Unless you live near the equator—or in the spookily warm Northeast quarter of the country—chances are, you are in the throes of winter. With the exception of Valentine’s Day, February can feel like the month that goes on for a hundred years, many of which are marked by darkness from 4pm onward. We all cope in different ways, but if you’re among the type that receives gratification from a bit of shopping, February is the ideal month to treat yourself.
