Gifts with Tammy

Still searching for the perfect gift? We talked with Tammy Caciola - lifestyle blogger, wife and mother - on what matters most on Valentine’s Day and her favorite Dooney picks.

As a wife and mother, Valentine’s Day can take on several meanings. What does this holiday mean to you?
Valentine’s is a day of celebrating love across all relationships, not just romantic ones. It’s so fun to spoil my kids, and I love to celebrate with my friends too. It’s about being kind and loving and appreciating the special people in your life.

We love your style. It’s both classic and chic, and also modern and fun. What Dooney & Bourke bags are on your wish list this Valentine’s Day?
I’m completely obsessed with the Selleria Flap Crossbody in bone because it has clean lines, subtle gold details, and it's the perfect size for daytime! The Beacon Slip tote because I love the outside pocket for my phone, the leather is gorgeous and it has great color options! I'm also loving the Patent Carrington Clutch for nights out.

Tammy's Most Memorable Valentine's Day

"My husband and I were dating and didn’t have much money. He hand-delivered three red roses to my office with a card that melted my heart. He has given me many roses since, but those first three were the most special!"

With the big day just around the corner, how do you plan to celebrate with your family this year?
We are going out for a nice dinner without the kids. Traditional I know, but it works!

Quick! Flowers or chocolate?
Flowers! I work too hard at the gym LOL.

Favorite romantic comedy?
Totally showing my age, but Sixteen Candles.

Best love song?

You’ve been married to your husband for almost 20 years. What love advice do you have?
Always treat your significant other as you would want to be treated. If you want more hugs, give more hugs, if you want to be listened to more, listen. Love is a decision.
