These are wonderful Valentine’s days gifts! Frankly, I think they are great for any time of year. The heating blanket would be nice on a cold winter day.
I was looking at this to get some ideals for VD gifts………. the only thing I really found is the Chala Bag. Love the style and the colors I have to buy myself a bag.
