Part 2: Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for the bruk, the student, the unemployed, the cashy and the single!!!

 Welcome back!

Welcome back to Brown stew Bullybeef's two-part Valentine's Day series where we help make your Valentine's Day planning that much easier. If you missed part one where I told you about all the hottest spots in Mobay for a date,  you can check it out here. This part is basically a compilation of small, local Instagram stores/Businesses that you can order your significant other (or yourself)  gifts from. The options are wide -  from wearable to edible, from sweet to savoury, you're GUARANTEED to find something perfect for them below. In a "panoramic", it's important that we shop local and support small businesses when you can. So support, support, support!!! All the businesses listed below do island-wide delivery either via Knutsford Express or Zip Mail unless otherwise stated. Once again, THIS WAS NOT A PAID OPPORTUNITY! None of the businesses listed below paid me for this shout out. Disclaimer: I have not ordered from all of the businesses listed below, the ones I have ordered from, I'll leave a personal review of. All of the businesses listed here are stores you can get gifts from, from as low as $5000 and under. Most if not all have their prices listed on their pages.  So here we go!

Bling Tings





This is my little sister's business so you know it had to come first! YES, I AM VERY BIASED lol. But in all honesty, the quality of the keychains are excellent, as well as the creativity and the customer service. Bling tings is a resin keychain and necklace business. Any pattern or design you can think of, she can do it. Prices are reasonable and listed on the page. For Valentine's day though, I recommend a Photo keychain or wire message keychain. 




Change By Design





This is a clothing, accessory and fragrance business that is online based and actually has a physical store as well. The store is located at LOJ plaza in Montego Bay. This store has QUALITY things. I bought a bag set here 3 years ago and I have been wearing one bag out of the set almost every day and it's still going strong, and looks as good as the day I bought it. You can find gifts for every budget and for males and females here. Love it!




Karak's Designs





Love to see your lady in lingerie? Well, imagine her in CUSTOM lingerie that you designed. Or if you're a single pringle, buy yourself some custom lingerie to feel sexy in! Either way, Karak's designs has got you covered, in more ways than one, because they also sell cover-ups! 

Satin Trends





The perfect gift if your significant other has natural hair. In case you didn't know, satin bonnets protect your hair from damage, as the tossing and turning you do in your sleep can cause your natural hair to break if you sleep on a regular cotton pillowcase. Speaking of pillowcases, if you're someone who is always falling asleep before you put your bonnet on then just get a satin pillowcase from them instead for the same protection. They have really cute designs and some of their bonnets are even reversible. They also have different sizes so they'll be able to hold your locs and braids.  If you think this gift isn't "big" enough then you can always pair it with something else from this list. Check them out.



T-Shirt doctor






My favourite and the only custom t-shirt page I order from. You think of it, She can design it. Her shirts are great quality as well, I throw them in the machine and I wear them quite often and I haven't noticed any change in colour or peeling or cracking of the prints. HIGHLY recommend. Check out their current deal below.





Ztir





Ok so I know I have a bonnet page listed already but this page also makes the cutest satin robes and durags! If the bonnet I have from them is any indication of the quality of their robes and durags then they're great! 


TRENDZ by Ren





Honestly, you can NEVER have too many swimsuits. We live in Jamaica where the beach is max 30 minutes away. All the hotels are having deals now and you/ your significant other are gonna need cute swimmies if you go. Check out TRENDZ by Ren for the most adorable swimsuits.




The 876 gift hub





You can never go wrong with a gift basket, there's literally so much variety in them that your partner is bound to love something. Well, 876 gift hub has gift baskets, lotion, watches, cologne sets, tumblers and more! For a wide range of gifts visit their page today.



Lemon Press





It's still pretty much the start of a new year and your partner should start it right. If they are a planner junkie, disorganized or are super busy and have a lot on their plate, then look no further than the Lemon Press planners. Her planners are theeeee best. My absolute favourite. They come with stickers and the start date depends on when you order it so none of those wasted, unused months which is normally the case with store-bought planners. They have so many other cool features, I could go on about them forever. If your partner is the type to forget to use their planner for a few weeks then suddenly remember it, then they also have an undated planner that would be perfect for them. Did I mention that they're customizable? Lemon Press is planner perfection. 

IllumiScents Candles





Very few things give me as much joy as scented candles do and these Candles are my absolute favourite! They are 100% soy candles so they're non-toxic and the scent lingers for a while after they are burnt. If your partner is big on self-care and relaxation then this is the perfect gift for them. Deliveries are done island-wide however you can also find their candles at the following locations:
1. All Fontana pharmacies
2. St. Bess Pharmacy
3. Organa Black
4. Things Jamaican
5. Beyoutiful spa

Bali skin Co.





Now for skincare. If you're looking for homemade skincare for a gift, look no further. Bali has scrubs, soaps, lipgloss, facial spray and face washes and so much more. I ordered their Chritsmas box for my best friend and they did not disappoint and the packaging was CUTE. I know their Valentine's box will be just as good. Their Valentine's offer is below:



Exclusive Desires





If custom lingerie isn't really what you're looking for and you want something store-bought then check out Exclusive Desires. They have a wide range of lingerie that will make doing "big people tings" that much more exciting. ;)

The Royal Kloset





People, here's an idea: buy your ladies a sexy dress from the Royal Kloset and leave a note that says " Wear this on our date tonight ;)" I guarantee she will be impressed. From sexy to cute, the Royal Kloset has an outfit for the lady in your life.

Aphrodite by Michelle





Does the woman in your life spend HOURS watching makeup tutorials? Does she spend an hour and a half doing her makeup before you go out? Well, fuel her obsession and buy her some makeup or makeup accessories from Aphrodite by Michelle. They have mink lashes, bronzer, makeup sponges and even skincare products. Click the link above to check them out.


Golden Flake Treats and Favours





Golden Flake does what I call "chocolate with a buzz". They have all kinds of fancy, personalized chocolates, cookies and cake pops to choose from. I've never ordered from them but they've been on my radar for a while and I think I'll treat myself to one of their boxes this Valentine's day. They also do hot chocolate bombs. Delivery is via Knutsford.




Tomlin's Cookery


Ok but who nuh love them gut? Everybody does! Tomlin's cookery is having an absolutely mouth-watering Pre-Valentine's day Take-out dinner and lunch. Three courses of course. Unfortunately, because this is hot food, it is limited to Montego Bay where they are located.  Check out the menu below



That concludes my list! I hope you've found something that you're significant other will absolutely love! Remember I love to hear from you guys. Shoot me a DM on Twitter or on Instagram or drop a comment below if you order from any of the businesses above and you or your partner loved their gift. Remember you can always treat yourself this Valentine's Day. Self-love is the best love.
