Valentine’s Day is not a big thing in our households, but we know many people who love to celebrate with a nice dinner out or a little (or big) gift that shows love and appreciation. And we know some of you like to gift your (young adult) kids a little something too, so we’ve got some ideas for you:
Things We Wouldn’t Mind Receiving:
- This tshirt from Mersea is so cute and can be worn year round! The pink version says ‘valentines’ but the white/navy is the one on Chrissie’s wish list!
- Chrissie loves this ‘spinner’ necklace that comes in different stone/’sign’ options, with the turquoise/aquarius and lapis/cancer being our favorites. At Present showcases designs from over 60 designers so you are bound to find something else if those specific necklaces aren’t your style! (If your budget is a bit larger this charm is pretty fab!).
- This 14k gold necklace with a ‘curved bar’ and this pave diamond heart necklace from Quince are both just under $150 and look terrific. For $399 this small solitaire diamond necklace is also great. Quince has also gotten into the very popular and growing world of lab-created diamonds – here are their offerings.
- Speaking of lab-created diamonds, Jo is loving these drop earrings from Dorsey . . . Dorsey is the leader in sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds, created in a controlled lab environment. Silver, Medium size would be nice!
- Goldbelly makes things so easy! Some food to keep in the freezer to save us from cooking would be a great gift. Great items (tested) include:
- Nancy Silverton’s Gelato Set: 9 perfect sized jars of an assortment of delicious flavors.
- Lobster Mac & Cheese: Straight from Maine with big chunks of lobster.
- Chicago Pizza: 4 pies to keep in the freezer!
