Valentine’s Day is just about two weeks away - are you ready to spread a little love to your nearest and dearest?
I love holidays and on Valentine’s Day, I always try to give a little something to close family and friends. I hope you saw this year’s gifts to my grandchildren, Jude and Truman, my daughter, Alexis, and my dear friend, Kevin Sharkey - they’re in the January/February issue of “Living," which is still on newsstands until February 14th. There are also some great gift ideas from my collections at Macy’s, at our shop on Amazon, from Martha Stewart Wine Co., Martha & Marley Spoon, iGourmet, and Michael’s - lots of great tokens of love and appreciation for those that mean so much.
My Martha Stewart Collection at Macy’s always includes great items for the holidays. If your loved one enjoys cooking, check out my heartfelt selection of mugs, textiles and kitchen tools.
My collection includes lots of heart-themed products this season, such as a heart whisk, heart measuring spoons, heart-shaped pancake and egg rings, multi-functional spatulas, and more.
This is my Heart Serve Bowl. Its soft pink finish and gold-tone trim make it ideal for serving favorite dishes for your Valentine’s Day gathering. It measures 28 centimeters by 26.5 centimeters by 7.8 centimeters.
This is my Ceramic Heart 2-Tier Server. Use it for a buffet or gathering with its charming pink ceramic heart-shaped tiers and gold-tone accents.
These whimsical Made with Love Valentine’s Day Cocottes are fun to use on Valentine’s for special desserts. Sold in a set of two, each one holds up to 6.15 ounces.
Also from my collection at Macy’s – this Enameled Cast Iron 2-Qt. Heart-Shaped Casserole. The dish is made of enameled cast iron and is compatible with all cooktops, including induction. It’s perfect for making a special Valentine’s one-pot meal or soup.
Everyone loves sweets for Valentine’s Day. Serve yours in my Cake Server Collection. It includes old-fashioned domed cake stands. It also makes a beautiful gift for bakers.
I always give homemade cookies to my family and friends on Valentine’s Day. If you’re baking special treats, the “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection” is a must-have. And give my book to anyone who loves to bake. This book introduces new flavors, textures, and techniques, and incorporates equipment that isn’t traditionally used for making cookies. We tried all sorts of new toppings, tested unusual flavor combinations, and made sure every single cookie was fun to make and above all – absolutely delicious.
You can also give my book as part of my Martha Stewart Cookie Decorating Tin Gift Kit from Amazon. This gift includes all the ingredients you need in a classic keeper tin to decorate festive cookies for any occasion.
If you want to give your loved one a book that will be used for many, many years, give them “Martha Stewart’s Organizing: The Manual for Bringing Order to Your Life, Home & Routines.” I am so proud of this book. It is the ultimate guide for sorting, purging, tidying, and simplifying, and has hundreds of smart solutions and inspirations for organizing so many things.
If you want to make a special meal, sign up for Martha & Marley Spoon. This Valentine’s Day Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with Prosciutto-Wrapped Pear & Balsamic Glaze is so delicious and can be made in 30-minutes. Cancel your dinner reservations; this is the perfect no-fuss Valentine’s Day dinner at home. This two-course meal starts with sweet caramelized pears wrapped in prosciutto. The next course, al dente fettuccine is enrobed in creamy Alfredo sauce and served with sweet shrimp and peas.
This is another great meal offered the week of Valentine’s Day – Tortelloni in Pink Sauce with Italian Chopped Salad. It includes an elegant, creamy pink sauce tossed with pillowy cheese tortelloni, and served with a refreshing Italian chopped salad loaded with tangy pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, and grated Parmesan cheese.
If your nearest and dearest like wine, give them a Rose Bouquet from our own Martha Stewart Wine Co. It includes a variety of six crisp and fruity rosés that can be enjoyed all year round!
Another gift idea to go along with any drink – 2 Stemless Flutes from my collection at Macy’s. This set of stemless wine glasses features sleek styling and gold-tone rims.
Don’t forget my flavorful coffees for Valentine’s Day morning. My Martha’s Blend by Barrie House offers whole bean coffee in handy 10-ounce bags. I love this blend – it is so smooth and mellow, sweet, and balanced. I worked closely with our friends at Barrie House Coffee Roasters to select these blends of organic, fair-trade beans that promote sustainability and ensure the farmers who grow our coffee are compensated fairly so that they can invest in their communities, build their businesses and improve the environment.
Here’s my Valentine’s Day Made With Love Mug from Macy’s. This oversized ceramic microwave-safe mug features a romantic sentiment and a gleaming gold-tone handle – perfect for that cup of hot cocoa or my Martha Stewart coffee.
These cozy gifts are great for anyone who loves to cozy up during those cold winter days – my Faux Fur Throw, my Valentine’s Day Bulldog Plush, and my Sherpa Heart Decorative Pillow – all part of my collection made exclusively for Macy’s.
Why not give your love a cotton Terry Bath Robe? These bathrobes are made with the softest cotton terry and made very roomy – about 36-inches from the shoulder.
If you love to make handmade Valentines, get your supplies from my collection at Michaels and make these fun Be Mine Marbleized Heart Coasters.
This decadent gift box from iGourmet will make any Valentine happy. It includes a one-year subscription to our magazine “Living” and a variety of artisanal cheeses – enough for two.
