Welcome to "Gifted" Plumtv.com's weekly posts of gifts we'd love to give (and maybe receive!).

We can't deny that we're happy spring is finally in the air. The daffodils are perking up and the sun is clearly trying to cheer us up. After a long winter, we're only 40+ days away from Race Week. So, while we daydream, we'll also indulge in all things "sail-themed."

Our friends and fashion mavens Cory and Jeremy of valetmag.com have done a roundup of simple anchor-themed trimmings.

They write, "Indulge in the trappings of a life aquatic. Hence, the age-old icon of the sea—the anchor—seems to be dropping everywhere . . . ."
