Cheers to Friday, the weekend is here & Valentine’s Day is near! Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day to express your love for either your friends, parents, significant others, pets or even yourself! Why not gift yourself, you’re worth it! Haha! While deciding on a gift, a great gift giver knows that the best gifts are the ones that reflect the person, their hobby, something they’re passionate about or perhaps something that you’ve heard them mention that they love or want! Basically, a great gift shows that you’ve been paying attention to them; know their likes and dislikes! Score! Here are a few Valentine’s Day personal stories & gifts I have personally selected to get your gift giving imagination flowing! Enjoy!

My roommate had the scent and I was floored and had to have it. I went to the store and purchased it; my first luxury perfume purchase & I still love it today! Hanae Mori had me at hello while trying different scents at Nordstrom at The Grove and I took a sample home! Later on, I was gifted the lotion, fragrance & bath gel as a gift from my Mom when I was home for Christmas one year! She’s always on top of beauty must-haves! She also introduced me to the Jo Malone beauty products!
BOOK LOVERS: The Great Gatsby, Jane Austen (Seven Novels) & Love Letters of Great Men are wonderful books to give on Valentine’s Day, especially for the book lover in your life with a romantic heart!

A photographer friend gifted me with this very edition of Jane Austen Seven Novels and I was beyond excited, because Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors, plus the book has such a beautiful cover!
