When you think of Valentine's Day, three things usually come to mind: love, chocolate and, of course, roses. While roses are a classic gift, the flowers only last so long, and some might argue that a bouquet of red is just a bit cheesy and overdone.
If you do want to give your special someone something rose-related, or even treat yourself, there are tons of rose products on the market. From rose-scented creams and candles to items that have rose oil or petals in them, the options span skin care to food and drink.
To make your Valentine's Day shopping a breeze, lifestyle expert Kathy Buccio stopped by the 3rd hour of TODAY to share her favorite rose-themed products. Keep reading to shop bath soaks, chocolate, tea and more.

Homesick Candles
If you want to fully embrace the rose theme, a scented candle is a must. Homesick has a handful of candles that have notes of rose, such as Bride’s Bouquet, which combines the scents of rose, jasmine and eucalyptus. Another option is Love Letters, which smells of rose petals, jasmine, sandalwood and peony. Their candle Wildflowers has a more subtle rose scent in addition to notes of geranium and lavender.
