7 Valentine's Day gifts

Valentine's Day is just over a week away, so if you're looking for some treats, here are seven ideas...Silk flowers to look pretty on a desk all year, $20 to $24.
Wildflower candle to make your home smell like spring, $30.
Heart cheese that tastes like buttery Brie, $15.99. (They also have chocolate cheese!)
X-O temporary tattoo, $5.30, or sparkly heart temporary tattoo, $5, to wear all day.
Sexy silk lingerie, $130.
Love-etched bottle to use for water every night (or lemonade in the summer). $24.
Morse code necklace or bracelet, saying "amore" or "love," $80.

P.S. A kissing tip from Joan Rivers, and the #1 trick to make a date night sexier.

  8. Lovely gifts, however all I want for Valentine's Day this year is being able to sleep in past 6am (my 15-month old is an early to bed, early to rise kind of guy and still nurses in the morning).

  10. The morse code necklaces are cute and secretive! I always shake my head at those chain jeweler commercials that show the guys getting girls generic heart-shaped sparkly fill-in-the-blanks.

    Lulu Frost makes code jewelry too, and she also does numbers and letters, so it would be cute to pick out stacking rings with numbers that marked a special date or something along those lines.

  25. A story from a friend:

    " It occurred to me that while I think I have much wisdom to impart about love, I can learn from a twenty-something. A Valentine's Day present is not a half-dozen blushing roses; not a heart-shaped ganache to cap a carefully planned, meticulously prepared dinner; not a compilation of favorite love tunes; not a lavender-scented massage; not a hi-how-are-you phone call or email or txt. It is all that, blended, distilled, and gift-wrapped in words, to be unwrapped and relished anew on any February-fourteenth of the year. Words that instantly recall the unshakable your-annoying-quirks-are-why-I-love-you bond."

    the rest of the story is here:

    I love February :-) and your blog :-)

  30. Hmmmm I'm busily marketing Spoonful 8 as a valentine gift. Papery soulful flowers ;) I know it's not usual but then - isn't it fun doing the UNusual? I reckon it'd be interesting to hear people's unusual valentines... there are some grand romantics out there - sigh... is it naughty that I figured that yummo popcorn would make a grand romantic gesture? hehehe Am I a lazy pregnant woman? Probably...

    thea.

  41. Oh my gosh heart shaped cheese is quite possibly the best thing I have ever seen.

    If my boyfriend doesn't buy it for me, I'm going to be highly disappointed.
