VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS FOR HIM & HER

I know this is slightly controversial.. but I happen to really like Valentine’s Day. And not just because I’m in a relationship. In fact, among some of my favorite Valentine’s Days memories were the ones spent with my best girl friends, drinking cheap beer and crafting homemade cards for each other. These days, Adam and I usually make dinner at home or go on a little adventure together somewhere in the city. As far as gifts go, if we do exchange I try to keep it small and sentimental – like a framed piece of artwork that reminds me of a shared memory (the one pictured above is from Minted which has an amazing selection, save 15% off their entire fine art selection with code VALENTINE16) or a vintage record to add to our collection. If you’re in need of a few more ideas.. for her, nothing beats pretty lace or a bit of sparkle and for him, luggage tags to prep for an upcoming trip or classic sunglasses are no-fail. And if you’re not shopping for someone in particular? How about you #treatyoself – because whether you are for or against the holiday, everyone could use a little extra love in the middle of winter, right?

As we move from Thanksgiving into the true holiday season, I’m feeling extra thankful for all the big and little blessings I’ve got in my life. From life in New York to having Adam as my partner in this venture (and life), traveling the world, my friends, family and career.. and of course you all! Whether you’ve followed from the beginning or just stop in from time to time – this little corner of the internet means the world to me. So thank you. And one of my favorite way to say thanks to those that are near and dear to me is by finding them a perfectly fitting present.

Whether you’re looking for a cute under $25 gift for a co-worker, a new it-bag for your ‘she’s already got everything’ sister, a pop of preppy plaid for your always chic best friend or something to pamper your hard-working mama – it’s all here. Hover over the images above to shop or scroll down to browse by section. I’m doing all my homework (and adding to cart) this weekend so that I can be ready to hit ‘buy’ when Black Friday and Cyber Monday roll around (I’ll be your source for all those can’t miss sales too).
