My friend/intern Jess and I recently met and were chatting about upcoming Valentines Day – and Valentine’s Day gifts. The first question that always pops into my head when I think ‘Valentine’s Day is coming up’ is ‘What am I going to get Doug that he will actually like?!” I know, not very romantic. lol! I mean, what do you buy your partner this year for Valentine’s Day? Well, Jess put together a wonderful Gift Guide to help us all out!
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you’re probably thinking, “CRAP! I cannot buy another pack of underwear with hearts on them!” I’m guilty of this actually… I’m also guilty of not really putting much effort into Valentine’s Day gifts and usually just going for some chocolates and a nice dinner with the hubs. And although I’m a firm believer that you should show your significant other love every single day, it is nice to get a sweet, sentimental gift on February 14th. So forget the boring old chocolates and flowers, and follow my Valentine’s Day gift guide!
Gift Ideas for Him:
1. This amazing gift comes from flaviar.com. It’s a bunch of little whiskey bottles that your man can taste right from home while watching some type of sports broadcast! I think this is awesome, and I kind of want this for myself. It comes with three 45 ml bottles of Scotch Whiskey and a little guide to help deifier the flavors. You can get two months for only $50!
2. This is something that my hubby could totally use to help keep that sexy facial hair of his under wraps in between haircuts. This is the fusion contemporary shaving kit. I know, the price is a little steep and I’m sure there are other ones online that are more budget friendly. But what I like about it, is that its small and compact so it won’t take up too much bathroom space!
3. This is ADORABLE! Personalized collar stays! If there is one thing that it totally sexy, it is a man in a suit. And what better way to express your love for your hardworking man than to create personalized love notes for his collar. It may sound corny, but if he’s having a bad day at work, this could totally brighten up his mood! You can find these at personalcreations.com
Gifts Ideas for Her:
1. This lovely gift is called a “Flatterbox.” Basically you can create a bunch of cute notes as to why you love your girl so much and she can go back and look at every time you piss her off, and it’ll make her smile and forgive you! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
2. When you’re in a relationship, you take lots of pictures. I know my phone is filled with pictures of Austin and I doing endless weird things. At some point though you may need to delete some of those pics in order to take even more weird, random photos. Why not take all those pictures and make a little book out of them? Your girl will melt in your hands when you hand her your own love story you created via picture book! Artifactuprising.com can help you make this!
3. The cherry on top is always jewelry. But not just any ol’ jewelry – it has to be meaningful jewelry! Nothing is more special to your partner than giving them a piece of handmade, genuine sterling silver jewelry that was designed for spooners everywhere. And what better way to show love to your personal little “spoon” than Jamie Otis™ spooning jewelry! Make sure to check out JamieOtis.com/shop/ to see all of the amazing pieces to choose from!
