Retail Therapy Thursday: Your Last-minute V-Day Gift Guide

posted Thursday, 14 February 2008

 piece of my heart

Take another little piece of my heart 

I've managed to create a little niche for myself as a writer, compiling gift guides. This wasn't a goal of mine, it just sort of happened -  I wrote a techie guide once, people liked it, and I developed some sort of obscure cache as the 'gift round-up writer.'

My latest such piece just dropped this week; a guide of Valentine's Day offerings that  I wish someone would buy me will please any well-loved giftee. It includes gifts at all pricepoints, from nostalgia candy (Squirrel Nut Zippers instead of chocolate in a heart-shaped box -- ew, how very Russell Stover) to a trip to Rome to visit St. Valentine's hometown. 

If you're stressing this overblown, commercialized holiday right now, you can take a gander at the Lovefest here. (Note: Some of the entries reference shops that are local to the readership area of this magazine, but the ideas are largely universal.)

Here are some past WriterJax gift guides, too:

Gifts for Photogs

Gifts for Coworkers

Gifts for the health-conscious

I've been trying to click on your links and none of them work. I so wanted to check out the Lovefest. Maybe it's just on my end I can't open the links. But I thought you should know.

thanks, I noticed that there was an issue around the same time you probably did ... the lovefest link should work, the others still need to be fixed. Ah, Safari!
