With Día del Amor y la Amistad just a few weeks away, it’s time to start thinking of what to gift your special sugarplum for Saint Valentine’s Day.

Forget flowers and chocolate and give the gift that will keep on giving, fashion!

Whether you’re in the market for a gift for your main man or a dainty little number for your special lady, the recently opened Will & Ives boutique in the Marina Village on Paradise Island has something for everyone. Carrying Juicy Couture for the ladies and Diesel for men, it’s an ideal spot to snag a nifty new piece to welcome spring.

We sat down with Kim Gibson of Will & Ives to get the dish on the lines they carry, the challenges of running a local boutique and what’s hot for spring.

What brands do you carry?

We carry the Juicy Couture line for women and the Diesel line for men. However, we have received so many requests to carry Diesel jeans for women that we have decided to do so however, these won't be in stock until summer 2012.

What are your price points?

Our items range from $20 to $300. The truth is, there is something for everyone at Will & Ives. We cater to those who are very trendy and those who are conservative.

What have been your main challenges thus far?

Prior to opening, financing was a bit of a challenge however, thankfully things have been going quite well with the store.
