There’s something special about Valentine’s Day gifts – they can be romantic or sentimental, often appear in those lovely hues of pink and red and best of all, arrive during the cold and snowy days of winter!  Here are my favorites for 2011!

For Any Valentine:

A Cupcake Kit

Saint Cupcake offers a delicious Valentine’s Day gift – a kit that includes your choice of cupcake and icing flavors, assorted sprinkles and decorative “flags” to finish the creation!  These kits are available with three, six or twelve cupcakes and are sure to delight – the giddy reaction from my own children was proof of that! (Saint Cupcake, Valentine’s Day Cupcake Kit*, $12 – $38)

A Giant Fortune Cookie

This oversized version of the take out favorite is dipped in your choice of chocolate and filled with your own personal fortune message!  The overall size is similar to a football and the fortune is one foot long! (Red Riding Hood Edibles, Giant Fortune Cookie, $29.95)

Love Surprize Cornucopia

From Tops Malibu, this 17” cone crafted from beautiful paper is filled with fun surprises for all ages!  Your gift recipient will find a surprize ball inside of the cone with five hidden prizes, as well as seven more prizes inside of the cone! (Tops Malibu, Love Surprize Cornucopia, $19)

Heart Warmer Hot Water Bottle

Perfect for snuggling up and easing aches and pains, this hot water bottle is useful and adorable!  These rubber hot water bottles are wrapped in removable turtleneck heart sweaters. (Spoon Sisters, Heart Warmer Hot Water Bottle, $12.50)

For Women:

A Super Cozy Throw

From Pine Cone Hill, this soft, fleecy blanket features a pink and white damask pattern that just begs you to take a nap!  (Layla Grayce, Fleece Blanket, on sale for $38)

“Chocolate Sachets”

Sweeten up drawers with freshly knit chocolates that will leave clothes deliciously scented! Even better than the real thing!  (Uncommon Goods, Chocolate Sachets, $25)

Twirl Perfume

This scent by Kate Spade is infused with watermelon, orange blossom and French macaroon and is bottled with gold sequins!  (Kate Spade, Twirl Perfume, $80)

For Men:

The Phonekerchief

This clever pocket square definitely sends the right message and delivers the goods as well!  The hanky is made with silver fibers that effectively block incoming calls and texts.  Love this!  (Uncommon Goods, Phonekerchief, $15)

Love Letter Cuff Links

From Cambria Cove, these handsome cuff links feature a bold letter of your choice, surrounded by silver filigree on a black background! (Love Letter Cuff Links, $70)

Enjoy this romantic holiday and those you love most!
