Dear Eric & Julie,

Flowers? Chocolate? Jewelry? What’s the best gift for Valentine’s Day, or any holiday for that matter? I want my honey to feel special but I never know what to get.

Signed,
Serious Misgivings,

Dear Serious Misgivings,

Picking the perfect present for your sweetheart is easy when you make it personal. Skip the cliché bouquet and choose a gift that matches their lifestyle and your budget. Does your Valentine love music? Go with an MP3 player. Is she big on bling? Give her a diamond tennis bracelet. Are sports top of mind? Pick up a pair of Converse® basketball shoes. They’re all available at Mervyns. And don’t forget a Hallmark® card with a hand-written message from the heart.

Your matchmaker,
Julie

Dear Serious Misgivings,

Valentine’s Day is all about being creative, so try something different like a new restaurant in a new neighborhood to create a sense of adventure. Romantic classics like roses, chocolates, and jewelry can be luscious additions to the gem that is your imagination, your words, and your actions. For example, add fire by unexpectedly unveiling a diamond necklace or set of gold cufflinks while in a romantic location. Be daring, be free, be magical, be whimsical, be in love—live the moment.

May Cupid be with you,
Eric

Kin and Kindness
With the holidays barely behind us, what I’m about to say may not seem right. But if we’re talking trends, nothing’s more “right now” than family. From the people in People to folk like us, stroller-walking and style-rocking have become twin ideals. Kick up your kids’ cute factor with Mervyns’ very own, very stylin’ Sprockets clothing. While you’re at it, hop on the ethical shopping trend and grab a cuddly Sprockets stuffed animal for just $5. All net profits fund ChildSpree, a program that provides shopping sprees to help less-fortunate children buy the clothes and shoes they need. .
