THE VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

Gift Guides|February 7, 2020

Well well well, it’s that time of year guys! Valentine’s Day is next week, and I’m beyond excited!

A little known fact about me is Christmas is my first favorite holiday, but Valentine’s Day comes at a close second. It’s filled with so much love, laughter and it brings me joy knowing Spring is just around the corner. All of the pinks, purples, and reds put a smile on my face and getting to spend my 5th Valentine’s Day with my (now) husband is so special. But before you roll your eyes and assume that I only love this lovey-dovey holiday because I have Justin, stop right there! I’ve enjoyed this holiday ever since I was a kid because my mom would always make it a point to give my brother and I treats and small gifts the morning of. Yes, it’s OK for your mother to be your Valentine 😉

I wanted to create this Valentine’s Day Gift Guide to show you a few of my favorite things (as Julie Andrews would say) as gift ideas for your best gals, for yourself, or a hint-hint-wink-wink at your man!

Voluspa Cut Glass Jar Candle

Baltic Amber

I've mentioned this candle previously on my blog, and this is a candle I will always have on hand. The Baltic Amber scent is soooo amazing, I can't even describe it. It's the perfect year-round scent and I highly recommend snagging this for a loved one, but also for yourself! Under $30!

LUSH Bath Bomb

Butterball

Perhaps a bath is in order for your Valentine's Day? I've recently grown to be a bath-lover and try to soak the stress away 2-3 times a week if I can. After trying various bath bombs, both LUSH brand and others, I've come to love this Butterball one the most. Ulra moisturizing, inexpensive, and most importantly... it's free of sparkles and color, making it mess-free. Under $5!

Monogram Necklace

I linked this necklace in my previous post, but I wanted to showcase it again because it's so precious. I'm a huge advocate for Anthropologie jewelry, and when I received this necklace for Christmas, I was so happy! Because it's so delicate, it can easily be worn alone or paired with other necklaces! Under $40!

Mini Tea Rose 2-In-1 Stud Earrings

Silver

I've had these earrings for over a year, and absolutely love them. They're so delicate (my ideal kind of jewelry), and can be worn 2 different ways! You can wear them with the flower, or you can wear the studded Swarovski crystal center by itself. These would make such a sweet gift, and under $70!

Heritage Store Aura Glow Body Oil

Honeysuckle

I picked up this body oil for myself the other day, and I've been obsessed! The honeysuckle scent is to die for, and I've honestly been using it in place of perfume. I rub the oil on my wrists and my neck and the sweet honeysuckle scent really stands out. For my legs, I'll mix the oil with a non-scented lotion and my skin glows without having that slippery, oily feel. 10/10 recommend and under $15!

Outremer Eau De Toilette

Vanille

If oil isn't your thing, or if you just prefer an actual perfume, I highly recommend this one! I've shared this in a previous post, but I wanted to share again because it's one of my favorites. The bottle is so sweet, and the scent smells exactly as the name portrays - vanilla. You can't go wrong! The perfect gift, and under $20!

Charbonnel Et Walker Flavored Chocolates

Milk/Sea Salt Caramel

It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without chocolate! Although a pit pricey for something that will likely be gone within days of receiving, the idea of thin, salted caramel chocolates... there's not much else that sounds better. The packaging is high-class (I'm a sucker for packaging) and they look melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Under $40!

But really... we use our massage gun (this exact one) almost daily for sore muscles, OR right before workouts to warm up those muscles. This is a gift that keeps on giving, and 100000000% worth the money. Under $200!
