A Cute Little Valentine's Gift Idea

February 8, 2019 Julien Garman

Hello, friends!! With Valentine’s Day under a week away, I wanted to share a cute little Valentine’s Gift idea with you!

A little under a year ago, my husband and I started a coffee roasting company called Aperture Coffee Roasters. It’s been our dream project to work on together. My hubs does all the roasting and biz size of things while I do all the PR, marketing and design. (On top of my full time job - oh and this blog - OH AND BEING A NEW MOM - WHAT!!!)

So needless to say I haven’t put together any sort of gift guide but here’s one idea that I’m gonna shamelessly plug - how about coffee + a card?

In an effort to slow our lives down with more intention, my hubby and I don’t really do Valentine’s gifts. I don’t mind gifts certainly, but I’m more a fan of words…my love language is words of affirmation after all! So we get each other cards. For the past few years, I have bought cards for my man from Unblushing (formally Julie Ann Art) so we partnered with her to offer a coffee package with one of her cards!

Shop the Coffee + a Card Duo here

And - if you’re in a pinch and want to do a free local pickup in Arlington on Tuesday next week, shoot me an email!
