Last-Minute Valentine’s & Galentine’s Gift Guide with Lauren Tilashalski
Valentine’s and Galentine’s gifting season is officially in its “oh wait, that’s this week?” phase.
Moments like this are exactly why we created the CWPR Tastemakers series featuring Atlanta creators, movers, and shakers we trust to curate for us when we don’t have time to.
For our first edition, we tapped someone who understands the art of thoughtful gifting and intentional living better than most. Atlanta lifestyle creator Lauren Tilashalski is known for curating moments that feel equal parts polished and personal. Seriously, her recommendations are the kind that you screenshot, save, and actually use.
Whether you’re shopping for a partner, your best friends, or yourself (arguably the most important category), Lauren is sharing last-minute gifts that still feel elevated and intentional.
Because at the end of the day, great gifting isn’t about how early you ordered.
It’s about how well you know your people.
And Lauren? She gets it.
Don’t believe us? Sign up for The Lauren Letter, her weekly “love note” and a must-read that makes Fridays feel a little shinier.
