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.

  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.

I didn’t fully understand this early in my career. I thought good design was 90% about pulling together beautiful finishes and getting the palette right.
But over time (and after walking through many homes), here’s what I noticed:
The homes that felt the best weren’t always the most expensive. Or the most styled. They were the ones where everything worked together in a way that supported the people living there. And the homeowners? They weren’t constantly tweaking or second-guessing. They were living.
That’s when I realized design is about creating a space that quietly holds you.
When a home feels right, you can’t always explain why. But you feel it immediately. And once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.
Spring is officially here!
We’re kicking off the season with The March Edit - now live.
Think of it as a little peek into what we’re loving right now... what we’re noticing, bookmarking, wearing, cooking, reading, and saving for projects. This month feels fresh and full of ideas, and I’m leaning all the way in.
I’m also introducing more of the team and sharing a few of the things we’re personally obsessing over lately — from design to everyday life. It’s a little more journal-style this time, and I kind of love it.
If you want to see what we’re manifesting for spring (and maybe find a few new favorites of your own), head to the blog and read the full March Edit. (link in bio)
People always think design starts with picking the sofa or paint color... but honestly, so much of our process lives in the tiny details.
A room doesn’t become you until it’s styled with intention. That’s why we spend time learning how you move through your day, what objects matter, where your eye naturally lands.
When we work with clients, we don’t just drop furniture into a floor plan. We design the feeling - the quiet corner, the morning moment, the lived-in beauty.
Styling a coffee table is just a peek at how much thought goes into every inch.

9 years ago, I was a stay-at-home mom, and suddenly the future felt wide open after this life-changing event.
If you’re new here, you might not know much about the other half of Clouz Houz...
Derrick (my husband). He used to show up on here more, but these days he prefers being behind the scenes. He’s the hands-on one, deep in renovations, and every once in a while he’ll pop in to teach a lesson or share a bit of the work.
Long before Clouz Houz existed, Derrick and I were always renovating our own homes because making something old feel fresh again was what we loved most. I started helping friends with their homes as a hobby, and after we moved, that uncertainty slowly turned into clarity.
Fast forward to today: Derrick and I built Clouz Houz together, getting back to our roots-flipping homes, investing in properties, restoring character, and creating spaces meant to be lived in. This little peek at our Sixth Street Bungalow feels like a full-circle moment... proof that sometimes not knowing what you’re going to do next is exactly how something meaningful begins.❤️
Decision fatigue is real.
Designer for a Day is a focused design working session for when you’re stuck—on paint, wallpaper, layout, finishes, furniture, or all of it.
Two 3-hour sessions.
Your home. Your questions.
Clear answers and a plan to move forward.
This isn’t full-service design or a done-for-you project.
It’s professional guidance so you can finally decide and move on.
