This year, because so many of us have had so much QT with our spouses and significant others and so little time with our gals, it feels right to celebrate Galentines Day. Maybe we can’t toast each other at brunch, or over a glass of bubbly just yet but, we can leave little surprises on doorsteps and mailboxes. I visited some of my favorite local shops (all offering curbside pickup) and found some seriously cute gifts for all of your Galentines.
Small Porcelain Dish
Kindred (Hingham, MA)
These perfectly sized dishes are great for jewelry, soaps, catch-alls, cups of tea, or to decorate your shelves. Hand made by a small, family run business with powerful impactful words screen printed onto clay with the hope to open hearts.
Transparent Raffia Tote
kloTH (Hingham)
I love everything this tote stands for, from the eco friendly materials to the local artisans it supports. The beautiful colorful straps are hand woven mecapál and the sustainable raffia body is sourced from all over Mexico. Te Amo!
Lampe Berger
La Petite Maison (Hingham)
Our home can be stinky one! Between two large dogs, 4 busy kids, our love of fish (but not the smell it leaves behind) this lamp will become an essential part of our home. The lamps destroy bacteria and odor in the air while increasing the amount of oxygen. Something we could all use more of as we #stayhome.
Monogram Apron
BB Monogram
Who needs chocolate when you have an apron as sweet as this? Treat your favorite little baker with this valentines apron. Fits little bakers 3-9 yrs old and can be monogramed in time for Valentines with 48 hours notice!
Magic Dust Dry Shampoo
fig.a (Hingham)
I love how this clean 2 in 1 solution is available in 4 shades (dark brown, light brown, redheads and blondes/silver foxes) for hair and body. The powder is thin and spreads easily onto roots; and the organic fragrance is a safe solution on days of unwashed hair and skin.
Bracelet Hair Tie
fig-a (Hingham)
One for you, one for me; because sharing is caring. These cute bracelets double as a hair tie, so chances are if these little beauties get lost (why do all my elastics always disappear??) they may be taking residence on your daughter’s, sister’s, friend’s or mother’s wrist.
Cards
Assembly Showroom (Hingham + Cohasset locations)
A friend of mine has sent the same greeting card back and forth for years to her friend and it’s become a keepsake and ritual for them to keep in touch. This combined with one of my favorite parts of December: Memorable photo cards and hand written notes summarizing the past year keeps the mighty greeting card as a top gift in my book. Lets keep the spirit alive and keep rushing to our mailboxes to enjoy the highly personal and meaningful tradition of cards.
Valentine Necklaces
kloTH (Hingham)
When you want to get straight to the point, these cute necklaces are fun to wear all month long. I personally love the gold ball chain. Wear it as is, or easily add/collect more of your favorite charms on it. Tip: Don’t leave layering for sweaters and outerwear.
Rings
Chel Bella (Hingham)
With the exception of my wedding ring, a lot of my rings are gifts from girlfriends. The two gold rings on my pointer and middle finger are by certified b-corp, women led, people first ethical jewelry brand SOKO. Go ahead, send a beautiful message to your beautiful friend.
Weighted Eyeglass Holder
Aquire Good (Hingham)
If you haven’t lost your glasses at least once in this pandemic count yourself lucky. I’m queen of juggling a million things and setting one item down for a moment only to misplace them, there I said it. I love these weighted bean bag eyeglass holders, for that reason. Place them by your desk, bed, playroom, kitchen anywhere you normally keep your glasses. Then this clever hand sewn holder keeps them up right and scratch free.
Lip Shine
Chel Bella (Hingham)
These clean beauty Lip Shines not only glide on silky smooth they also provide moisture and protection with CBD and botanical oils. Wear them day/night and enjoy all the luxurious shine and protection together in one beautifully packaged gift.
