Top Ten Perfect Presents for Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th, not this Sunday but next fellas!)
Posted on 02/06/2010 by Cheri Leavy |
My St. Simons Island talented friend Leslie Fendig is coming for a Jewelry Trunk Show at blonde on Friday, February 12th from 1-6 p.m. Perfect timing for your sweetheart!
Aurum downtown has beautiful things including art which makes a great gift but you can not go wrong with a right hand ring. It is like the perfect little black dress as every woman wants one that makes a statement and that they wear as regularly as their wedding band. This works for your sweethearts too but be careful if you have been dating for awhile as a little box might be disappointing if not an engagement ring…you may want to stick with a bracelet as the safe choice and they have plenty.
A beautiful bouquet from Always Always Flowers on Baxter- call ahead 706.227.0805 and ask for something funky and non-traditional. She will know you went the extra mile. Fresh flowers are my favorite “necessary indulgence” and I love them more if received as a token of affection.
What woman doesn’t love a piece of jewelry for Valentine’s Day or any day for that matter? JWR Jewelers in Alps can totally help you with any budget and get just the perfect gift. These bracelets are FABULOUS and would make her giddy!
I collect majolica oyster plates and love visiting Jenny Sligh and Kitty Culpepper and their fabulous crew to find collectibles at Appointments at Five. My husband has been smart before and asked these ladies to help him find one. They have so many fun gifts and goodies that they can wrap beautifully for you and it would let her know it was an extra special day!
Handmade one of a kind jewelry by Leslie Fendig from blonde in Five Points- Stop by her Trunk Show Feb 12th from 1-6 p.m. I absolutely love knowing I am wearing an original and trust me she will too!
I am addicted to these products-a lip scrub and then luxe balm-totally kissable for Valentine’s Day! Shine Beauty Bar in Five Points in Slippers has a wide array of beauty finds and they are packaged super cute!
Please please give your Valentine a facial at The Arbor. Chicks love to be pampered so giving her some special treatment to help her relax and glow on Valentine’s, you will be much appreciated, trust me! Go online to www.arborsalonandspa.com and see their menu and order a gift card.
Personalized stationery from plainjane in Five Points and they have just cute fun notecards with various themes. Run over there asap if you want it personalized or Jane will kill me since it is a week away. Ladies love cute correspondence. We want to standout even in the mail!
Don’t think I am crazy showing you the lamp section at Athens Interior Market! Most women love nesting and making their home a reflection of their tastes. I know I do. The ladies there can make a lamp base from anything and how thoughtful would she think you were if you gave her a gift certificate to Athens Interior Market for this creative and personal gift. They are located next to Hilltop Grill so you can stop by and say hey to Chris and have a beer when you pick it up.
All the ladies in Athens are collecting these fabulous bracelets from Slippers in Five Points. She will wonder how you are so hip. The highly collectible ones have pave diamonds on them. Don’t worry they partner well with some less expensive ones with charms on them. She wants an armful! Amy can help you find plenty of fun accessories in her shop and she doesn’t mind if you want to call her with a budget, she will have it wrapped and waiting on you…706.548.3179
