1. Make Valentine’s Day last year-round with a subscription to Panty by Post, where she’ll receive one new panty in the mail each month. Use code “valentinepbp” for 20% off your first order through February 14, 2012.

2. This Hammered Silver Heart Bracelet is perfect for Valentine’s Day, but it’s cute enough to wear year-round!

3. Macarons are such sweet treat! I recently tried these from NYC’s Macaron Cafe and they are positively delish. The best part? They ship nationwide!

4. Even the subscription boxes are getting in on some fab treats for Valentine’s Day! Foodzie is offering this Date Night Tasting Box for $29.95. Give it to her for Valentine’s Day and then plan a special date night where YOU cook.

5. You’ll never go wrong purchasing her cosmetics, and how cute and Valentine’s appropriate is this love at first blush palette {$14} from Stila?

6. Woah. The Calendar Necklace just might be the world’s most romantic gift. Personalize a necklace for her by putting a gemstone over a date important to both of you. Have some tissue ready when she opens this gift! Necklaces start at $150.

7. Snag these Rebecca Minkoff Best Friends iPhone Cases {$68 for both} and wrap one up for your BFF.

8. Through February 15, 2012 all gift card denominations at SpaWeek.com are 10% off*! It’s rare to find spa discounts, and the gift cards at SpaWeek.com are valid at many, many salons and spas across the country. Get a discounted gift card and get her – or both of you – an afternoon of pampering! *no promo code necessary – the discount will be applied in your shopping cart.

9. Obviously you can’t go wrong getting her a bouquet of flowers! If you live in Chicago, NYC, or the Washington DC area I cannot more highly recommend H. Bloom! I love them! Otherwise, FTD is a great nationwide option.

10. You can never go wrong with jewelry! This Scarlet Crystal Cluster Bracelet from Emma Stine {$68} is appropriately blingy but not too over the top. She will think of you whenever she slips this on her arm.

11. These Half-Heart Personalized Mugs {$30} are too stinking cute and something tells me her heart is going to melt when she realizes there’s one for each of you.

12. We all know Tiffany isn’t the cheapest store out there, but we also know you’re going to earn some major brownie points if she winds up with a little blue box to open. This Tiffany Paloma Picasso Loving Heart Pendant costs $125.

13. I don’t know about you, but one of the quickest ways to my heart includes Ghirardelli. Through February 15, 2012 you can get 15% off any Ghirardelli order! {Use that link to ensure the discount is applied. No coupon is necessary.} Get the Valentine’s Day Heart Gift Tin for just $10.62.

14. Ban.do makes the cutest little accessories and I’m particularly smitten with the ban.do heart {$15} right now. It has a clip attached so she can wear it as a brooch, or perhaps in her hair, or maybe she’ll clip it on to her favorite handbag.

15. Get her a special bottle of wine and then share it with her. Oprah approves of With Love Wine {$25} from Swanson Vineyards, which means it’s good enough for me!

16. Wrap up some pretty stationery for her. I love this Webster Cheers Note Card Set {$14 for 8 cards and envelopes} from Jess LC. Put a big bow around the set and then write her a sweet note to go with the cards.

17. Pick her up a tube of red lipstick, like this L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in True Red. She’ll think of you every time she puts it on, and maybe it’ll become her new date night go-to lipstick. If red’s not her color, use it to write her a romantic note on the bathroom mirror.

18. Surprise her by framing your Personal Love Story. This is something both of you will cherish forever!

19. You will never go wrong picking out a little handbag or clutch. Women love accessories! If you’re not sure what to get her, pick up a gift certificate to her favorite story. Personally, I think this Luna Frame Clutch {$39.91} from Handbag Heaven is fab.

20. Do something from the heart that you know she will love. Leave her a card in the morning letting her know that the two of you are going to see The Vow that night. Or make reservations for her favorite restaurant. Or cook a romantic dinner for the two of you. Whatever you choose to do for her this Valentine’s Day, put some thought into what will make her happy and do it with love.

French love pillow cover 

How adorable is this pillow cover?! I love the combination of the stone colored linen and the black print and lace. Ooo la la.

 Gold love frame

Grey and yellow are my favorite colors. So I totally need this frame. Stat.

And I know Christmas is over, but how darling is this stocking!?

Linen stocking

My husband and I just have stockings I got from the Dollar Store. These would totally make the perfect addition, as I love the rustic feel. Plus the natural linen color totally goes with any decor. LOVE.

 I hope you all love this shop as much as I do. I’m totally on a home decor kick. Plus I think these would make fab gifts for new homeowners! Happy shopping!

Etsy Monday: Megan’s Etsy gifts is a post from: Fantabulously Frugal.

Unbelievably, Christmas is tomorrow! If you’re finishing up some last-minute shopping but aren’t interested in braving the malls, check out our list of 12 Last Minute Gift Ideas you can pick up from the comfort of home. Just think – you can get all of your shopping done in the same amount of time it would take you circle around looking for a parking spot!

1. Magazine Subscriptions

Check out this great list of magazine deals available at DiscountMags.com. There are magazines for everyone and many subscriptions cost less than $5 through December 25! Amazon is having a $5 magazine sale and 19 magazines are available. If your recipient is super tech-savvy, there are currently FREE one year digital subscriptions available for Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.

