With February 14th quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to do a little gift guide for the big lovey-dovey day. By no means do these gifts have to be only for significant others… take the opportunity to give a little treat to a family member, a friend, or a colleague! Dan and I have never really celebrated the hallmark valentine’s day (the only present I can remember was the year he got me a headlamp from Mountain Equipment Co-op — very handy!), but we do use it as a reminder to do something nice and show appreciation for our loved ones. Alright, I’ll stop blabbing and get to the fun stuff…

We’ll start it off with this totally darling earrings.

I’m really digging this natural linen pillow case. If you’re not into the “xoxo”, there are lots of other designs available.

I love these retro-inspired wall signs. This one would be particularly good for my grits-loving, southern belle of a mother in law.

If you really want to get into v-day this year, why not make this pretty heart garland? You can find the tutorial over on How About Orange.

Bisous, bisous, mes amis!
