Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

It’s getting close to Valentine’s Day and we thought it might be fun to give you some fun ideas {for him & her}!

We put our heads together {actually last week} and came up with some pretty fun present ideas for those of you who have a hard time coming up with the perfect gift for your love.

Ladies First!

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Here’s the Breakdown:

1. Makeup Bag by Coach {Because what girl doesn’t love Coach & makeup}

2. Sweet Tulips by ProFlowers {Because tulips are something different and they last a long time}

3. Pink Lip Gloss by Mac {Because what gal doesn’t love shiny and smooth lips}

4. Valentine’s Day Card by Paper Source {Because if your girl is like me… a card makes her heart flutter}

5. Handbags by Juicy Couture {Because they last forever and they are adorable}

6. Stacking Rings by Amy Peters Studio {Because they have inspirational messages on each one}

7. Love Necklace by Erica Sara Designs {Because it says is all}

Now, moving on…

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Here’s the Breakdown:

1. A Giftcard to Starbucks{Because who doesn’t love a frappuccino}

2. Movie Tickets to AMC {Take him to a movie, his choice}

3. Chocolate Covered Strawberries by Edible Arrangements {Because what guy doesn’t like food}

4. Watch by Fossil {Because if your guy is like mine, he loves watches}

5. Fun Cup by RockScissorPaper {Because sometimes it is ok to be cheesy}

6. Super Mario for Wii by Target {Because we have it and love it- quality time with your Mr.}

7. Ipad By Apple {Because he is probably wanting one}

Why only 7 ideas for each? Because 7 +7=14 and that’s Valentine’s Day! {Call me a dork, I don’t care ;)}

These ideas are low-budget and won’t break the bank…

1. A stroll in the park or on the beach

2. A picnic dinner {or lunch}

3. Pizza & a Movie

4. Portrait Session

5. Tour an Historic Museum or Building

6. Play a sport together {like tennis- my guy loves this}

7. Take a leisurely bike ride around your neighborhood, park or bridge

8. Drive in Movie {we have one not too far away- really fun}

9. Pick up your Sunday newspaper and look up the local parade of new homes. Get in the car and visit three of the most expensive homes making believe that you’re really rich. {We love looking @ homes… it helps my husband is a realtor}

10. Take a stroll to your favorite ice cream shop. Get a cone or sundae and stroll down the city street to check out the shop windows. {This works since we live in Florida- grab coffee if you live where it is chilly}

11. Take a Dance Lesson for the Night

12. Get Tickets for a Local Dinner Theatre

13. Get Competitive & Go Go-Carting

14. Visit an Amusement Park

      Stephanie,
      It sounds great. I don’t have kids yet, but we are ‘down to earth’ and movie and dinner always sounds fabulous to us. I hope you get to go and enjoy a night together! P.S. I absolutely adore your canvas designs.

    I’m so honored that my LOVE necklace made this list!
    And I must admit, those chocolate covered strawberries are making me really hungry right now. What are the chances I’ll find a Valentine within the next 12 days? 😉

      Erica Sara,
      I love your ‘love’ necklace. It was a perfect addition to the Valentine Gift Round-up! I know… the Chocolate Strawberry pic inspired me to go grocery shopping for some super red strawberries and chocolate dip! You can absolutely get a Valentine in 12 days… I am crossing my fingers! You have a lot to offer!!

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best! Love his little heart shaped nose! #nationalpetday #minigoldendoodle #goldendoodle Dog bed from @tjmaxx . . . #lakewoodranch #bestdog #beatdogever #furbabies #dogbed #bohodog #sarasota #dogsofinstagram

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi! The music came on and I was watching this beautiful girl I had prayed and dreamt about twirl around. I was instantly overcome with emotion and gratitude! God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
