Forget flowers, if you’re going to observe V-day then there is only one obvious gift idea: his and hers Doc Martens.

Come on, how awesome would that be! You can stomp on scenesters, keep your walking sticks dry and look generally awersome.. like there’s even a choice to be made.  If you’re going to fall for this Hallmark holiday, you may as well get something that’s actually awesome and capable of long term use.

demiCouture picks (sale prices reflected): patent red tartan ($92), pepto pink ($92), patent red croc ($92), vintage rub-off leather ($100) and the super fun red pascal ($88).
