Homescape February 2008 Rare Finds: Romantic gifts from the heart


By Dennis A. Olkowski

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, our team of Homescape matchmakers has discovered six distinctively different gift suggestions that say: I love you. Each item is unique in its own way and is sure to be cherished by that special someone in your life.

Necklace Hearts of Gold
Capture the romance of the season with a Valentine's pendant that she'll treasure for a lifetime. These detachable double hearts in rose gold are suspended from a delicate 15-inch chain and may be worn in several configurations.

Folli Follie at Ala Moana Center (941-6268.) $250.
Orchids Garden Romance
Unlike cut flowers, the beauty of these faux orchids will never wilt or fade. And because they're handcrafted from polyester, they will grace your dining room or foyer year round without ever aggravating anyone's allergies. A graceful 26-inch-tall glass vase is included.

Horchow (1-800-456-7000). $220.
Picnic basket Dining al fresco
Rekindle your romance - or spark a new one - with an old-fashioned picnic for two. Everything you'll need, including ceramic plates, matching mugs, a painted thermos and embroidered napkins, is nested into a hand-woven willow tray. Just add savory treats and a golden sunset.

Neiman Marcus (1-800-888-4757). $160
Chair Sofa de l'amour
Add extra sleeping space to your home with Smart Sleeper, a European-style sofa/bed that pulls double duty for over-night guests. This stylish leather furnishing is sleek, fun and compact. Color options include red, cream or ebony.

ScanDesign (538-3611). $699.
Ladybug Candy Love Bugs
According to European folklore, ladybugs bring good luck - especially in matters of the heart. If a man and woman catch sight of a ladybug together, they're destined for true love. Six dark chocolate "ladybug" truffles can be shipped in a wooden gift box for your sweetheart, wedding showers or anniversaries.

Williams-Sonoma (1-800-541-2233). $20.
Car Heart Pounder
Make your heart race faster by slipping behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper SRT10. Under its sloping hand-built hood lurks an 8.6-liter, 600-horsepower engine that catapults the 2008 Viper from zero-to 202 miles per hour. Choose from red, black, or "snakeskin" green.

Hawaii Chrysler dealerships. Starting MSRP: $86,845.
