Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone who entered! Our randomly selected winner is Oona (who mentioned she’ll likely celebrate tonight with dinner at “a lovely vegan restaurant”). Congratulations, Oona!
We love celebrating Valentine’s Day with a special jewelry giveaway, and this year the prize was generously provided by Kendra Scott — one of our favorite places for beautiful, timeless pieces. The prize was a $500 gift card, which gives one lucky reader a chance to pick from their signature collections or customize pieces using Kendra Scott’s Color Bar. That customization option makes it easy to design a gift that feels personal, whether you’re shopping for a partner, a friend, or treating yourself.
We know many of you enter these giveaways hoping to surprise someone special or to add a few new favorites to your own collection. A $500 gift card can cover a stunning statement necklace, a few pairs of signature earrings, or one standout piece paired with a small splurge for friends or family. The Color Bar is especially handy if you want to choose custom stones and metal tones to match someone’s signature style.
- PRIZE: A $500 gift card redeemable at Kendra Scott
- TO ENTER: Originally we asked readers to comment on the post with the words “JEWEL ME!” and to share how they planned to celebrate (or not) for Valentine’s Day.
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us whether you had a special date night planned, were sending kids to school with cards, or simply treating the day like any other — we enjoyed reading all the different ways readers celebrate.
