Hello, lovelies! This year I am sharing some Valentine's Day gift ideas that are local to Maryland. And better yet all these businesses are women-owned. Now more than ever we need to support our local small businesses. I don't know about you, but I'm planning to keep it pretty low-key again this year. We will probably watch a good movie and eat a meal from a local restaurant in front of the fire. I've gathered some of my favorite items that you can share with your loved ones this Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
First up are the soaps from Raw Blossom. These soaps and body products are ah-mazing! Her products are always rotating by the season so check them out. You will not be disappointed. There are vegan soaps too.
Next up is a pack of macaroons (or dessert box, which would be a perfect way to celebrate your Valentine's day after dinner) from Scoop and Paddle. These desserts never disappoint, seriously the only problem is not eating too many. Sign up for the email list to get notified about the weekly selections and be sure to order ahead, they sell out fast.
How could I not include my own brand here? Wild Air Candle Co has a special Valentine's Day candle collection, along with a few Bath + Body treats, like the ultra-luxurious Arabian Jasmine + Baies Roses bath tea. I'm obsessed with this tea, it's full of rose and jasmine petals, a natural fragrance oil, mica, and eco-glitter that surrounds you with the scent of a big bouquet of flowers. The glitter floats in the bathwater and makes it feel extra special. And the candles, there are 4 limited editions just for V-Day.

A local favorite, B. Willow also has a special for Valentine's Day. Celebrate that special someone this year with their locally sourced Valentine's Package. Whether it's your sweetie, your bestie, or someone dear to you, show them you care while supporting 3 small, woman-owned businesses! A wrapped bouquet featuring locally grown tulips (grown either in MD, VA, NJ), Jinji Chocolate Valentine's Favorites Box, and Marbled card (blank) by Odette Press. All for $45. Or the tulips alone are just $22. They also have an amazing selection of plants that would make wonderful gifts for Valentine's day or any other special day.
Lastly, if she's due for some major pampering (and aren't we all these days?), a gift card to The Pearl Spa would be sure to put a smile on anyone's face. They have everything from seasonal facial, massage, and pedicure to over-the-top hot stone massage, healing water, a salt room, eucalyptus steam room, and even ariel yoga classes and meditation workshops. Essentially it's everything you need for ultimate self-care! Maybe get them a membership so they can enjoy everything the Pearl has to offer all throughout the year.
Another Baltimore favorite is Pilates House Baltimore, if she is looking to get into shape this year or just try something different, I highly recommend this place. The instructors are amazing and the community vibe is just what we need this time of year. They have beginner classes, advanced and even private lessons. They offer class packs and gift cards. Come sweat, reconnect, and breathe in one of their full-body dynamic pilates classes. They will soon be offering hot yoga and pilates as well.
That's it! I told you it would be sweet and simple this year. I hope you all find ways to make this holiday extra special while staying safe!
