Now you may not believe that the evil eye and hamsa hands can ward away negative vibes and help protect your life with blessings, buuuuut, I'm fairly sure that a bit of bright blue usually cheers a day up, and saying "look after yourself" is always a pretty good gift idea. Not sure what these symbols mean? Read on for links to find out more!

Whomever you're thinking of giving a gift to for Galentine or Valentine's Day, it doesn't have to be the usual roses and chocolates. Here are my top six suggestions, each special in their own way, and some gift guide ideas of where you can source them from! I'd feel so valued if I got 1 and 3, how about you?  Yes, my tongue is well and honestly in my cheek a bit, but also, uh, well there's a bird skull by my back door, and the rafters of my garage are full of drying things from the garden, so #skullsandtwigsforlife?
What about those pebbles, twigs and bones?Well if you can't find your own (or aren't able to go on a walk together so you can stop at nice pebbles to admire, and point out strange twigs in their natural habitat) here are some ideas. At the end of the day, if you want to do Valentine's Day, the best thing to give is whatever shows your loved ones how much you understand and value them - which means the "perfect" gift could be a tea cosy, or the traditional massive bunch of red roses.
The perfect gift for me, hmm, is there a way to make a cookie shaped like a skull? Do share in the comments if you know great makers and small businesses who could be equally at home alongside this list! If you know my work, at this point you'll probably have spotted my penchant for amulets, including the Scarab Beetle. Beautiful bold and blue, but also packed with meaning, you can enjoy it as a spot of colour, a reference to antiquity, or perhaps ponder a bit more on why it's an enduring symbol of renewal.  |
