I love online shopping. It brings the ability to shop to those that can’t get out for one reason or another, whether it be due to physical challenges, car problems or just not having enough time in the day. I particularly enjoy sites that offer a wide variety of merchandise that manage to retain some individuality. This week I learned about RedEnvelope, a site I wasn’t previously familiar with.
ABOUT REDENVELOPE
Launched in 1999, our mission remains to make gift giving for every occasion easy and fun.
The name RedEnvelope comes from a firmly held belief in Asian cultures that the color red is an auspicious symbol of happiness. Gifts are often presented in a simple red envelope – a timeless tradition that carries with it well wishes of prosperity, good fortune, appreciation and love.
From tokens of gratitude to expressions of love, as your partner in giving, RedEnvelope offers a unique and wide-ranging collection of thoughtful gifts for every occasion and everyone on your list — around the clock, all year round.
We only select quality products — many of which are exclusive to RedEnvelope — that are unusual, surprising and beautifully designed to ensure the gifts you give create a special moment when they are opened — whether it’s a knowing smile, heartfelt laughter, or a sentimental tear or two.
RedEnvelope is part of the Provide Commerce portfolio of high-quality gifting brands. Other Provide Commerce holdings include Proflowers, Cherry Moon Farms, Secret Spoon and Shari’s Berries.
RedEnvelope.com has a wide selection of unique gifts. They offer all sorts of great gifts for him and her (and yourself) including jewelry, flowers, gourmet foods, gadgets, baby, home decor, and photo frames and albums. Pricing is as diverse as the product offerings – I saw items there for as low as $19.95. Once you’ve found the gift you want to purchase you select the gift message and wrapping, and the date of delivery and you’re finished.
Here are some of the items I found while shopping that I especially liked.
Valentines Gifts For Her

Ultimate Hugs And Kisses
A dizzying array of deep, robust color, the Ultimate Hugs and Kisses bouquet contains one dozen tulips and one dozen iris with an adorable Valentine’s Day bear, Chocolate Truffles, Elegant Ruby Vase and Love Pick. It’s an always-impressive bouquet perfect for a “dinner for two,” a special someone’s birthday, or anytime you want to make someone’s heart race.

Sculpted Jewelry Organizer Tree
Crafted of brass and finished in beautiful satin nickel, provides a place for her jewelry collection to grow. Each branch and leaf has been sculpted to hold rings, bracelets and necklaces, creating a well-ornamented tree. Exclusively from RedEnvelope.
Valentines Gifts For Him

Hidden Message Collar Stays
Why settle for tucking love notes in his briefcase when you can deliver a message of love from much closer range? Both the PG-version and the more racy collar stays are made from stainless steel and feature 12 different messages of love and lust. Exclusively from RedEnvelope.
These aren’t just cuff links—they’re a piece of baseball history. Crafted of salvaged seats from America’s most famous and beloved stadiums, these cuff links are one of a kind. Coated in the original paint of the stadium seat colors, each cuff link boasts a deep patina collected from decades of home openers, double-headers and grand-slam ovations.
Valentines Day Jewelry

Love Letter Necklace
Give her a love letter she’ll keep close to her heart at all times. Our sterling-silver necklace features an envelope that opens and contains a removable love letter plaque. The words “I Love You” are engraved on the front and the back may be engraved with your name, or your true love’s name. Designed by waxing poetic, our necklace is timelessly romantic with a heart design on the front of the envelope.
The reasons are infinite, and now nine of them are etched in stone. One side of each brushed-nickel token says “I love you” and the other bears a compelling reason, from “because you’re an inspiration” to “because I just do!” and “for always getting my jokes.” Comes in a red faux-suede pouch. Stones: approx. 1 3/8″L. Exclusively from RedEnvelope.
