Do you and a special someone share a fondness for a certain hit period drama? Head over to Chad Thomas’s Valentine Abbey (free!) and show them that once a year, you’re willing to unstiffen your upper lip.

Ever have trouble remembering something important? Don’t tie a knot around your finger; it’s much easier to wear Shabby Apple’s Heart Strings pendant ($75) instead. Each charming spin on a bow tie is handcrafted by Brooke Scott in the USA.

There’s just something about a polka dot cardigan that’s inherently cheerful. We think Brooklyn Industries’ Cornelia Cardigan ($60) is just the sweater to pull double duty: it’ll keep you warm and put a smile on your face.

It might take two to tango, but you can certainly samba solo thanks to Sambazon Pure Acai ($59 for 28 packs). Super-charge your favorite juice or smoothie with omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids; each pack also contains calcium, iron, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C to accompany the antioxidant boost. You’ll feel good, and you’ll feel even better knowing that you’re supporting a company that works to promote sustainability and land stewardship in the Amazon Rainforest.
Not a product, but given some of the Tardis-themed posts on Outblush.com, I thought Sassy Gay Ood deserved a mention. Actually, this gives me a great opportunity to stay on topic and recommend a new wrinkle cream… perhaps MyChelle’s Notox Anti-Wrinkle Serum ($55) would do the trick.
BUT I’VE BEEN USING AN ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM.
Are you a globetrotter or a chocoholic? Is your thumb bright emerald green? From food to gardening to travel and more, Moleskine’s Passions Journals ($20) are designed to collect your thoughts and help you create new experiences centered around your favorite interests. With stickers, pockets, bookmarks, tabs, and labels, personalize and plan your adventures in dining, film, fashion, and more.
Bonus: By teaming up with LEGO, Moleskine’s put the fun in function. Perfect for writing, sketching, or keeping track of all of life’s little details, the LEGO Limited Edition notebooks come in four sizes and include a real LEGO brick in the cover to remind you to “Think With Your Hands” ( $17-$22).
Sometimes a craving for comfort food hits. Tomato and grilled cheese? Chili and a grilled veggie wrap? Uncommon Goods’ Soup and Sandwich Ceramic Tray Duo ($30) is there to keep hunger pangs at bay. (Want to swap in milk and cookies? We won’t tell.)

SmartWool isn’t just for socks anymore! If you’re sprinting to keep up with the February weather, Athleta’s Mid Full-Zip Hoody by Smartwool ($110) will help you stay on track. An articulated hood and foldover mittens keep you warm, and the moisture-wicking fabric banishes sweat. Choose from Natural or Black.

Is your significant other vegan? You can still say it with chocolate, thanks to Vosges! The Luscious Vegan Truffle Collection ($25) features dark chocolate ganache, organic agave nectar, and organic coconut milk, for a decadent dairy-free treat. Or turn up the heat with a Red Fire Exotic Candy Bar, which sizzles with Mexican ancho & chipotle chillies, Ceylon cinnamon, and 55% cacao dark chocolate ($7.50). Sweets for the sweet, indeed.
Paul & Joe Kitten Collection

Ready to pounce on something new? Inspired by owner/designer Sophie’s Alboú’s love of cats and legendary silver screen sex-kittens, Paul & Joe Beaute debuts their lighthearted Spring 2012 collection ($14-$36). Keep it low-key with a blusher or paw-printed lipstick, or go full feline with the dual-purpose powders and cat’s-eye-friendly gel liners. Finish by sharpening your claws with one of three shades of nail enamel—it’s nothing short of purr-fection.
