Valentine’s Day is often filled with gourmet boxes of assorted chocolates, fragrant bouquets of seasonal blossoms, and fancy candlelit dinners in hushed dining rooms. These are all beautiful ways to express your love and affection, but we believe this holiday also lends itself to so much more.
“At KNESKO, Valentine’s Day represents all kinds of love—including the romantic kind—but also friendship and self-love,” says Lejla Cas, co-founder of KNESKO. “It’s a day to embrace and nourish all sides of yourself and your relationships through playfulness, expressions of adoration, and intentional time.”
With that philosophy in mind, here are 5 ways you can celebrate Valentine’s Day the KNESKO way.
‘Favorite Things’ Party
A "Favorite Things" party is a heartfelt gathering designed to celebrate connection, joy, and the little treasures that bring happiness to our lives. The idea is simple: Each person chooses a favorite item—anything from a cherished skincare product to a tasty treat—making sure to bring enough so that everyone at the party receives one. The magic lies in the exchange. Everyone leaves with a curated collection of new favorites and a deeper sense of connection with those around them.

Vision Board Date Night
Spend Valentine’s Day harnessing positive energy and setting your sights on a fused future with a couples vision board session. Gather magazines, scissors, glue, and poster boards, and set the stage with soothing music and aromatic candles. (Alternatively, create a digital vision board) As you create, discuss your shared goals, aspirations, and dreams for the future.
Skincare Moment: Enhance the evening—and keep it on theme—by incorporating KNESKO’s gem-infused collagen eye masks. For the best value, opt for our Luxe Eye Mask Kit, which includes six sets.
Besties Dinner Party
A night in with your best friends spells F-U-N. Put all the finishing touches on your charcuterie board or butter board (or whip up a delicious meal), hit play on a mood-boosting playlist, and clink glasses filled with your favorite beverages. Let the evening linger on!
Skincare Moment: Break open KNESKO’s Luxe Face Mask Kit (or the Luxe Masking Klutch for larger groups) and have each guest take their pick.
Romantic Spa Night
Whether you’re coming up with a post-date game plan or simply want to keep this Valentine’s Day low key, you can't miss with an at-home spa night. It’s the perfect way to decompress, get intimate, and enjoy each other’s company.
Skincare Moment: For a cute mine and yours moment, take turns giving each other gentle face massages and then apply the luxurious Rose Quartz and Black Pearl collagen face masks. For an extra luxurious moment, follow up with a few drops of KNESKO’s silky, gem-infused serums.

Self-Love Celebration
There’s never a bad time to invest in yourself, but there’s something about Valentine’s Day that makes a little self-care feel especially appropo. Take some intentional time to invest in yourself, whether that means cracking open a good book, binging your favorite TV series, or meditating.
Skincare Moment: Put on a plush robe and tap into your heart chakra with KNESKO’s luxurious Rose Quartz Antioxidant Collagen Mask & Rose Quartz Gemstone Roller Discovery Kit, which includes a face mask, eye mask and gemstone roller.

Gemstone Intention Setting Circle
Gather a handful of your loved ones for a meaningful Valentine’s Day ritual centered around the healing power of gemstones. Provide a selection of gemstones, each symbolizing different energies. For example: love (rose quartz), spiritual protection (amethyst), luck and harmony (jade), and creativity (carnelian). Begin the circle with a moment of mindfulness, allowing each participant to choose a gemstone that resonates with their intentions. Share affirmations or personal goals while holding the stones, infusing them with positive energy.
Skincare Moment: To amplify the experience, pair the ritual with KNESKO gemstone-infused collagen masks or gem-infused serums for a luxurious touch that nourishes the skin while uplifting the spirit. The Serum Discovery Kit is another great way to introduce and discuss gemstones.
Valentine’s Day is a beautiful opportunity to slow down and celebrate love in all its forms—romantic, platonic, and self-love. By approaching the day with mindfulness and intention, you create meaningful moments that nourish the heart, body, and soul, leaving a lasting glow far beyond February 14th.
