Valentine’s Gift Guide for Her

 

  1. For the one who values the artistry of home décor, these heart beads are a charming element to add to any space. Handcrafted with wooden beads on a jute cord, it’s a labor of love that makes the ideal gift. Perfect for hanging on a door knob or draped in a decorative bowl, and guaranteed to bring a heartfelt vibe to the home.
  2. Elevate your loved one’s glassware game with Estelle colored wine glasses in a dreamy blush pink. In fact, these would look like absolute jewels displayed in open cabinets. It’s a stylish gift that turns sipping into a glamorous affair; perfect for the person who appreciates functionality and a pop of aesthetic charm. I’ve loved these ever since I laid eyes on them. I’ll take a set in every color please!
  3. For the fashion-forward individual, these sneakers are a festive statement that effortlessly combine comfort and trendiness. Picture them as the vibrant pop of color your special someone’s wardrobe needs. My go-to outfit flair is basically fun sneakers with a simple white blouse and jeans … and of course, a cozy coat! Whether yo’ure hitting the streets or working in the office, these sneakers are a golden gift. I’m gifting myself this year — and have my eyes set on these 😉
  4. White wine in a can? A must for crafting the perfect Valentine’s gift basket for your Galentines! These mini-delights bring a fun touch to the occasion. Imagine the joy of discovering these chic mini cans among other yummy treats. Perfectly portioned and stylishly packaged for the one who appreciates the finer things. Gift-giving just got a whole lot more fabulous!
  5. Set the mood with a Diptyque candle – a gift that is super luxurious and always appreciated. Sometimes it’s the simple things that we would never buy for ourselves that make the most exciting gifts to receive.
  6. These plates are simply irresistible. A true statement piece, especially with the two-tone pink floral design. Picture setting the table for a Galentine’s Day brunch with these beauties — so girly and glamorous! They are divine, and I’m tempted to add them to my own collection.
  7. Slice into style with a pink carving set – a whimsical touch for this time of year. These beauties will turn a romantic steak dinner at home into a special occasion. This set is a unique gift that adds flair to every culinary aesthetic. I have these in the cheese knife version, and find myself using them year-round.
  8. A gift just for the chef! This olive oil with its pink tin is so charming, you’ll feel like you’re in France. This little gem is the perfect addition to your gift basket, because who says kitchen staples can’t be cute and functional at the same time?
  9. When in doubt, consider the gift of a chic coffee table book. This one says it right in the title! Its simple lettering means you can display it anytime (not just for the holidays). It will make a lovely addition to any book lover’s collection.
  10. Perfect for the one who appreciates budget-friendly finds without compromising on style. This red-striped, ruffled throw pillow is so sweet! And, it would look darling on a bed or mixed into your couch ensemble.
  11. I just stumbled upon these quilted coasters made by Furbish Studios, and they are amazing! The textiles they offer are always a fun vibe to mix into somewhat neutral home décor, especially when you want to spice things up in a casual way. Personally, I love the purple — it totally shakes up the whole pink and red Valentine’s color scheme. It’s like they knew my living room needed a pop of color rebellion!
  12. The creme de la creme of cozy: the AMI Paris cardigan. I mean, come on, their signature red heart is practically a love letter to comfort and style – a no brainer for this gift guide. And, it’s a classic … and so luxe! I’d like one in literally any style of color (hint hint).
  13. I firmly believe that the best gifts are the ones that say a lot with a little, and these darling heart-shaped huggies nail it. They’re a touch of love that’s always there, whether you’re rocking your everyday look or dressing to impress! And, they go with everything.
  14. This cool concept packs four different shades into one compact, perfect for daily glam or on-the-go touch-ups. I personally swear by this beauty essential – it’s not just a lipstick palette; it’s a makeup game-changer.

These classics aren’t just for now; they’re a forever kind of gift, ensuring he’ll toast to your thoughtfulness for years to come. 
  5. The epitome of practical, comfortable, and stylish. Let’s be real, guys and clean shoes? A rare combo. These kicks not only pamper those feet but also add a touch of sleek simplicity to any outfit. It’s the gift of comfort that acknowledges the eternal struggle of keeping shoes pristine.

  8. Gift the spring time vibes with stylish sunglasses – a perfect investment for a Valentine’s gift as sunshine and warmer weather approaches!
  9. Revolutionize their pocket game this Valentine’s with a magnetic wallet – the epitome of convenience when they want to travel lightly. Picture this: no more pocket bulk! Attach it effortlessly to the back of his phone for easy access to essentials. 
  10. Spruce up his style game this with hair styling cream – because nothing says “time to tame those locks” in a subtler, thoughtful way. Derrick doesn’t need to worry about this so much 😉 But, it is the nudge he might need towards grooming excellence while emphasizing that self care isn’t just for the girls.

The butterfly effect is wild, isn’t it?
Sometimes I think about how one hard moment—Derrick losing his job—led us here. To Bend in 2018. To starting Clouz Houz. To doing work that feels aligned with who we are and how we want to live.
If you’re new here, hi! I thought I’d share a few things about us 🐝
1. We moved to Bend from Portland in 2018—looking for space, peace, and a fresh start.
2. We’ve been flipping homes for over 20 years, but we didn’t turn it into a full-time business until just 3 years ago.
3. I’ve been designing homes for 15+ years—starting with friends, family, and our own renos. Now, we work with clients nationwide and it still feels surreal.
4. We’re country folk at heart. We believe in slow mornings, full plates, and building homes you can linger in.
5. We named Clouz Houz after a play on our last name—Clouser—growing up Derrick was “Clouz” by his friends.
6. I’m forever inspired by old houses, antique shops, and the idea that every room should tell a story.
7. And yes—Lucy, our golden retriever, is very much the real boss around here.
