Just when we have recovered from the holidays... another gift giving occasion is nearly here. I am always on the lookout for something unique to give... and I do live in the desert southwest.

So... here are a few Valentines Day Gifts - Southwest Style!

Kokopelli Planter With Stand this terra-cotta pot and metal stand would be perfect for a cactus or even a dried arrangement. 14"H.

Decorated with Kokopelli who presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a prankster or trickster... The trickster in most native traditions is essential to creation.

Horseshoe Wreath


Doesn't this wreath look like a bunch of overlaping valentine hearts?

And the red and white bandana seem perfect for a Valentine Day Gift Southwest Style!

This rustic cast-iron wreath is molded to look like overlapping horseshoes, then laced with a cotton red and white bandanna.

Looks good on the door or wall, it makes a great trivet, too. 12 1/4"diameter.

Now.... This Spur Candle Holder is cool!

It looks just like the real thing... but it is completely cast in resin.

The silver looks a bit more like pewter, but sitting on a shelf on out on the patio... who is going to know?

It holds a little tea light candle or a small votive. Did you know you can get scented votive candles?

Wait for sunset and light a spring fresh candle.

I love the southwest style... but I am a bit picky since I live in the southwest and have lots of choices. I hope I have given you a few ideas for Valentines Day Gifts Southwest Style.
