  1. Love this stuff! I’m gonna have to run out and find a beau to buy me these goodies, pronto. I’ll be scrubing in the tub while eating macaroons and dreaming up big ideas. Sounds like a perfect V-day. Thanks for the tips! If I can’t find a man, I’ll treat myself to a treat. Really, who loves me more than me? On second thought, put those macaroons on rush order – I need them right now. Nom, nom, nom.

  2. Those undies are fabulous! Well all the choices are really. And I suppose if I wore them (the undies that is), and only them, I guess I wouldn’t need the pillow that says “let’s make out”. It would be understood.

  3. Just found out yesterday my favorite bakery no longer has vegan treats. Thanks for the introduction to Foodzie and PattyCake – those macaroons will be perfect for V-Day!

  4. lady rogue says:

    Hell yeah cookies! How big are those?

  5. Chloe says:

    Lady R, The cookies are pretty big! But a real woman can eat two in a row. ;)

  6. KG says:

    My mouth needs one of those cookies in it right now and my bootie needs a pair of those panties. I think I will send the link to my boyfriend STAT.

  7. Shari says:

    Love love LOVE the pillow! … And the alphabet blocks… And the forest print. =)

  8. Ariela says:

    LOVE this list Chloe! Those dark cacao macaroons look sinfully delish.

  9. bj&r says:

    The Valentypes so intrigued me that I was forced to check out their entire site. No doubt the winner of my heart this year will be the Ampersand. Thanks, Jen!

  10. Morgan Grahovec says:

    Love the vegan treats, as I’m trying to slowly convince the hubby that eco-friendly healthy food can taste delish too. And the Etsy panties are so cute, great picks!

  11. I enjoy seeing new artists and ideas. I am so glad I have some new ideas for gifts!
    Not the usual same old gifts!

  12. Erika says:

    These are the best gifts!! I haven’t heard of Pattycakes yet — I’ll have to order some of those whoopie pies! And the make out pillow is just too adorable.

  13. Marcia McCauley says:

    I want them all–even if it is just to give to the lovely loved valentines in my life. I am definitely keeping the cookies though–a girl’s gotta look after herself, too. ;_)

  14. lindsey says:

    ive been looking for vegan macaroons, those looks great!!

  15. Meg says:

    Fab ideas that beat the usual lame card and dinner out. I’m forwarding to my husband so I can be on the receiving as well as the giving end of this. Thanks Jen!

  16. Amy H says:

    Panties, pillows and printed tees! Oh my! How to choose, I love them all.
    Thanks for the great ideas!

  17. TG says:

    Glad I was sent this link. It made my life easy – I now know what to get my wife for V-day….

  18. TG says:

    Had those whoopie-pies sent to my dad for fathers day and he loved ‘em. He’s not even a vegan….

  19. Gina says:
