    Thanks for sharing this blog. I really like the scarf and I have ordered it already. I want to add a little twist to my gift this year as I am far away from my love I want to express my feelings to her with notes filled in a beautiful jar. I saw this concept here (https://www.kindnotes.com/collections/valentine-s-day-gift) and find it quite unique and best for conveying messages. Thank you!
