Getting creative with clever Valentine's Day gift baskets are a fun option, or to keep it even more simple, a luxury gift that won't break the bank is sure to be a hit.

Nordstrom made it simple for us this February by compiling its favorite Valentine's Day Gifts and it's full of small luxuries from Chanel to Kate Spade. No chocolates or flowers on this list—these are our top luxurious Valentine's Day gifts for under $50.
