Love is in the air, friends, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Now we all know that you don’t need a specific day to express your love to the special people in your life, and love ain’t just expressed through material things. BUT, a thoughtful gift is such fun to give and equally fun to receive!

I’ve always really enjoyed silly little occasions like Valentine’s Day, and this little ditty kicks off a series of short posts I’m putting together to help you find the perfect little something to hand over to your Valentine(s) this year. These items can all be found right here at Modern Mouse in Alameda and (soon) in our online store as well!

Note: These fine photos are from each respective designers’ websites (LuluBugJewelry, Periphery Designs and Mae Bee Jewelry).

If you haven’t yet seen Lulu Bug Jewelry’s silver and concrete jewelry, you simply must come by to see for yourself! Silver and…concrete?! Yes! If that ain’t unique I don’t know what is.

Angela from Alameda’s Periphery Designs loaded us up with some new jewelry just in time for Valentine’s Day, and a few of my favorite pieces are the ones made with these beautiful, lightweight wood beads.

And a matching necklace:
