This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday, the most romantic of all the days of the week! And by that, I mean Mondays are the best day to receive a little treat or pick-me-up from a friend or loved one. I’m definitely a gift person and I love it when a gift is a little luxury I wouldn’t buy for myself. Here are some ideas (some by local small businesses!) to give your special someone a little extra love.

For the Home Chef

Glazed stoneware serve board and a selection of cheeses or bon bons (locally made!)

Acacia wood footed bowl and some delicious fruit

Handcrafted, modern coasters and a bottle of wine

For the Mindful Meditative

Woodsy, clean scented candle (locally made!) and a fancy French soap bar

Cozy, chunky knit blanket and a good book

Stylish tea tumbler and some delicious tea (locally made!)

For the Passionate Gardener

Cute cement planter and a succulent (locally made!)

Adorable pale pink watering can and a bouquet of flowers

Wooden herb stripper and a little herb plant

For the Thinker & Doer

Handsome agate bookends and an interesting read

High quality German notebook and fancy mechanical pencil

Locally roasted coffee subscription and made-to-order mug (locally made!)

I hope you find something unique for that particular person, even if it’s something simple like spending a few moments together (and if you have kids, you know this is not really simple!). Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! XOXO
