Ring in February with fabulous new Southern-made items to gift your loved ones or yourself. From fresh accessories for the wardrobe and home to some heart-shaped ways to say “I love you,” you will fall hard for these 19 February FINDS.
FROM THE HEART
Heart necklace
What better piece to add to your (or your loved one’s) everyday jewelry lineup than this puffy heart on a chunky, gold-filled chain?! You can clasp the 18-inch cable chain anywhere to create various lengths and layered looks. Made by hand in Charleston, SC, you can find this for $118 at Hart Hagerty.
Huggies
Susan Gordon’s known for her irresistible ceramic pottery, but her jewelry is making a splash recently. These dainty earrings are perfect for everyday wear to date night flare. The hearts are formed from clay and coated with 22K gold luster, and the huggies are 18K gold with pave stones. Find these for $52 at Susan Gordon.
Heart dish
This gold heart-shaped marble trinket dish is perfect for February and beyond. We love the imperfect gold foil detail, too. The gray color is available for $26 at Charlotte’s.
Sweetheart chocolate set
This Atlanta chocolatier’s gift-ready set comes with two jars of chocolate. Love & Happiness Hearts: the award-winning raspberry- and blood orange-infused dark chocolate sprinkled with dried strawberries for a pop of color. The Raspberry Sorbet Hearts are made with almond butter white chocolate, infused with strawberries and raspberries, and sprinkled with cacao nibs for the tart and fruity flavor and crunch of raspberry sorbet. It’s beautifully gift-wrapped, too! Send this to your love for $35 at Xocolatl.
Gold heart mug set
The perfect mug set for anyone who loves love; each mug is detailed by hand with genuine 22K gold hearts. One matte black mug and one glossy white mug in the size of your choice. Plus, every mug is lovingly made from scratch in Nashville! Shop the two 12-ounce mugs for $90 at Handmade Studio TN.
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
Bucket bag
Add a dash of magic to your ‘fit with this black velvet bucket bag adorned with beaded metallic stars. It’s got a tasseled drawstring closure and is $78 at Luminary.
Wrap
This lightweight, versatile wrap scarf is whimsically designed by the beloved Laura Park! It’s a lovely wardrobe addition that will make the transition from winter to early spring so easy. Wear it with a chunky sweater, as a beachy sarong, or as a statement scarf to elevate an otherwise-neutral look … the possibilities are endless! This comes in four styles (Monet’s Garden Green is shown below) for $88 each at Lulubelles.
Blouse
This flowy blouse can take you from errands to girls’ night out with ease. We love the soft paisley print and quilted neckline. Plus, Cleobella’s handmade process means local artisans make each piece sustainably in small factories. Shop this for $138 at Beau & Ro.
Earrings
Ready for Mardi Gras season or any season, these trendy winged earrings are handmade with gold and Mardi-Gras-colored glitter leather layers. Shop them for $38 at Sanctuary. (There are lots of other designs at great prices, too!)
Socks
We have a weakness for cute socks, and if they’re extra cozy, too? Consider us sold. This pair from imogene + willie has a Southern flare with an edge and would look perfect peeking out from our favorite boots this winter. Pick up a pair for $28 at imogene + willie.
FOR THE HOME
Strawberry field bouquet
A “happy” for any day of the year, this bouquet is full of berry, mauve, blush, and strawberry pink blossoms. The foliage is hand-arranged by Idlewild’s team of designers in Charlotte. Once the blossoms are harvested at peak bloom, they go through a natural preservation process that keeps their natural beauty for a year or longer! Find yours for $95 at Idlewild Floral. You can add a pretty little vase for another $30.
Snail planter
We can’t get over this whimsical planter! The two-piece stoneware set features a detailed snail base with a neutral glaze finish that shows off the eye-catching marble patina. You can add this little guy to your home or garden for $37.99 at Piper Lillies.
Mini lamp
No overhead lights on in the winter. I repeat: NO overhead lights! Create the perfect dimly lit vibe anywhere in your house with this dainty marbled lamp. It’s replicated to look like pink quartz, but without the designer price tag. Shop this for $315 at The Shade Shop.
Bud vase cluster
This ceramic, brightly colored vase cluster is so perfect for displaying pretty single stems that didn’t quite make it into the main bouquet. Stick this on any random table in the house to add some nice pizazz. It’s $32 exclusively at 3 Monkeys.
Wooden mushrooms
You just cannot help but smile at these wooden mushrooms! Stick these in the kitchen, a kids’ room, or even outside. The large mushroom is $40, and the small one is $30 at Patina Collection.
BATH & BEAUTY
Body oil
Lollia’s “In Love Dry Body Oil” offers sheer hydration with moisturizing coconut and sweet almond oils mixed with soothing pomegranate and green tea in the perfect treat for all skin types — especially dry and sensitive skin. This moisture-rich pick-me-up with lush botanicals is $46 at Barefoot Cottage.
All-purpose skin savior
We’re all for simplicity in skincare these winter days. The ultimate multi-tasker, Skin Savior removes dirt and makeup, but it also moisturizes, illuminates, and can even turn mineral powder into a glowing foundation. It’s got an antioxidant-rich blend of organic coconut oil, mango butter, jojoba, and chia. And a little goes a long way! Shop this for $49 at Darling’s Fine Things.
Candle flight
Candlefish’s themed candle flights come with three curated 2.5-ounce candles, a library card insert with fragrance notes and candle care tips you need, and a gold marbled envelope with a handwritten note (you tell them what to write!). The “date night” edition features No. 25 (lavender, moss, leather), No. 40 (rose, lavender, amber), and No. 59 (pine, sandalwood, leather). Shop this set for $36 at Candlefish.
Self-care gift set
Give your Valentine or Galentine the ultimate self-care gift box. This pamper-perfect set includes a bath soak, hand cream, bath bomb, candle, and nail polish, and it’s complete with a handwritten note to show your love. Find the set for $84.95 at High Note Gifts.
Have a love-ly February, y’all!
