Embracing Valentines

What is happening? Didn’t we just put our Christmas decorations away!! Embrace yourself!! Valentines Day is right around the corner and we are busy picking out some great items for you to celebrate. Our selections could be something you purchase for yourself or gifts for family or friends. In keeping with the Christmas shopping traditions we uphold…the gift buying ratio should be 1:1. One for them, one for me!

The PJ Salvage pajamas and crew neck sweatshirt are lovely together and super cozy. We added the sweatshirt because the weather is still very cold and the pajamas have short sleeves. The price point for the PJ Salvage pajamas is moderate. Natori lingerie and sleepwear are classics and will last forever. Candles are a gift option that most people appreciate. These candles here, here and here will delight the senses. Walking into a well scented home is a pleasure we love!!

This piece by Socialite can be worn in so many ways. It can be used as lounge wear, bathing suit cover up or as a casual night out with a jean jacket, belt and sandals. The side pockets are a place to stash your lipstick.

L’Occitane is a go to destination when looking for Valentine gift ideas. L’Occitane products are high quality and loved by woman around world. The smell when you enter their store is enough to keep you coming back. We chose Rose Eau de Toilette and Fleurs de Cerisier as two of our favorite fragrance collections to consider for a Valentine gift. We actually purchased these for our daughters….act surprised girls!!!!!

We have a jewel of a store in downtown Birmingham, MI. The Italian Dish is a wonderful source for gifts, dinnerware, serving pieces and glassware. They have many unique home decor items. We were inspired by the Valentine vignette they displayed in their window. Please check their website at The Italian Dish for more gift ideas.

For the foodie in your life, a gift from American Spoon is always a great idea. This Michigan company has been in operation since 1982 and their small batch preparation of fruit preserves are the best. Bev and Val are really good customers, like really good……

Go to American Spoon for their Baked Brie with Sour Cherry Preserves Recipe- to die for. A holiday does not go by without Val purchasing something from them.

Just a quick note that the photographs we took of the flowers, we purchased at Trader Joe’s. Great price points and beautiful flowers.
