An alternative Valentine’s Day gift list for those girls who don’t do red, cheap chocolate, or heart-shaped jewelry.

Ditch the traditional red this year for Valentine’s Day. I think you’ll find that most girls would be happier with just about anything other than red roses or generic chocolate. Pictured below are some of my personal favorites, including pewter measuring spoons from my favorite Made in the USA company, the most delicious smelling tropical perfume, candy literally filled with honey from a small chocolatier in Savannah, do it yourself mason jar flower frogs to help even the most unwilling DIY man capable of arranging a floral arrangement with almost no effort whatsoever, and just about the most gorgeous earrings you’ve ever seen. Whether you treat yourself to one of these gifts, order one for your best girlfriend, or just email the link to this post to your man to take a gander at, I hope you’ll find these alternative Valentine’s gift ideas just as beautiful and thoughtful as I do. ♥
