This is the first year that I’ll be able to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my little girl, even if she is still in my belly! Because I’m planning to do a few special things for both our children {can’t believe we’ll have two soon!}, I wanted to share two gift guides. One for little girls and one for little boys. But really, aside from a few clothing options, most of these gifts can work for either! Let’s face it, there were just too many cute styles to choose from, so I had to make two gift guides. I mean, I just shared my favorite girly bows, shoes, and outfits, but there are so many adorable options out there. Target and Old Navy both had the sweetest Valentine’s Day gift options for kids at affordable prices. Augustine LOVES his wagon, so I thought if your tot didn’t already have one, it would be a fun surprise for Valentine’s Day. Especially if it had some toys {like this cuddly elephant!} or treats inside.

Of course, Augustine is the one who will really be able to enjoy Valentine’s Day this year. He had so much fun helping me decorate and bake for Christmas, that I know he’ll enjoy this holiday too. One of my sweet readers {hi Sandra!} sent him this Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse book last year and it’s still one of his favorites. I’m thinking I’ll probably grab him this V-Day themed book this year, too! He loves trucks, so similar to the wagon idea, I thought I could put a few little fun Valentine card making goodies in the back of this truck for him to play with. He’s been obsessed with playing with my planner stickers lately, so I think he will love to decorate cards with stickers too. I also thought I would throw up a few cute decorations like these balloons or this heart banner to make it feel really festive for him!

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: For Him

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: For Him

Normally I have Matthew help round up the best gifts for any of my gift guides for men, but this year I figured I’d keep the romance alive and let him off the hook for Valentine’s Day. He does pick the best gifts though and I always get lots of notes about how funny his writing is! Here’s his Holiday Gift Guide if you missed it!

If your boyfriend or husband is anything like Matthew, he probably won’t wear anything too red or pink, even if it is Valentine’s Day. I chose more neutral shades to ensure he’ll actually use the gifts I give him. I know he’ll love having this classic chambray shirt when the weather gets warmer and these leather tennis shoes are just too cool to pass up!

I’m always trying to encourage Matthew to use my skincare products but I don’t know, maybe they’re too girly for him or something. I thought he might like a product from a men’s line and I love that Counterman is a cleaner option since they ban over 1500 harmful or questionable ingredients. Their Toner Pads would be a great product for him to throw in his gym bag, or use for an easy routine at home. If Matthew does anything with his skin, he wants it to be fast and easy. These toner pads include a blend of witch hazel and green tea extract and they remove residual dirt and excess oil, plus they tighten pores and improve the appearance of skin. I have a feeling Matthew will love them, especially since they include bergamot and vetiver essential oils. So woodsy and fresh! Next up, I’ll introduce him to this exfoliating cleanser,because he needs to know how fun it is to exfoliate! lol!

Soon we’ll have two babies and that means we’ll be bringing twice as much stuff with us when we leave the house! I think Matthew would love this navy backpack and I could totally see him using it for work.

You can never go wrong with a shiny new pair of sunglasses or a high-quality pair of headphones. For your favorite mixologist, check out this gorgeous bar tool set! Alright, this one might be a gift for me too once I’m no longer pregnant lol! I love the idea of creating a little bar gift set with these unique glasses and a drink kit designed to make Old Fashioned cocktails.

Men may not appreciate romantic gestures as much as we do, but I had to include some romantic gift ideas! This custom star map is so unique. We’re planning on getting one for Augustine that shows what the stars looked like on the day and in the location of his birth, but this would be so sweet as a Valentine’s gift. You could use the date and location of your first date, proposal, wedding, or really any moment that’s important to you. I also thought picking up a city guide like this one for a trip you’re planning to take together {or even your own city} would be a fun way to find new things to do together. And of course, a candle with a romantic, woodsy scent, had to make the cut!

Gift Guide: For the Last-Minute Gifts

Soooo…Christmas is next Tuesday. As in a week from today! How did that happen?! Sometimes no matter how much you prepare, it’s hard to get all of your shopping done in advance. There’s no shame in the overnight shipping game! I wanted to round up some really lovely last-minute gifts that are all available on Amazon, that way you can avoid the crowds and get your gifts delivered quickly. All of these gifts are Prime shipping eligible so you should be able to get them in one or two days with free shipping!

Of course I had to include gifts for everyone on your list, so hopefully you’ll see something that works for the ladies, men, and tiny tots in your life!

For the out of town visitors, it’s always nice to gift them something that will make their trip home easier. Holiday travel is no joke! These little TSA approved cocktail kits will be greatly appreciated after a stressful day at the airport. A warm scarf is one of my airplane essentials and this scarf comes in 22 great prints and shades. I included a few more travel inspired gifts in this gift guide for in-laws!

This suitcase is for children, but to be honest, I want it for myself. It’s so chic! Plus it will help them carry all their toys from Santa Clause home! A fluffy teddy bear is a pretty classic Christmas gift and will provide snuggles on cold nights.

If you’re looking for a joint gift for your favorite couple, these classic his and hers watches should be a crowd pleaser. Or you could gift a nice bottle of champagne with these modern champagne flute so they can ring in the New Year in style. A chic coffee table book that matches their decor, interests, or reminds them of a beloved trip is thoughtful and something they can both enjoy. Maybe you want to splurge! If so, no coffee lover would turn down this elegant espresso maker {more gift ideas for the coffee lover this way!}. If tea is more their taste, this gorgeous clear tea pot comes with flowering tea. Isn’t that pretty?!

For the lady that deserves to treat herself, pair an exfoliating face mask with a rich facial oil to smooth and soothe dry winter skin. For the glam gal, these luxurious makeup brushes will enhance her morning routine. If you happen to know her favorite perfume, don’t be afraid to help her stock up on it! Did you catch this beauty lovers gift guide with even more gift ideas?!

Last minute hostess gifts are surprisingly easy to grab off Amazon too! Candles or beautifully wrapped soap sets are chic and will be appreciated by any hostess. Did you know you can order flowers on Amazon?? Surprise her with a gorgeous bouquet she can enjoy all week. Or if you’d like more hostess gift ideas, check out this roundup of hostess gifts!

We can’t forget man’s best friend of course! How adorable is this pet bed tent?! Ginger would be in heaven!
