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 Looms’ master weavers have created a Limited Edition Silk & Mohair Stole ($250.00) in their sun-filled second-floor studio. Made with South African mohair and spun silk, this lightweight stole is the perfect wrap for walks on the beach or an elegant night out. The classy stole is available in Blush Pink, Sky Blue and Ivory.

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!
