This article is really meant for my hubby, but I thought others might be interested in some great gift ideas for a wife or mom.

Valentine’s Day is pretty unpredictable at our house.  I have received anything from the typical flowers, cards and candy to a trip to Vegas (including diamond hoop earrings).  I always enjoy it when someone takes the time to express how they feel, whether it is through a letter or a special gift you have been “eyeing” for awhile.  What matters to me more than anything is the thought behind the gift. 

Did they run out and buy something at the last minute? Or did they take the time to think about what you may want.  Gifts and expressions don’t have to be costly, it is not about what you spend. 

To tell you the truth, I find myself struggling to write this article.  How can I think of monetary gifts when I know the struggle that is going on in Haiti?  So, my first idea, that expresses love would have to include a donation (in your Valentine’s name) to an organization that will help the Haiti crises. I think I will suggest that either my hubby or the kids think about this one. 

Here are a few more ideas:

Secret Ring Necklace 

by Erica Weiner
$40.00

Tell us your secret, up to 40 characters, and we'll engrave it on the inside of a brass ring in a scrawl-y script. Whether you wear this ring on the necklace or on your finger, it's not immediately obvious that there's a message there at all unless you let someone look very closely.

'metro' small hoops (these are the small version, check out the larger size too)

Nashelle

$41.00

Another version of our best-selling hoops, these are a little smaller in size, measuring about 1.75" across, but are equally perfect with just about… everything!

Available in your choice of 14k gold fill or sterling silver.

'identity' lucky bars necklace

Nashelle

$70.00 + (in gold & silver)

Includes 1 to 5 hand-shaped, distressed, and stamped bars for a cool, organic quality on an 18" chain, available in 14k gold fill or sterling silver. Stamping is included in the price!

Because we make these by hand, the length of each bar may vary depending on your inscription.
