Looking for that unique gift for Valentine’s Day this year….something they’d actually use? We’ve got something for everyone in this issue, from traditional sweets to emergency power.

I hope you’re surviving the winter freeze this year, but wouldn’t it be a warm, fuzzy feeling if you knew you were prepared for anything?

2,200 watts of continuous power

Hot Peach & Honey Sauce

Combines ripe peaches with Texas honey and hot sauce as a great glaze for chicken and wings.

Also used it to create a super simple, but delicious Hot Honey Slaw – coleslaw with a little kick.

Peach and Bacon Jam

A new flavor for breakfast, delicious peach jam with smoky bacon. An unexpected combination that works great on toast.

Sweet Fred’s Confections

Sweet Fred’s handcrafted fudge, brittles, pralines, and chocolates are sweet treasures made the old-fashioned way.So many to choose from, you’ll need almost a month to get through them all. Delicious!

Sweet smell of Lavender

These blown glass vessels, each a unique work of art, are a way of celebrating the divine alchemy of bee and blossom. Hand-crafted by artisans in Mexico, this amber glassware is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material, looks like molten honey, and reveals the maker’s hand in every bubble and curve. These candles really are breathtakingly beautiful – something you are sure to hear from happy gift recipients.

Their Botanica candles are a clean, simple blend of raw beeswax and pure essential oils – nothing more. The large, 22oz 3-wick candle, is a visually striking centerpiece and will produce a stronger hot throw (scent strength while burning) because of the larger burn pool. The smaller, 8oz single wick candle, is great for spreading the light (and scent) throughout a space and of course, for strategically combining with other Botanica scents. Available in two sizes: single wick 8 ounce or three-wick 22 ounce.
