Pity Valentine Card

Although I have been posting Valentine's Day items I have to admit that I am not a huge fan. I like to call it "Single Awareness Day" in honor of my single friends.  That's why this "I'm Sending you This Card out of Pity" card made me laugh.  Probably not the best card to send to your sensitive single friends but perfect for that obnoxious ex.  $2 at Copacetique

Valentines Day Gift Idea: Massage Oil Candle

Utterly delightful and oh so unique - a fragrant, luscious candle and massage oil in one!  I tried the "blood orange" scent and it is so wonderful.  It made my room smell strong and citrusy, and when I was done, the melted wax is a moisturizing oil that can be used as either a massage oil or lotion.  It was warm and fragrant, and left my skin feeling soft, lightly fragrant and not oily.  Available scents include: "Blood Orange" "Fruit Fetish" "Spanish Cabernet " or "Floral Serenity"$9.95 at The Succulent Wife.

Valentines Day Gift Idea: Passion Gemstone and Lampwork Necklace

I recently had the opportunity to try this beautiful, colorful necklace.  The design centers around a reddish glass bead, handcrafted by a glass artisan, that's swirled with a variety of colors, and is surrounded by a romantic array of eye-catching, sparkling gemstones all dangling from a sterling silver chain.  This delicate necklace got me a compliment the very first time I wore it (yay!) and is so pretty and unique looking.  Perfect for Valentine's Day - just look at the colors and gem stones!  $104 at Jennifer Casady.
