If you or your Valentine like a little luxury every now and again, Nopalera is the absolute move.

Moon Juice is a wellness brand known for its plant-based blends designed to support everything from your mood to your outer glow.

Raising the Bar

Not everyone drinks. So this Valentine’s Day, give the gift of delicious non-alcoholic bevs. Founded by Abbie and Devin Romanul, this brand was born from the belief that everyone deserves a good drink. After Abbie quit alcohol and found the zero-proof options lacking, the duo set out to make non-alcoholic mixology feel elevated, inclusive, and fun. With thoughtfully curated ingredients, recipes, and tools, Raising the Bar takes the guesswork out of crafting sophisticated zero-proof cocktails, making sure everyone has a seat at the table and a great drink in hand.
