Valentine Gift Boutique Featured Store: Red Envelope
Launched in 1999, RedEnvelope’s mission is to make gift giving - no matter what the occasion or circumstance - simple and fun. Through a unique assortment of gifts, many created exclusively for Red Envelope, and their easy to use Web site and seasonal catalogs, they offer a shopping experience that’s inspired, modern and convenient.
The name RedEnvelope comes from an Asian tradition in which gifts are often presented in a simple red envelope - a timeless symbol of good fortune, love and appreciation. Red Envelope believes that whether a gift is a token of gratitude or a grand gesture of love, its giving and receiving is a cherished occasion in itself.
Valentine Gift Boutique Featured Store: Macys.com
Macy's was founded in 1851 by Rowland Hussey Macy as a dry goods store in downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts. In 1858, Macy moved to New York City and founded a new store named R.H. Macy & Company on the corner of 14th Street and 6th Avenue, which later moved to 18th Street and Broadway on the "Ladies' Mile", the 19th century elite shopping district, where it remained for nearly 40 years.
Guinness World Records lists Macy's Herald Square flagship as the world's largest department store building, with 198,500 m² (2,150,000 ft²) of selling floor. However, some claim that other stores are larger, such as the GUM store in Moscow, Russia, or Tobu's Ikebukuro branch in Tokyo.
