If you want to spoil your partner for Valentine's Day, a smart way to go about it is to buy an investment item for your home. And I can offer no greater recommendation than Caraway's non-stick cookware sets. Most non-stick pots and pans are made with Teflon, which can release not-so-great chemicals into the environment once heated beyond 570°F. Caraway's 4-piece set has a mineral-based coating and is truly non-stick (I've tried it!). Their pieces are also beautifully designed and easy to store.
