Good Buy: Seeing Red

by Editorial Staff, South Jersey Magazine

Love is in the air this month, with Valentine’s Day sending romantics on the hunt for the perfect gifts to give that special someone. We took a look at some of the red-hot gifts and products available around South Jersey guaranteed to catch Cupid’s attention.

1. So Clutch.
Sarah Oliver Handbag’s small-but-mighty clutch is made of soft Peruvian wool, and the brushed silver “O” in the middle is actually a detachable brooch, so your Valentine can accessorize on-the-go. It’s designed to fit the necessities during the next big night out, like Feb. 14, perhaps?

2. Accessorize.
Mix and match your big gift for that special someone with stackable bracelets.
