole bee insignia and triple-rivet design that references the town in Southern France where this type of utensil originates.
Lodge Heart Skillet
Make a heartfelt dish for the foodie in your life with this pre-seasoned cast iron skillet. The heart-shaped skillet is ideal for whipping up a giant brownie, gooey chocolate chip cookie, egg frittata, focaccia and more.
Funko Build Your Custom Pop
Murphy says her sons collect Funko Pops, which are vinyl figurines of characters from pop culture, movies and real life. And now, you can "Pop" yourself or a loved one! You can build your own avatars — picking characteristics like skin tones, hair colors and outfits — and add accessories based on hobbies and interests (and even pets!). Plus, they have a limited-edition Valentine’s Day accessories right now — everything from a box of chocolates to roses.
Monogrammary Valentine Velvet Clutch Bag
Looking for a finishing touch for your Valentine's Day outfit? This velvet clutch comes in pink or red, and you can personalize it with initials on the front as well as a special note inside up to 10 words. Murphy says she loves this small business owner and mom from Connecticut, who single-handedly fulfills the orders and will have Valentine’s Day delivery!
Anthropologie Monogram Heart Locket Necklace
Anthropologie Monogram Heart Charm Necklace
These charm and locket monogram necklaces are letter-perfect, Murphy gushes. To keep your loved one close to your heart, choose their first or last initial — or wear both together for a layered look!
Lego Roses Building Kit
Lego Bouquet of Roses Building Kit
Lego Love Sculpture Building Kit
For family time or date night, these themed Legos are a perfect activity to build together and then display in your home. You can create a small brick version of Robert Indiana’s famous pop art sculpture, which contains 791 pieces to keep everyone engaged for hours. For a shorter project of about 120 pieces, we also love these Lego flowers that will last forever, just like your love.
