Valentine's Day Offerings from Kiehl's

In honor of my least fave holiday, Valentine's Day, Kiehl’s is presenting a number of alternatives to the hackneyed, yet traditional flowers/chocolates scenario. I firmly believe it should be the spirit of love that motivates a dude to spoil me and not the mandate of Hallmark. But know what? The mandate of Kiehl's sounds FINE to me! Why not a box of nourishing lip glosses, or sweetly flavored lip balm? Or, how about a relaunched Kiehl’s fragrance favorite, that’s suitable for ladies and gents?
