Hawthorne Hotspot Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas By Samantha Schmidt Hello Hawthorne! I hope you all are doing well this New Year. To start, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and many of you are wondering what to give your significant other, as I am myself! However, I’ve created a list of gift ideas that I think will make him, her, or them very happy! Something great about these gifts is that most of them are relatively inexpensive and come from small businesses! If you are single, no worries because you can get these gifts for anyone special in your life! You can easily buy these presents for your best friend, mom, and most importantly, show love. Happy Valentine’s Day, Hawthorne! List of Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas A Bouquet of Chocolate Covered Strawberries The first gift I have in mind is chocolate covered strawberries! They are the perfect go–to gift and a sweet treat to share with your significant other. They also look great and are also Instagram post-worthy! This desert is hand-dipped in premium dark and milk chocolate, then decorated with sprinkles and drizzles. Beautifully packaged in a gift box with ice packs and shipped overnight, you can rest assured knowing your partner will be eating them fresh by the next day. It’s for sure my favorite gift, and I know many girls would be flattered by receiving this as a gift. If you were unaware, many small businesses around the South Bay area are doing business because of Valentine’s Day treats’ high demand. Not only are you giving a fantastic gift, but you are helping small businesses. Here is a list of small companies that I know who are taking orders right now via Instagram! @sweetsbycarla @sweetsby_mary @laninafresasstrawberries @thedripberry Set Up a Vintage Playlist This idea is adorable and keeps old music alive with younger generations! I was scrolling through Etsy, deciding what to give my boyfriend for Christmas, when I saw this very small business from the United Kingdom selling these cassette tapes! However, they aren’t your typical cassette tapes from the 80s and 90s. Our generation does not use cassette tapes anymore, so this business owner from the UK added a USB drive to this craft to download from music to pictures and videos. I made a playlist of all the songs that my boyfriend and I have dedicated to each other. However, it is your choice of what you want to put in that USB drive! I will leave the link down below to anyone who wishes to purchase one!
