Melody WangComment

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day, it is always a fun excuse to give your beau a thoughtful gift to express your love and appreciation for him! 

For the outdoorsy guy, check out these soft, lightweight Tank Farm Flannels, featuring a hidden zipper closure that allows for easy layering.  The perfect shirt for hiking, biking, or everyday wear, it is available in-store in brown, or the new featured blue for $89.

For the hipster who likes to cook or has a green thumb, Makers Kit makes an organic herb growing kit that can be conveniently grown indoors in oh-so popular Mason Jars. Their quick and easy system is almost fail-proof, and who knows, maybe the next time he cooks for you, you'll get a taste of freshly grown basil, cilantro, parsley, or mint!

For the trendy guy, we love these wooden tie bars by McAdams Co. available in store for $26 in three shades: cherry, maple, and walnut. Handcrafted in San Diego, California, these water resistant tie bars are sure to serve both function and style!

For the sweet tooth, we recommend our NEW chocolate bar flavor from Compartes Chocolate, Hazelnut Toast! Made from premium Turkish hazelnuts and handmade toasted bread, this milk chocolate bar is the ultimate combo for the perfect man!

Of course, nothing says it better than a few personal sentiments of your own, so don't forget to choose a card and write a little something. We have a wide selection in store, stop by and we're happy to show you around:

Valentine's Day is just around the corner but don't worry, we've got you covered! Pop into the shop or browse online and we'll help you'll find the perfect gift. Here are some ideas to get you started:

We think this plaid shirt by Tank Farm & Co ticks all the boxes: cool, cozy, and perfect for layering over tees and under jackets. What's better than buying your guy a shirt that you'll want to borrow yourself? $74. Available in store.

If he loves being outdoors (or is just an adventurer at heart), these 5x7" prints by Small Adventure will bring a smile to his face! They're great for framing and hanging in his home or workplace. $25. Available in store.

All the guys we know love our perfume extracts by L'aromatica. Made from botanical ingredients right here in the Bay Area, the scents are fresh, clean, and long lasting. They're the perfect size for keeping in a washbag or on the go! $30.  Available in a variety of different scents (for guys and girls) in store. 

And don't forget the card. We love this one from new vendor, People I've Loved. It rings so true! $5. Available in store.
