2022 Valentine's Day Gift Guide: For Him

Since our holiday gift guides were such a big hit we decided to keep the fun going with Valentine’s Day gift guides.

Farmhouse Pottery Heart Mug

Our family members all love Farmhouse Pottery so we were excited to include this mug in the mix. They are all one-of-a-kind and hand painted. 10% of each mug sale goes to the American Heart Association.

SunnyLife Lucite Backgammon

Full disclosure: we don't know how to play backgammon but ALL of our nearest and dearest friends love this game so we’re adding the classic game to the list but with a twist.

Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci

Between this book and binge watching Searching For Italy, Stanley got us through our recent covid-haze. Taste, just like the series, takes you on a journey through Stanley’s life through food. He shares special recipes, anecdotes, funny stories about being on set, growing up in Westchester, New York, and his love for Italian food.

Portable Grill

This charcoal grill is easy to transport anywhere. It’s only 15lbs and has a bamboo cutting board and a plastic storage tray for utensils.

Mix Tape on Vinyl

Select the songs you want to include (20 mins max), create your own cover art and choose between black, white or transparent Vinylify will do the rest!

Outerknown Travel Tote

We love a tote and we love anything Outerknown creates. This tote has all the features we look for - pockets, zippers, removable straps, easy-to-clean fabric, eco-conscious. These bags are handcrafted in a small, family-owned workshop in Japan from mostly recycled materials.

Weighted Sleep Mask

This eye mask is perfect for soothing migraines, calming anxiety, or easing into restful sleep. It’s weighted pods contour to your face, blocking out any light while providing slight, soothing pressure.

Marine Layer Sweatshirt

Marine Layer’s clothes are so soft and this sweatshirt is no exception. Jared lives in his. This sweatshirt is made with organic cotton and recycled polyester - Tidy Nest approved!

Polaroid Instand Camera

Same retro charm as the original with some helpful upgrades like a powerful flash and a timer.

2022 Valentine's Day Gift Guide: For Her

Since our holiday gift guides were such a big hit we decided to keep the fun going with Valentine’s Day gift guides.

Booklinen Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets reduce stress and anxiety and this Brooklinen version does just that. It feels like a cozy, 12lb hug and the breathable fabric doesn’t create extra heat.

MZ Wallace Heart Backpack

Yes, you all get it….We love MZW and we love versatile pieces. This design is half backpack, half tote with all the MZW bells & whistles (a million pockets, detachable pouch, leather detailing). Plus leopard & hearts is a no brainer.

Away Carry-On

You may recall seeing this on our travel gift guide. We love anything Away - the compression board allows us to pack more outfits and the spinner wheels actually work! And now it’s available in this stunning rose gold.

Ellis Brooklyn Library Clean Perfume

It’s hard to find nice smelling perfume that lasts AND is clean. We’ve been using this set since the holidays. The scents can be layered so it’s been fun to play around creating new scents each day. The best part is that the scents are vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free and phthalte-free.

Carved Heart Tray

We love multipurpose pieces so we’re always looking for items that can be used in many rooms. We thought this could be sweet in an entryway as decor, bathroom to corral your perfumes and pretty bottles, as a serving piece for parties or simply mounted on the wall as a piece of art. It’s hand-carved from repurposed oak.

Ring Concierge's Customized Birthstone Necklace

This is a fun, modern take on the birthstone necklace. Choose up to 5 different stones and place in any order you’d like. Shannon and her best friend have these as “best friend necklaces” and wear them every single day.

Cashmere Scarf

Cashmere scarf sounds boring but we loved the “Made with Love” detail on the bottom and it’s super wide so it can be used as a shawl or travel blanket - another double duty product!

Adopt An Elephant

Or a Rhino or giraffe at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. Jared was lucky enough to visit a few years ago and came home with an (adopted) elephant for Shannon which is still one of her favorite gifts. You can read about each orphan’s story on their website and choose the orphan that speaks to you

Lavender Essential Oil

Grove products never disappoint. This certified organic lavender essential oil is a more budget-friendly essential oil and is great for aromatherapy and home fragrance.

2022 Valentine's Day Gift Guide: For Your Galentines

Since our holiday gift guides were such a big hit we decided to keep the fun going with Valentine’s Day gift guides.

Raffia Heart Baskets

While this is intended for a nursery or playroom, we think it’s a sweet addition to any room.

Plant A Tree

Plant a tree in someone’s honor through A Living Tribute. Each order will help conservation organizations like the National Forest Foundation restore treasured National Forests and Parks from the Pacific Northwest to New England.

Cork Placemat

A placemat that is cute plus easy to wipe clean is a win-win for us!

Big Friendship

“An inspiring and entertaining testament to the power of society’s most under-appreciated relationship, Big Friendship will invite you to think about how your own bonds are formed, challenged, and preserved. It is a call to value your friendships in all of their complexity. Actively choose them. And, sometimes, fight for them.”

Calm App

Give the gift of mindfulness, improved sleep, and… calm with a subscription to one of our favorite meditation apps.

Copper Water Bottle

Okay, we love a gift that you’d never buy yourself and this is one of them. It’s a pricey water bottle but not only is it so pretty, it’s inspired by the Ayurvedic practice of tamra jal - or, storing water in copper vessels - which is believed to help neutralize toxins as it ionizes and balances the pH of water.
