Valentine's Day Gift Guide- For Men



Yesterday I shared our Vivid Hue Valentine's Day Gift Guide for Women and Kids.  
Today, I wanted to review a few products that we have in stock that would be perfect for the special man in your life. 



1. Best Day Tie Clip $16.  

Though your man may not need to wear a tie every day of his life, when he does, he can stylishly keep it in place with this brass tie clip.

2.  Do Something Pocket Knife $20

My husband has this knife and I swear I ask to borrow it about 3 times a week.  It's made of stainless steel and has four extremely useful tools--a corkscrew, large blade, bottle and can opener, and screwdriver.

3. Premium Wine Gift Accessory $54

This is a single wine bottle gift box made in cherry finish with a pour spout, bottle stopper, corkscrew and drip ring.  You supply the perfect bottle of wine.  Any wine connoisseur will appreciate the presentation and the tools.  The box is securely padded to guarantee protection for that special bottle of wine.

4.  Gentleman Soap Set $18

These handcrafted authentic soaps are in the style of fine 18th century toiletries.  They are environmentally sensitive, made with vegetable oils and free of animal testing.  Wrapper is printed with soy based inks on post consumer recycled paper.  Made with Organic Oatmeal.

5. Gin and Titonic $12

This is sure to be a conversation piece at a party.  Made of synthetic rubber, this ice cube tray makes four Titanic ocean liners and four icebergs.  Great for mixed drinks.  

6. 4 Piece Gift Set $37

Do you see a theme here?  Not to suggest that every man loves wine, but when they do, they appreciate fine wine accessories.  This box offers a black wood finish corkscrew, bottle stopper, drip ring and pour spout.  

7. Prost Stein $45

"Cheers" in German.  This beer stein is 1 Liter, hand-painted stoneware and manufactured in the style of the authentic German beer steins.  

8. 4 in 1 Bar Tool $28

This tool handles anything you'll need to do at the bar.  Break ice, Pop a cork, open a beer, measure a shot.  This design was based off of a functional vintage tool.  

And, of course, there are always S'Well Water Bottles that will keep liquid cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours!  


Please come by and see what we have in person! There are many more items not featured here.  

Cheers, 
Heather

Valentine's Day Gift Guide- Vivid Hue Style


I have to admit, I'm not a huge Valentine's Day person.  Flower arrangements are typically doubled in price simply because of the occasion.  Restaurants are packed with lovey-dovey couples.   Singles hit the bars to trash talk love (or celebrate their independence).

With that said, Valentine's Day is just three weeks away!  While flowers are the obvious gift for a loved one or best friend for this occasion, why not consider something that has a bit more longevity?
I love the idea of giving a little something that will last well beyond February 14th.

A cheeky wine glass gift for the next girl-friend get together.  
A pastel pink gurgle pot or decorative coffee mug for the favorite teacher.  
A fun watermelon cooler bag for the soccer mom to keep juice boxes chilled for the game.  
A heart shaped duffle bag for a teenager's weekend sleep overs.  
A S'Well water bottle for him.  Or her.  Friend. Or boyfriend.  
Or, a set of chic elephant bookends or koi lotus pillows for you!  
Because even YOU deserve to treat yourself every so often.  


We have a range of gifts that are perfect for the day...and who says gifts have to be exchanged only between couples?  I love giving gifts when they're not expected.

Today, I'm showcasing a few of my favorite Vivid Hue Home items that are perfect for Valentine's Day or "just because" gifts.  


1. Koi + Lotus Leaf Chintz Pillow $95  |  2. Gold Elephant Bookends $42/pair | 3. "If the shoe fits, buy one in every color" Catchall Tray $20 | 4. Wine is My Valentine Glass  $14  | 5. Watermelon Cooler Bag $32 | 6. I Did My Best Journal $10 | 7. Heart Duffle Weekender Bag $54 | 8. Rosey Gurgle Pot $45 | 9. Gold Dots Makeup Clutch $15 | 10.  Heart Ceramic Mug $15 | 11.  S'Well Water Bottle $25-45




Now that I have littles, I like to give a little something to them on Valentine's Day.  They love getting a thoughtful care package and I try not to make it all about chocolates and sweets.  We have some items at Vivid Hue Home that would be the perfect "something" for your special little one.  

1. Say Something Necklace $10  
Wonderfully inspirational messages already in a built in gift box.  Necklace is a bar with one word.  

Take it all in and remember to BREATHE, Make today Ridiculously AMAZING, Always Classy and a little bit SASSY, Real Friends treat you like family #SISTERS, Best Friend Ever BESTIE, Life was meant for good friends and great adventures LETS GO




2.  I heart you more than unicorns, roller coasters and bubble gum all put together $10



3.  Floral Journal $10, I Did My Best Journal $10  and Fun Pens with sassy messages $14 for 3.  






4.  Hot Pink Heart Shopper $10, Glitter Bobby Pins, Hand Illustrated Pillows by Mari Robeson $50-70, Hand Painted Piggy + Elephant Banks $15



Now, don't think that Valentine's day is all about the kiddos and ladies.  Even the guys need a little loving on this day!  Check back tomorrow for our Vivid Hue Home Valentine's Day Guy Guide!

Best,