2. Music

Is it possible to go wrong with an iTunes gift card? I can always use more music! Or, if you want to go a different route, purchase Tune Up for your recipient. With Tune Up you can keep better track of your music in iTunes, as well as fix mislabeled music, delete duplicate songs, and more.

3. Literature

Does your recipient have a Kindle? If so, get him/her a few books to read. Did you know that Amazon even has a list of the top 100 FREE Kindle books? I keep finding new things to download that I totally don’t need, but hey … they’re free!

4. Tickets

If you’re going to treat someone to a movie, show, concert, or sporting event, you don’t need to have the tickets in-hand.  Though you probably will need to do a little bit of pre-planning.  Log into sites such as StubHub.com for sporting, theatre, and concert events, and Fandango.com for movie tickets.

5. Entertainment

Give the gift of streaming movies and television shows with a gift subscription to Netflix. Find a show or movie you both enjoy and set up future viewing dates.

6. Meal Planning

Send your busiest friends and family members a gift subscription to E-Mealz. Not familiar with E-Mealz? Check out our E-Mealz Review. In short, for very little money, E-Mealz sends you a full meal plan for the week based on the criteria you determine (such as number of people to be fed and favorite/nearest grocery store). It’s a real time saver! Right now, save 20% on gift subscriptions with coupon code “GIFT20″.

7. Get Crafty

Get your craftiest recipients an online knitting/crocheting/sewing/candy flower-making/etc. class via new daily deal site Craftsy! Lots of different classes are available and prices vary per class.

8. Gift Certificates

Many of our favorite sample sale sites and daily deal sites offer gift certificates for future shopping fun. Groupon is a great place to start because they’re located in most cities and gift certificates are valid on local deals, travel deals, and gift options. We also love Gilt Gift Certificates because Gilt has a little bit of everything for everyone. Combining the best of both worlds, we love the deals at Gilt City. Their deals are mainly located in a handful of major cities, but they also throw in some great national deals, too. If you’re looking for the gift that EVERYONE will love, send an e-gift card to Amazon. Since Amazon has everything, this gift is sure to please. If the gift doesn’t have to arrive tomorrow, check out PlasticJungle.com, where you can buy gift cards for less than full price!

9. Wine

Send them some discounted wine from InVino or Lot 18. Sure, it won’t make it to them by tomorrow, but let them know it’s headed their way. (And they won’t know you didn’t pay full price.)

10. Flowers

They’re probably not going to arrive tomorrow at this point, but you can never go wrong with a fresh bouquet of flowers! Have them delivered to someone near or far. If you’re in the NYC, Chicago, or Washington DC areas I highly recommend checking out H. Bloom. Alternatively, you can’t really ever go wrong with a bouquet from FTD!

11. Subscription Boxes

Send a gift that will keep his/her mailbox happy for months to come: a subscription box! Subscription boxes are so popular right now, and for a set amount of money you can send your recipient a box full of products ranging from things like beauty products to pocket squares to tea to organic snacks!

12. Make a Donation to Charity

OK, so making a donation to charity isn’t necessarily that exciting for the recipient, so we recommend using Kiva.org. Kiva gives micro loans to individuals and small businesses in poverty stricken areas.  The loans must be repaid over time, and the loan money comes from all of us.

The way it works is you log onto Kiva and find a project that you might be interested in funding.  You then choose to donate a certain amount of money, which will get paid back to you over time.  You’re kind of acting like a bank, though you won’t get paid in interest.  You will get lots of good will, however.

Kiva offers gift certificates, so the recipient of your gift can choose which project to fund, and then keep re-giving the funds after they’re paid back.   This is literally the gift that keeps on giving.

12 Last Minute Gift Ideas You Can Purchase Without Leaving Home is a post from: Fantabulously Frugal.

Tomorrow morning – December 24, 2011 – from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m. (local time) all Old Navy stores will be offering 25% off Old Navy Gift Cards. There is a weird caveat that you must purchase $50 worth of merchandise to receive the gift card discount, but I guess the merch will just give you something with which to wrap the gift card.

you can only purchase up to $200 in gift cards at the discounted price.

I have never seen this offer from Old Navy before, and I kind of love it.

You’re just going to want to be there early to beat the crowds!

Last Minute Sales for Christmas at Bloomingdale’s is a post from: Fantabulously Frugal.

I’d never heard of eBookFling before seeing a deal for them listed on Gilt City. Basically, you sign up for a membership and then you can “borrow” ebooks. Both Kindles and Nooks have this capability now, but usually you have to know someone in order to borrow a book from them. With this service, you can borrow from anyone in the world who is willing to loan their ebooks. The only downside to the service, as far as I can see, is that you have just 14 days to read whatever books you borrow. This could be a problem if you’re anything like me and  like to take 6 months to finish a book.

Gilt City is offering a one-year membership to eBookFling for $49. With that membership you will get 5 book rentals per month, for a total of 60 rentals over the course of the year. This breaks down to just 81 cents per book and will keep your recipient reading throughout the year. As I’ve mentioned before, I got my dad a Kindle for Christmas, so I’m tempted to get him this membership so he will have access to books for a year without having to pay anything.
