Shop Local Gift Guide: Valentine’s Day For Her Under $100

We get it: Valentine’s Day has a bad rap for being a pretty commercial holiday. But underneath the Hallmark-ness of it all, perhaps a day to celebrate those you love, and to tell them you love them and appreciate them, isn’t such a terrible idea. We love the idea of warming up a cold mid-February day with feelings of love, joy, and appreciation.

Whether you’re celebrating a Valentine, a Gal or Pal-entine, or an “I love myself and I’m worthy of showing myself love”-entine, we’ve rounded up our favorite gifts, by our favorite local Western Mass area businesses, to make sharing your love even easier this Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget to pick up your favorite Valentine’s Day card to add in, too!

Shop Local Gift Guide: Valentine’s Day For Her Under $100

For Your Sentimental Sweetie

If your Valentine is the type to keep every card you’ve given her, has a collection of handwritten letters, and waxes poetically about her favorites moments with you,  give her lasting mementos of your love with an initial necklace, a custom art piece with your favorite song, and heart magnets to keep those love moments displayed where she can see them.

For Your Book Lover

Did you know that some penguins mate for life? Give your favorite bookworm a new library or book shop bag adorned with the cutest Penguin couple we’ve seen.

Bonus points – scour her Amazon list or notes for a book she’s looking forward to reading, and tuck it into the bag.
