Jewelry Box Gifts for Valentine's Day

Jewelry is usually at the top of every girl's Valentine's Day wish list. But let's think inside the box for a minute. With all the fine and costume baubles, charms, statement pieces, studs, hoops and chandelier earrings we've accumulated, we need a pretty place to store them. So a jewelry box (or few)-- like the decorative-yet-practical Jewellery Boxes from H. Samuel-- is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day.

Everything She Wants is partial to stackable jewelry trays (photo below) that fit neatly inside a dresser drawer. This is a great way to organize your jewelry by type (bracelets in one tray and earrings and necklaces in their own trays).

And for a dresser top, nothing beats your Mom's classic, multi-section jewelry box (top photo) that will store all your jewelry stash with ease.

If you have a bigger bedroom or closet space, you can fit most of your collection in a stand-alone jewelry armoire. But beware, these can look cluttered in smaller bedroom spaces.

Women with a bohemian sensibility love hand-painted wooden boxes.

For little girls, tweens and girly teens there's nothing more precious than a musical jewelry box with a princess or a ballerina on top. Who are we kidding, we want one too!

When traveling, make sure to keep your jewels safely stores in a foldable jewelry bag.

As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
