Celebrate Love, Fancy Style

0

Valentine’s Day is a fun sparkly holiday filled with cute gifts, loving sentiment and yummy treats. Right? That’s what my Pinterest ‘Be Mine’ board would have you believe, but often my grand plans come at the expense of a few stressful shopping trips and even more missed hours of sleep. And, to be honest, they rarely yield picture perfect results. So, we’ve put together our Fancy Tips for a Fab Valentine’s Day to help you (and us) stay sane during this upcoming holiday, because we believe giving gifts should be as fun as getting them!

1. Buy something they wouldn’t

No seriously, I know it sounds strange but we love helping customers put gifts together that the recipient would like, but would never buy on their own. This ‘Hello Gorgeous’ coffee mug is a perfect example!  It really is fab – it says it all, is super cute, and gold.  It isn’t really something you would buy yourself, which makes it an excellent gift.

2. Pink is the new black

We know black is never going out of style, but nothing brightens up a day like a wonderful pop of bright pink and luckily also totally fits the day’s theme.  Simply pull together a bunch of fun pink goodies, like our sip, sip cup, matches and candle and you will have it made!

3. Make it about them

Sure, Valentine’s Day is fun to share with your loved one, but it doesn’t mean you have to share your gift too!  It’s always fun to get a gift that has been perfectly picked out for just you to use like our ‘Hopes and Dreams notebook set’.

4. Booze

And by booze, we mean beer, because we are in Portland, right?  Not only has beer infiltrated our eateries, coffee shops and grocery stores, it is popping up in less likely places too.  Soap, candy and chocolate, oh my!  All filled with beer, because why not?

5. Listen

The best gift giving strategy we have is the easiest.  Listen. Listen to what your sweetie says they want and buy it!  Fancy That is having a few shopping events to streamline the process. The first is our Ladies Night Out, February 3 at 5 p.m. Pop into the shop, fill out a list of your fave fancy products and we will keep it on file.  Next, send your men our way for Guys Night (February 10 at 5 p.m. or February 13 at noon) and let us show them what you would love to have.  We will even wrap it for them, too.  It’s a win/win for all!
