Cupid’s Quiver Chocolate Truffles
Chocolat Moderne makes some of the freshest, richest, most delicious chocolates I've ever tasted. This romantic assortment of 15 dark chocolate truffles in heart shapes and painted with cupids is something any chocolate lover will appreciate. (It most certainly kicks the pants off of Russell Stover.) If you're looking for a smaller assortment, I also recommend the "Hylas and the Nymphs" set.
$35.00, Chocolat Moderne

Bee Raw Nine-Piece Honey Sampler
I'm a big fan of honey (it still blows my mind that bees make this delicious stuff for us), and I really like Bee Raw's sampler sets. The nine yummy varietals come in cool packaging that looks like laboratory vials. $78.00, Bee Raw Honey
Linea Paolo Nanette Flat
This bronze leather ballet flat can snaz up any outfit while keeping your tootsies nice and cozy. I especially like the square toe and the asymmetric leather bow. $74.95, Nordstrom
Essie Wicked Nail Polish
I really like this color from Essie, but I've had a tough time finding in stores lately. It's a deep, deep burgundy that's great for people who like the dark nails thing, but feel a little too goth wearing full-on black. $7.00, Amazon.com
Cherry Earrings
I've seen a lot of stores selling dangly cherry earrings lately, but this pair from Dick and Sassy is my favorite. I love how the light catches the translucent beads. It's Chiquita Banana chic. $24.00, Girlshop
Miller Harris Coeur de Fleur Soap
This perfumed soap feels and smells amazing. The lather is rich and luscious. But the scent, which comes from a combination of mimosa, sweet pea, and raspberry leaves, is light and gentle, and it leaves your skin smelling fresh and clean. $17.00, Saks Fifth Avenue
Doo the Dishes Plate Set
Each melamine plate in this elegant set of four comes with a different colored background design and a different hairstyle on the silhouette. These 10-inch plates also make pretty desert trays. $39.00, Loft Party
Mushroom Kitchen Timer
This little mushroom timer is adorable. He is so happy to be keeping you from burning a batch of cupcakes. I wish the rest of my kitchen stuff had this much personality. $12.00, Fred Flare
JanSport SuperBreak Expandable Upright
Have you noticed that red is the new black when it comes to luggage? A friend of mine recently got her red rolley bag snagged off the baggage carousel and taken home by some dude who didn't think to check the luggage tag. That's part of what draws me to this 27-inch polka-dot bag from Jansport. I also like that it can expand another two inches. $107.91, eBags
Victoria Hagan Hydrangea Accent Pillow
I like white hydrangeas, which is no doubt what drew me to this little accent pillow. It's made of cotton linen and velvet and looks very rich. I wouldn't mind throwing this off my bed at night.
$19.99, Target
Peeps Marshmallow Maker
Don't have enough peeps in your life? Now you can make your own. And you don't even have to wait until Easter. I have no idea how this works, but I am intrigued by the weird yellow pump with a little yellow chick on the top. And I'm very excited about the pink and yellow sugar packets. $26.00, Fred Flare
iH26W Portable Travel Alarm Clock
While this doesn't appear to be super duper portable, I dig this little alarm clock. You can use it with an iPod, Shuffle, or Nano, and it charges them while they are docked. It also has a remote control and a battery backup. $99.99, iHomeAudio.com
