Vintage Belt Rug
Jun 6, 2010 Price: Over $100, Recipient: Her, Recipient: Him, home
“This handsome, handmade floor mat is made of artfully assembled vintage leather belts that have been rescued on their way from waist to waste. Its rich tones, textures, and tread-friendly patina evoke the look of a wonderfully worn wood floor, albeit with a decidedly warmer under-foot feel.
Each Vintage Belt Floor Mat is a one-of-a-kind creation, and as such, colors and characteristics will vary slightly from those pictured.”

For the most brilliant white change, Eclipse should be applied over a white base. For unlimited possibilities try putting a Candy Concentrate over the Eclipse.
For example Apple Red Candy over Black to White Eclipse will result in a black to Red change (as pictured here)
Eclipse can also be combined with any of our other specialty products for truly unique effects.”

Feb 19, 2008 Price: Over $100, Recipient: Her, Recipient: Him, jewelry
From Sugarcrane:
” Eros and Psyche are a unique pair of beautiful sterling silver necklaces that, when placed together, form the shape of a single heart. The two halves are distinguished by size, complementing one another.
They are inspired by the myth and love story between Psyche, a mortal princess of incredible beauty (whose name means ‘soul’ in Greek), and Eros, the God of Love. Their story is a celebration of destiny and the unity of love despite forces that try to keep them apart.”
