A Toast to February

​Cheers to the month of romance, hearts and flowers!

Valentine’s Day is coming up fast – on the face of it a nice day to recognize and appreciate our loved ones, but underneath the surface lurks potential stress over gift-giving. Do I need to give a gift? Have I picked the right gift? What if she/he hates this gift? Even worse, what if she/he doesn’t get ME a gift in return? That’s a lot of pressure to put onto one little ol’ holiday. 

Please pardon this commercial break (What? Self-promotion during the run-up to one of the most Hallmark-iest holidays of all? Shocking.) but I’d like to suggest a quick visit to Entertaining Vintage to peruse a wide range of gift options carefully selected to surprise and delight. 

Does your Valentine enjoy traditional symbols of love – hearts, candles, flowers?

Or is your True Love a bit quirkier, perhaps a fan of oddball expressions of affection such as these eccentric, music-playing cats? Or the cute kissing couple? All of these are salt and pepper shakers, for those who wish to add a little spice to their relationships.

Maybe your Snuggle-Bunny would prefer to receive a fine glass of wine and a tasty snack as demonstration of your deep feelings. Food is love, after all.
