Valentine's Day

So yeah, I know, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, but as my boyfriend is absolutely hopeless at gift-giving (it's difficult to explain to a guy why Marc Jacobs is sooo much better than Coach and David Yurman is sooo much better than generic Tiffany's), I decided it's up to me to get myself the perfect gift.

Fred Flare is the greatest place to find cute, personal gifts for your loved ones (and yourself) and they even have an entire category devoted to Valentine's Day.

Some of my favorites:

omg I kind of need these.

Not just for Valentine's day, just for life in general. They'd be so cute on the beach... and then you don't have to worry about sand on your expensive sunglasses.





This hot cocoa mix is so sweet! (ew pun not intended).

I love the little heart marshmallows. It even says "Happy Valentine's Day" on the back.





This egg mold allows you to make perfect heart-shaped eggs. It doesn't say on the site, but I'm guessing you could use it for pancakes too.

So romantic. (and if you hide the mold after you make the eggs, then it's also rather impressive).




And of course, what would Valentine's Day be without chocolate? While I love Godiva truffles with a passion, I think V-day calls for something extra special.


Mariebelle chocolates are printed with little pictures, for Valentine's Day they're printed with "in love" images, so each one is like a little valentine. Plus they taste amazing, in flavors like Lavender, Earl Grey Tea, and Champagne.




Have a very happy Valentine's Day!
