As Seen on Fox 2: Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Here are all the great products that we showed in the Valentine’s Day Gift Guide on-air segment. There are lots more products below, so be sure to keep scrolling to find the perfect gift for him and her.
Fordite Heart Pendant, $225
Get 10% off with code LOVE23 (thru 2/14/23)
This pendant, from Inside My Locket is as gorgeous as it is unique. Fordite – also known as Detroit Agate – is actually man made, formed from the layers of enamel spray paint once used to paint automobiles. While the paint colors would change for each new ‘run’ the rails the cars were on would not, which would cause the paint to layer and build up in the bays.
Eye-catching colors of these layers – sometimes 100 thick – would bake and harden and eventually be discarded. These discarded pieces have been reclaimed and we are able to turn them into stunning pieces of jewelry with vivid colors perfect for accessory design.
Additional designs available:
Left: Waves of Blue Fordite Heart Pendant, $200
Right: Pastel Fordite Heart Pendant, $200
Anna, the owner, has additional pieces available. Feel free to contact her via the email on her website for more information. Also, 20% of sales benefit the Detroit charity, Garage Cultural.

Craft beer is a big thing in both our families, so when we saw these, we knew it would be a perfect gift for the men in our lives. The set above is specific for bottles, but they also offer a Can Chilling Set also.

Our Q&A a Day: 3-Year Journal for 2 People, $15.26
The Q & A book provides a question for every day of the year for two people to jot down a one- or two-sentence response. There are a variety of questions; some may address the relationship (“Where would you like to travel with your partner?”); others may suggest writing something about each other (“What does your partner’s laugh sound like?”); many are simply questions that each person answers individually (“What is your top priority today?”).
Over a three-year period, both writers can see how their answers compare, contrast, and change as they create a lasting keepsake of their relationship.
