GIFT IDEAS FOR HER (YOUR GALENTINE):
The At-Home Spa Pampering Package for the Mrs.
The gals in your life work hard. Whether it be a mom, sister, best friend, grandma, MIL, etc., give the gift of total relaxation. Whether it be with restorative beauty treatments, rich moisturizing lotions, aromatherapy back wraps, oil diffusers, or bath soaks. Fragrant candles and scented hand soaps are another great addition. These are just a few of the many indulgences that your favorite Galentine’s will love. Comfort her with a cozy bathrobe and slippers so she can really get the full at-home spa experience. Let her be pampered this Valentine’s Day.
Jewelry, for the Lady
This would be a cute time to get one of your best gal’s something sweet like a monogram chain or initial necklace in silver or gold. Or a fun charm bracelet that she could start collecting charms and adding to each year. Delicate ring stacks are also sweet and subtle. A little piece of jewelry is always a cute little memento that they can wear on them everyday to be reminded of you.
The Gardening Gal
Do your gals like to garden, have a greenthumb and enjoy flowers? With spring just around the corner, give the gift of enhancing their home gardens. Or better yet, bring the outdoor gardens indoors with a wide variety of lush options. From succulents, planter kits or bouquets of fresh flowers from your local floral market. It will bring life to their household and make it bloom with color!
Wine + Chocolates for Your Sweet GF
Ok, let’s be honest – this one might be a favorite for most of our Galentine’s. Most women love wine and chocolate. Why not put together a cute gift basket starring one of her favorite red or white wines. You could accompany it with a couple kitschy wine glasses with fun sayings or sophisticated stemless glassware that show you care. Finally, add some nice rich chocolates to your basket which will satisfy your BFF’s sweet tooth.
GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM:
Mr. Home Chef
Does your husband or significant other like to chef it up in the kitchen? Get him some clever kitchen gadgets which have endless advantages in the kitchen. Like an egg cooker or an avocado saver. Another great idea is a new knife set which will help improve his chopping skills. These kitchen hacks and tools will help improve and add efficiency in the kitchen which any man will appreciate.
The Tech-Savvy Guy
Hook your S.O. or man up with some electronics such as headphones this year because who wouldn’t love the gift of music or be able to escape into a podcast for a while. Other great Valentine’s day gift ideas are wireless accessories, like battery packs, and other phone gadgets or accessories. Tools that will help make your honey’s life easier and sweeter.
The Bartender
Any whiskey connoisseurs or cocktail drinkers in your life? Upgrade their glassware with stylishly boxed low ball glasses and a decanter set. You can even get glasses monogrammed with their initials on them for that extra amount of class. Add a set of personalized whiskey stones so they can keep their drinks chilled. This gift is one that will surely raise the bar.
The Sports Fanatic
For the sports guru in your life, get him something that pays homage to his favorite sports team. Or gear he can bring with him to games like coolers, BBQ cooking tools, tailgating chairs and clear tote bags with NFL logos. He’ll be sure to love rooting for his team or player decked out in the latest fan gear. Another great Valentine’s Day gift idea for someone you love.
FOR YOUR LITTLE LOVES:
I’m a huge believer in a sweet little box of chocolates for your little loves. My dad used to always bring us home our own special box of heart-shaped chocolates each year growing up. It always made me feel so special and loved. All kids will love it too, I’m certain of it.
You also can never go wrong with a sweet, personalized letter to show someone how much you love them. Sure, you can always tell someone to their face, but there is something about having it written on paper that makes it so special. That way you can look back and read it year after year. It’s a love letter you can always take with you. You could even personalize it by drawing or making your own from scratch. Or, if you’re not feeling creative, you could always purchase some beautiful stationary. So, a nice little note is never overrated or will go overlooked. It’s just as special a way to share your feelings and tell someone how much you love them.
Fashionably,
Bailey
