Extravagant, Coastal-Inspired Gift Inspiration

Chocolate, champagne, long stemmed red roses, an elegant, romantic dinner - all hallmarks of a traditionally generous Valentine's Day celebration. 

Who doesn't love all those extravagant and classic gestures of love and affection? 

Those items and experiences, individually or together, are a generous demonstration of affection. However, we southern coastal fans might really appreciate something more, well, coastal.

While the gifts in this curated coastal collection are, in fact, extravagant - they are intended to be inspiration for similar gifts you might choose in your own price range. All of these heritage brands exude style, sophistication, and elegance - while presenting the recipient with something they can enjoy for a lifetime.

Shades of aqua, teal, crisp white, nautical blue, and peridot green - along with touches of rattan - capture the coastal spirit while letting your loved one know - you "get" them.
