Valentine’s Day has gotten so blown out of proportion.
It used to be that a card or flowers or a box of candy were enough. But now it seems that you can’t say “love” without a triple-diamond pendant or a spa weekend.
Perhaps the current economic recession will help us scale back all of these holidays that have gotten out of control. Here are some small gift ideas to bring this holiday back down to Earth.
FOR HER
Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge by The Pierces
This talented sisterly duo were featured on Gossip Girl. We know she’ll love it. XOXO.
The Romantic Favorites Collection (includes Bridget Jones-The Edge of Reason, About a Boy, Love Actually, Notting Hill)
Four Hugh Grant movies might drive you crazy but your girl will love it. Two of them have the added bonus of Colin Firth.
Dirty Girl Bubble Bath
Here is something you can share. You can’t beat the adorable packaging.
FOR HIM
John Wayne War: 4 Film Favorites (includes They Were Expendable, Operation Pacific, Flying Leathernecks, Back to Bataan)
If your man doesn’t like John Wayne, dump him immediately, because he doesn’t know what a man is. They Were Expendable is one of my favorite movies.
Complete Bitches Brew Sessions of Miles Davis
The legendary jazz sessions recorded between August 1969 and February 1970.
Himalayan Salt Crystal Votive Candle Holders Set of 2
Men like candles, too. Salt crystals act as an ionizer and air purifier by emitting negative ions into the air.
