Cupid 'Round the Corner

With Valentine's Day less then a month away it's time to start thinking about yours (Valentine, that is). Figuring out what to get for that special guy or gal in your life can be tricky. Lucky for you, we've compiled a list of some fantastic ideas that will show your sweetie you care.

For the Fellas

One Night on Dickson print

Is your guy a current or former patron (or maybe just an admirer) of Dickson St.? Help him commemorate his college days with this stunning 36x24 Dickson St. nighttime scene print. Composed by a local artist, this print would class up any pad or office. Check out One Night on Dickson's website for more information and other Dickson-centric art including canvas art and photo prints!



Toms Shoes

Feeling philanthropic? Grab your guy a pair of Toms shoes and rest easy knowing you not only made him more stylish, but also clothed the feet of a child in need. If you're in Little Rock, you can pick some up at The Clinton Museum Store (how random is that?). If you're outside the area, you can order them online.

Dead Space 2

For all the gamers out there, this is a big one...apparently. Dead Space 2 is hitting the stores January 25 and all the big critics have given the game at least a 9 out of 10 (some were higher). We're thinking you'll rack up major points if you show up with this one on Valentine's Day.

Classic Shaving Set

Shaving is something he's already doing, but if he's still buying 12-packs of disposable bics it's time for an upgrade. Let him be the pampered one for a change with a cool set of shaving essentials from classicshaving.com. The site has plenty of options, but we're fond of this vintage set. We've also heard from a reliable source that the lavender shave cream is excellent.

Dogs in Space portrait

What guy wouldn't get a kick out of seeing his "best friend" in space? If you can sneak his pooch away for a couple of house, Dogs in Space Photography will photograph the dog on a green screen and create a custom photo of him or her in space. All photos come mounted and framed. These are a super fun, quirky gift.

For the Ladies

Cupcakes on Kavanaugh and Cupcakes on the Ridge

Guys, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Girls don't want a dozen roses. You know what they want a dozen of? Cupcakes. You know who makes amazing cupcakes? Cupcakes on Kavanaugh. Designer cupcakes are starting to be really trendy all around the country and it's for good reason. They're so cute and way more special than that cliched box of chocolates. Check out Cupcakes' facebook page for info!

Ember Heart Tee

Here's an option for the guys who want to do something good. Ember Boutique is donating half of the proceeds of these adorable heart tees to Women and Children First. This is an amazing twofer because your lady will love this stylish (and comfy looking!) tee and she'll wear it proudly knowing that you did something great for the community!

Your Story Bracelet

These custom-made cuffs allow you to give the gift of personalized, wearable art. They come in tons of cute designs and each features a photo of something your girl fancies. Your bracelet can be customized to display a photo from her favorite vacation (like the Taj Mahal in the photo above), her pet, the two of you, or anything else that makes her smile. There's no end to the possibilities. Check out Blue Autumn Avenue's facebook page for more designs and info.



"In Love" Bubble Bath



If the name doesn't say it all I don't know what does. Any bath would immediately be made a billion times fancier with the addition of this bubble bath by Lollia available at Anthropologie. And it comes in such a pretty bottle, she might be afraid to open it. That's just something she'll have to sort out for herself.

Custom Name Charms

Simple but sentimental, these charms are perfect for a girl who's not into anything too frou-frou. Box Turtle will hand stamp these sterling silver or gold charms and have them ready for you in just a few days. These smashing little necklaces are special enough for Cupid, himself. Check out Box Turtle's website to place your order!
