HOT 5 - 2/5/24
Lovely HOT Friends,
Happy almost Valentine's Day! Yes, you're probably sick of hearing about it by now but despite its over-commercialization, I find that celebrating this holiday offers a welcome reprieve in these crazy times. In a world grappling with challenges and fears, taking a day to indulge in fun and frivolity can be a much-needed distraction. Valentine's Day, at its core, is an opportunity to focus on love and affection, be it romantic, platonic, or familial. Embracing a day dedicated to expressing and celebrating love is a reminder that positivity and connection can still thrive. It's a chance to spread joy through small gestures or grand expressions and acknowledge the powerful force that love represents. In a time when the world can seem daunting, celebrating Valentine's Day is a way to rekindle hope and affirm that love makes the world go 'round. All of that is to say that this week's HOT 5 is dedicated to helping you find the perfect gift for all the Valentines in your life. And, with any HOT purchase, I’ll send you a little surprise gift for Valentine’s Day!
Here's The HOT 5 Valentine's Day Shopping Guide
1. Hot for V Day
2. Galentine's Day Gifts
3. Valentine Vintage
4. For The Guys
5. For Young Valentines
1. Hot for V Day -- Of course, I'm going to start with what I have for you on House of Terrance that will make a perfect Valentine's Day gift! Even if the only Valentine you're gifting is you :) I've always loved hearts as a design motif so you'll find vintage pieces and brand-new ones featuring hearts.
2. Galentine's Day Gifts
Did You know that In 2010, Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation character launched the unofficial February 13 holiday as an occasion for “Ladies celebrating ladies”? That history was news to me and I love the idea of getting a little something for your best gal pals too!
3. Valentine Vintage
By now we all know that buying vintage is the best way to shop, for the planet and our pocketbooks. Why not incorporate that in your gift-giving as well? Vintage tends to be one-of-a-kind and special so it makes a very thoughtful gift.
4. For The Guys
Guys are notoriously hard to shop for but in looking through tons of Valentine's gift ideas I found lots of unique and fun gifts to choose from. Check out the range of items I've chosen.... everything from fashion to foliage!
5. For Young Valentines
Celebrating Valentine's Day starts early in life. Remember counting how many little cards you received in class and whether or not one was signed by your crush of the moment? I have fond memories of eating those little chalky heart candies with sweet sayings too. Be mine?
Here's to a V-Day full of fun and fabulousness!
Terry xoxo
