A Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for the Al B. Sure or Luenell in Your Life
Because if you're gonna take one in the chest, it might as well be from Cupid.
Roses and cards are cool and all, but with Valentine’s Day *counts on fingers* five days away, now’s the opportune time to switch things up. So, in the spirit of comedian Luenell and R&B icon Al B. Sure—who broke the internet recently when they hard-launched their blossoming romance—I’m here to help you do exactly that.
You’re welcome in advance.
A Dozen Rosés
No, no, no. Read that again.
Not roses—rosés. As in the delicious pink wine, not the flowers that make women swoon and coo.
Rosés!
And there are 12 of them included in this Alcoholics Anonymous-approved bouquet of mini bottles “from up and down the coast of California.” So whether you’re looking for something to sip on the next time you Netflix and chill, or wanna magically transform date night into an elaborate wine tasting, the fine folks at In Good Taste got you.
Like I said: I’m here to help.
Teufel x Fender ROCKSTER GO 2
Oh, yes.
JBL and I go together real bad, but this Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2 is the first speaker to throw our marriage into complete turmoil—because I’ve been cheating like a mofo.
I’ll be the first to admit this isn’t the loudest speaker, but for its size and price range, it’s a top-tier option for those of us who can’t go a day without running up Spotify streams. Aside from being sexy as shit, it’s waterproof (pool party approved), the bass is no joke, and its insane battery life ensures your car will die before this speaker does.
Snatch this up for that special someone in your life immediately.
A Year of Date Nights Idea Jar
Are things getting stale in your love life? Getting sick of taking your dates to McDonald’s? Well, have I got the gift for you!
Since there’s much more to life than French fries and Big Macs, this jar is brimming with all types of prompts to elevate your date nights for an entire year. And I won’t spoil what each activity is, but my personal fav is the one that says “Give Jay Money.”
Billie Gene Body’s Body Oil
The only thing I hate more than being ashy is Donald Trump.
And as someone who made the religious conversion from lotions to body oils many moons ago, I can attest to their supernatural ability to keep my elbows, toe knuckles, and the rest of my melanated being well moisturized.
That said, celebrity makeup artist-turned-beauty founder Billie Gene Body has unveiled a new line of body oils that are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and paraben-free. That means sex appeal with no preservatives!
Go forth and receive your blessing.
The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release
Good things come to those who wait, and there’s no better example of that than The Macallan, who waited 55 years to hit us in the head with their latest and greatest.
This price tag is definitely not for the weak, so make sure you and your boo thang at least hold hands in public before you spend your rent money on one of the best whiskies on the market.
The Levi Fisher Beard Bundle
Look at your beard, bro.
Before your boo thang files assault charges for all those friction burns you’ve been giving them, why not correct course and get that matted mess on your face right?
The Levi Fisher Beard Bundle is all the salvation you need. It includes a foaming beard wash, a 2-in-1 grooming spray, beard detangling lotion, and beard butter so you can stop embarrassing your ancestors in public and finally look like you don’t sleep in an alley.
‘Kiss Me’ Sherpa Hoodie
TODAY contributor Jill Martin is kind of a big deal, so it should come as no surprise that her line of elevated loungewear lives up to her name.
This self-proclaimed “best hoodie in the world” comes in seven different sizes and three different colors, offering a cozy option for the crib or the streets. Additionally, it can be customized with names or initials to personally ensure it’s “stitched with love.”
Cincha Travel’s The Bigger Bag Buddy
Y’all really thought I wouldn’t recommend Black-owned businesses during Black History Month? LOL
From bags, organizers, and beyond, Oakland-based Cincha is killing it in the travel space. So much so that I had a hard time trying to decide which single product of theirs to recommend. But after rolling the dice, I’m going with something we all can use: their Bigger Bag Buddy.
Coming in an assortment of colors and designs, the Bigger Bag Buddy is the perfect accessory for those of us on Team Carry-On who stay on the go. Instead of fumbling through your luggage for your passport, just keep that and everything else that’s essential to your trip looking fly and easily accessible.
