If you’re anything like me (a chronic procrastinator) than you might be in a last-minute-gift-predicament. When all else fails, a thoughtful, handwritten card is always a good go-to of mine. But if written-word isn’t really your thing, here is a fool-proof list for last minute and local gifts. Whether you’re shopping for your partner, family, friends, or even yourself, this list has a few ideas to help you out!
• Macaroons from Hamlin Bakery
This is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for anyone you might be shopping for. Locally made treats sure do beat store-bought candy and these chocolate covered strawberry and strawberry cheesecake flavors are sure to hit the spot.
• Curated Gift Boxes from Made in Corpus Christi
This awesome local brand is all about promoting the talent and creativity we have here in the Coastal Bend.

• Pandora Valentine’s Jewelry from Gatherings
A charm bracelet is the gift that keeps on giving! If your partner doesn’t already have one, buying one now can help you start a new Valentine’s Day tradition so you can buy new charms each year.

• Earrings from Shop L&RK
Our friends over at Shop L&RK always have the best earrings in stock. Their team curates an excellent selection and this multi-colored beaded pair is certainly no exception. With different styles, shapes, sizes, colors, and materials, it’s almost impossible to leave the shop without buying something.
• Statement Decor Piece from Alexis Hunter Interiors
We are too obsessed with this brass “I Love You” Sign Language Hand from Alexis Hunter Interiors. This gift would make an excellent addition to anyone’s bookshelf or desk! Plus, it will serve as a constant reminder to the one you gift just how much you love them.
