I know we may have all recently marked Valentine’s Day with some sweet gifts for the people we hold dear. But it got me thinking, a lot of the gifts I’ve recommended on Instagram for Valentine’s would be great for so many other occasions where we’d like to shower someone with love.
A birthday, an anniversary, a heartfelt thank you, a show of support or appreciation—you’ll find the moment where giving a present just feels right. So I thought I’d put this list together anyway and share it with all of you.

About Organic CBD Skincare
The journey to creative inspiration can be an infinitely fulfilling one. When we are in alignment and our creativity is flowing, it seems as if all the world is opening up to us and revealing its beauty.
Simply put, meal prep means prepping for meals. Sometimes that means creating a meal plan, and other times that means preparing a variety of ingredients that can be combined into various dishes quickly and easily. While single-serve meals are the most common approach to meal prep, there are other types to choose from depending on your schedule, tastes and dietary needs.
Those of you who’ve been following me on Instagram for a while probably know that I love fresh flowers and I love making flower arrangements.
Bouquets are a timeless gift. There’s something about their freshness and beauty that can really create a feeling of thoughtfulness.
La Flor has a gorgeous selection to choose from and you can take your heart’s desire at a steal with my discount code ISABELLA25.
La Flor sources its flowers directly from farms around the world with practices that have a positive impact on the environment, their workforce, and local communities. They also work with independent, local designers to craft their various bouquets.
The Brooklyn-based Fame has a lovely story of intense dedication to a craft that spans three generations and a trip across the Atlantic. This family enterprise takes deep pride in the legacy of high standards and techniques carried from Germany to America.
They still make their premium gourmet chocolates in small batches. And they stick closely to the high standards and secret techniques that built up their success.
These handmade luxury confections are beautifully packaged. I had so much fun delivering chocolate gift boxes to each of our kids. You can’t go wrong with these!
Go ahead and spread the LOVE. It’s always a good reminder too: “What the world needs now…” 🎵
COSA necklace:
This one, I’m particularly proud of…
Yours truly co-designed this set with Sarah Cornwall Jewelry on my Confessions of a Superager, or COSA, piece. It was such an honor. It was formally launched in November in time for Christmas and it sold out, but now it’s back in stock.
This pairing is dainty, elegant, effortless and a timeless classic. It’s sold as a set, but you can wear it layered or separately by themselves. Both the L-O-V-E and link ball chains are adjustable and 14K gold filled.
Under Lucky Stars star map:
Here’s something really unique: Star maps that show the precise alignment of the stars on a given time and place. In particular—your special moment, wherever it happened.
Under Lucky Stars offers a variety of designs, and you can write the label for whatever it is you’d like to capture. A birth, wedding, engagement, first kiss, first date, your significant moment will always have its own unique star map.
“Our Moment to One”—my husband actually came up with that one for our star map showing how the stars were aligned at the precise moment we said our “I do’s” on October 3rd in 2009 at 5:48 in the evening.

Is Meal Pred for Everyone?
Some foods, such as dressed salads or cut avocados, don’t hold up well to a week in the fridge. Most meal preppers solve this issue by cooking a main ingredient, such as chicken breast, and portioning out ingredients to go with it. Others keep salad dressing and salads separate, and only make meals such as salads one or two days ahead of time.
Another completely legitimate way to look at meal prepping is preparing a variety of ingredients that makes cooking easier and faster.
Prepping fruit and portioning out yogurt and Collagen Protein for your morning smoothie or chopping veggies to make stir fry during the week are both time-saving and take the mental load off getting breakfast, lunch or dinner ready.
Worried about fridge fermentation and a possible histamine response? Avoid high-histamine foods when you cook and see if the process works for you.
