Don't get us wrong, we wouldn't turn down flowers or chocolates on Valentine's Day—or any other day for that matter. But if you're looking to swap the standbys for a gift that's got some Southern flavor. Check out our Valentine's Day wishlist for him and her, below.

Marquin Campbell Turkey Spur Cufflinks, $135

Inspired by an afternoon afield in Thomasville, Georgia, these cufflinks were conceived after Campbell’s husband harvested a Tom he’d been chasing for more than two years. In pewter and bronze. marquindesigns.com

Hové Parfumer Tea Olive cologne, $43 for a 4 oz. bottle

The tea olive is an exclusively Southern evergreen shrub that blooms in the spring and fall. Hové's cologne—like the flower— smells of lemon, gardenia, and a hint of rose. Feminine and unexpected for your Southern sweetheart. hoveparfumeur.com

Hodinkee Distressed Brown Leather Watch Straps, $149

This is a great gift for the man who got a fancy watch last year. Hodinkee—a top blog for watch aficionados—sells these straps as an alternative to the metal bands that come with high-end watches. Simply have your jeweler take the original straps off and replace them with these rustic substitutes for a relaxed, vintage look. shop.hodinkee.com

Laura Pearce Tiger Eye Drop Earrings, $1,575.00; Tiger Eye Beaded Necklace, $2,940.00

Tiger Eye is back, and no one’s doing it better than Atlanta’s Laura Pearce. These drop earrings are made of 18K gold and brown Tiger Eye, and they're crowned with diamonds. The 34" beaded necklace has an 18K gold clasp shaped like a branch. laurapearce.com

Duke Cannon Big Ass Brick of Soap, $25 for a set of 6

The name might sound a little less than romantic, but Duke Cannon’s new line of soap—manufactured in Memphis, TN— will keep him smelling fresh without the overpowering effects of cologne. The scents aren't fussy, just clean. dukecannon.com
 

Emily Miranda's Scallop Cuff, $900

Inspired by "creatures washed up on a beach or hidden in a forest," Emily Miranda creates jewelry perfect for the Southern beach-going girl.
