With Valentine's Day around the corner, everyone is on the lookout for unique
gifts for their loved ones. We wanted to share a few thoughtful ideas
from Nantucket Looms, an iconic shop in the heart of the islands’ historic
downtown district that embodies the Nantucket lifestyle.
Nantucket

Looking for an unusual gift for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day? One
with a romantic story behind it? How about a Sailor’s Valentine ($1,200 -
$1,700) from Nantucket Looms? These charming octagonal, glass-fronted wooden
boxes displaying intricate designs created entirely with seashells saw their
heyday in the mid-1800s. Made by sailors during their long voyages, they were
presented to their heart’s desire at the journey’s end. Today, the antiques are
truly collectibles, but Sailor’s Valentines are an art form on the comeback.
Thankfully you don’t have to head out to sea to get one!
