Valentine’s Gifts That Are Not Roses and Chocolates

Late February is the point where winter starts to loosen its grip. The days feel a little longer, gardens begin to stir, and many of us feel ready to bring some life back into our homes and outdoor spaces. You do not need a full garden overhaul to mark the change of season. Small, thoughtful additions can help your space feel refreshed and ready for spring, even if you only have a windowsill, patio or small garden. Glass is particularly well suited to this transition.
