Do I need a reason to wear red and eat chocolate and shower my loved ones with gifts? No, I do not. But, do I appreciate it? Yes, I do! Chris and I keep it low-key for Valentine's Day, gifting each other something small and indulging in a date night at home. And we love to get something small for our girls. It's fun to show them that Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love — it's about everyone you love. I'm rounding up a few of my favorite things to give this February, and I'm checking off my parents, in-laws, and gal pals, too ;)
1. Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe | $119
I love layering a robe over pajamas on the weekend, and this one is unisex. Better than breakfast in bed, gift your sweetie something to snuggle in on a lazy Saturday morning. (Or, you know, gift this to yourself and make it your uniform for a cozy Valentine's Day in.)
2. LEGO Roses Building Set | $15
There's a big kid in all of us that would get a kick out of tinkering with some LEGOs this month. Wrapping this in a bow for our middle daughter to open on Valentine's Day (and I have a feeling they'll be in a vase by dinner).
3. CBD Massage Cube | $45
Gift this to your partner with the promise that you'll massage this "miracle cube" into their achy back, neck, and shoulders. The organic plant butters and oils soften skin while relaxing muscles.
4. New York Steaks Gift Box | $124
Dining out on the big day can sometimes be a bit chaotic, so gift your home's cook some nice steaks, and indulge in a fancy meal at your own dining room table. (Don't forget the candles.)
5. Skims Ruby Embroidered T-Shirt | $48
I'm a sucker for red, and this cute top that says "Rom Com" would look darling with a crimson lip. Perfectly paired with Fever Pitch for Galentines. (I'm actually texting this link to Chris right now.)
6. Catbird Baby Cygnet Ring | $138
This tiny ring could easily be gifted to a little girl — or a stylish adult with fashionable pinkies :) Make it extra special with a monogram--be still my heart.
7. Missoma Ridge Heart Charm Earrings | $149
I wear my heart on my earlobes :) I love how these glint and dangle, and I bet that unique shape will make you a shoe-in for gushy compliments.
8. Lovebug's Love Notes Bundle | $25
Our girls love writing little notes, and these cute cards have prompts to help them with what they want to say to their sisters, friends, and (hopefully!) their parents. This is one of those gifts that gives back.
9. Always Sweet Tote Bag | $16
I know at least one daughter who would swap out her backpack for this pretty pink tote in February. Drop a few Hershey kisses in the bottom for good measure (*wink*).
10. We’re Not Really Strangers Couples Edition Card Game $20
I love quizzing Chris on what he thinks about things, hearing about his favorite memories, and getting his insights on things I *thought* I knew. (After 15 years, he's still surprising me.) This is a deck we'll keep on the nightstand all year.
11. The Heartstagram | $70
I love gifting this heart-shaped matted frame! It's the sweetest gift for your partner, your parents, or even your bestie. One year, I gifted this to my sister with a picture of her two cats in it :) And I have 3 myself! It's a limited edition thing that only comes around this time of year, so pounce!
12. Vanity Planet Facial Steamer | $69
Gifting a facial steamer is like gifting a spa experience every night. It's warm and indulgent and mists all of those impurities right out of your pores. This is such a luxurious experience that will leave her (or him!) glowing.
13. Chocolate Gift Box | $35
I can think of about six girlfriends who would squeal over a fancy box of chocolates. Where my Galentines at??
14. Unify Co. Salt | $49
I ordered this fragrance for my Pura device and fell in love with it. I want to wear it! It's this sexy fragrance that smells like a brisk ocean breeze — with notes of citrus and musky amber. For him, her, and well... home.
15. Mini Tabletop Fire Pit | $34
Every night is s'mores night with this little tabletop "fire pit." It's safe for indoor or outdoor use and makes for a great date night. The flame lasts for 40-50 minutes, just enough time to perfect your mallow-toasting skills.
16. Personalised Couples Large Matchbox | $25
I love the ease of a lighter, but nothing beats striking a match, imo. This darling matchbox is customizable with you and your sweetie's initials, plus a significant year in your relationship. It's wooden and substantial and would make a great gift alongside a nice candle.
