10. Romance isn’t always practical, which is precisely why it’s romantic. But as married couples know, an enduring romance requires those little Valentine cherubs and cupids to flutter down to earth from time to time, if only to put some clothes on. A bedroom vanity is a thoughtful gift that’s both romantic and practical. Like true love, it’s a gift that lasts.

9. Unlike your morning commute, home bathrooms do not have a passing lane. With his-and-her bathrooms, that’s something you can work around. But once kids are in the picture: traffic jam. A three-piece bedroom vanity set—stool, vanity, and mirror—gives her the time and space she needs to prepare for work or evenings out. 8. Wooden gifts are the traditional choice for a fifth wedding anniversary. If your fifth anniversary or Valentine’s Day is coming up, make it a memorable one with the gift of one of our wood bedroom vanity sets. Wood gifts symbolize the strength, stability, and solidity of a lasting relationship—values that are beautifully expressed by hardwood vanity finishes such as cherry and oak. 7. Because a bedroom vanity mirror is the perfect furnishing for your fairy tale roleplaying hobby. While your wife’s away, you can talk to the magic mirror and interrogate and dismember gingerbread cookies like Lord Farquaad. Then when she asks, “Why are there crumbs on my compact?” you can always say, “It was the kids, honey.” But seriously: she’s your princess, and every princess needs a mirror. |

6. Bathroom cabinets have a tendency to become overstuffed with personal items: everything from toothpaste to tweezers to talcum powder. A makeup vanity with multiple drawers would give her a spacious, easily organized storage area that’s dedicated exclusively to her stuff. After a long day, she’ll appreciate the chance to sit down on a vanity stool while preparing for bed.
5. Because chocolates are for Gumps. Gifts that involve some creative thought always have a little something more to offer: that intangible value of love’s labors. If interior decorating or furniture style is one of your wife’s interests, choosing a creative combination of separate but complementary furnishings—for example, a wood dressing table, traditional vanity stool, and antique vanity mirror—is a gift that’s sure to impress.
4. Jewelry may be the most traditional of gifts, but elegant as it is, it’s never quite as personal as something that’s a part of daily life. While the jewelry it contains finds occasional use, your wife’s bedroom vanity table will impart charm and beauty to each day and night.

3. Unlike rings or earrings, you’ll never need to fish a bedroom vanity out of the bathroom sink. The bedroom vanities and dressing tables at SimplyVanities.com are hassle-free in other ways too. If you’re seeking a great last-minute gift, our Quick Ship Shop offers fast, low-cost—sometimes even free!—shipping on gorgeous bedroom furniture gifts for her. 2. Because bedroom vanities are sensual. The history of Western art is filled with paintings depicting women (and Venus, goddess of love and beauty) sitting, standing, or reclining—often naked—before a vanity mirror: The Rokeby Venus by Diego Velazquez, Peter Paul Rubens’ Venus at the Mirror, or the paintings of American Impressionist Richard Edward Miller. While you’re at it, maybe you should buy a canvas… 1. Because you love her. So much about romantic gifts—particularly Valentine’s Day gifts for her—has become cliched. As the TV show Portlandia has shown us, “put a bird on it” doesn’t make it art. Likewise, “put a heart on it” doesn’t make something a romantic Valentine’s gift. Traditional yet heartfelt, the gift of a bedroom vanity set is a classic way to say, “I love you.” |
