Emilie's Valentine's Gift Guide
Valentine's Day is about celebrating love - through shared meals, meaningful gestures and bringing beauty into everyday life. As Couleur Nature's creative partner in Provence, I spend my days photographing beautiful linens and curating stories and content for Le Journal. This year, I've put together a selection of my favorite pieces - elegant tablecloths, napkins and placemats, alongside thoughtful accents like an apron, a journal or beautifully crafted soap. Whether you're setting the table for a romantic dinner or choosing a gift with lasting charm, these picks bring artistry to everyday moments.
For the effortless host
I love our Poppies Tablecloth. Fields of poppies flourish all over Provence in the month of May and it is one of the most magical sights. This tablecloth captures some of that magic and I love pulling it out throughout the entire year to brighten a table.
For the finishing-touch enthusiast
I love our Everyday White-Washed Rattan Napkin Rings. They effortlessly harmonize with any choice of napkin and add a perfect finishing touch to an elegant table.
For the one who loves a perfect hue
These are my favorite napkins of all time. The Everyday Napkin collection is a rainbow of beautiful Belgian linen and the Robins Egg color is to die for.
For the everyday table curator
These Daisy Jute Placements are sophisticated and beautiful and add a touch of scalloped floral fun to a table. Handwoven from natural Jute.
For the one who perfects every detail
Our Abaca Placemats are simply lovely. Expert weavers hand-select each and every Abaca plant fiber then weave them tightly together to create a richly textured design. I love the aqua color choice - unique and distinctive.
For a minimalist who loves a refined touch
A runner can be a perfect way to elevate any table. Our Lavender Runner delivers a breath of the fields of Provence in July to any moment of the year.
For the one who believes every meal deserves a touch of beauty
Our Lavender Napkins are refined and classic and can be gifted along with the tablecloth or separately as a nice touch of color for any tablescape.
For the chef who loves style as much as flavor
Inspired by the lush, loosely-tended gardens of Southern France, our linen Jardin Apron makes a perfect gift for any passionate or budding cook.
For the one who loves to put pen to paper
Our hardcover Journals wrapped in our block-printed fabrics are a lovely choice for a gift. They are bright and beautiful, perfect for notes, storytelling - daydreaming on the page.
For the lover of everyday luxuries
A creamy bar of organic shea butter soap - a classic and beautiful gift for a loved one. Our Mistral Apricot Fleuri French Soap is a breath of summer apricot wrapped in the softness of white lily blooms, tea blossoms, crisp mint and citrus. A beautiful symphony.
No matter who you are celebrating — perhaps you are giving yourself a gift...self-love is as important as any other kind — these gifts bring beauty to the everyday. The little details make all the difference.
