Valentine’s Day Shopping Guide
We’re so lucky to work with passion-driven businesses who love what they do and do good in their communities at the same time. With Valentine’s day around the corner, we wanted to love on some of our clients and partners (and hopefully help you find a gift for your friends or special person) so we created a Valentine’s day shopping guide!
1. Feve Chocolates
Nothing says Valentine’s day like chocolate. We absolutely are in love with Feve’s delicious and stunning line of chocolates and confections. These delights are carefully crafted in San Francisco and have unique flavors like passionfruit, black sesame matcha, olive oil lemon, and more. We had a blast creating images (and sampling) of these gorgeous treats.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
2. In The Black
If you’re not quite sure what to get, In The Black is a great option. This multi-brand shop is filled with Black-owned brands carrying products ranging from candles to skincare, clothing to jewelry, and more. At the corner of Geary and Fillmore in San Francisco, you can stop in and shop their selection and enjoy the beautiful space or shop all 22 vendors online. You can not only find unique products here, you can feel good giving gifts that contribute toward supporting emerging entrepreneurs and buying Black (after all, it is Black History Month!)We loved creating the branding, building out the space, and developing their e-commerce shop!
3. PlanterDay
You might have guessed it from our website, but we’re plant people. Get creative this Valentine’s day and give the gift of a gorgeous plant from some of our partners over at PlanterDay. They have a shop in Rockridge that’s dreamy and lush. Matt and Yumi, the owners, are incredibly kind and will help you find the plant that’s just right and will walk you through the care instructions. As a mission-driven plant shop, they’re dedicated to destigmatizing mental health and promoting mental health resources. Better yet, they’re official sponsors of Crisis Support Services of Alameda County, we donate a portion of our monthly proceeds to suicide prevention and crisis support services in our local community. So you can feel good not only showing some love to your special people but supporting folks in our community.
You can see their gorgeous plant shop at the setting for one of our headshot days. Stay tuned because we have another headshot day planned at PlanterDay in April for Earth Day!
4. IXIA
If you’re looking for stunning florals, look no further than IXIA SF. Our client, Cheri, the botanical artist in charge is absolutely magical and creates gorgeous pieces, unlike any other arrangements I’ve seen. When you’re looking for show-stopping florals IXIA is it. They deliver all across the Bay Area and will be sure to wow.
5. PURPLE RAINA
There’s nothing quite like luxuriating and taking good care of yourself. Give the gift of relaxation and calm with PURPLE RAINA, an all-natural CBD balm. Their balm wands are Leaping Bunny certified and can be used from head to toe. Our client Raina, is an advocate for diversifying the cannabis and CBD world. And as you might have guessed from the name, a huge Prince fan— we think his Royal Badness would approve.
