Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: For Her

If I’m being completely honest with you, I feel like Valentine’s Day is usually wasted on men. They just don’t have as much fun with it as us ladies do! It makes sense. Flowers, lace, candles, PINK, it’s a pretty girly holiday. Which is why I like to celebrate my favorite ladies on Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day {the best holiday ever on February 13th!}I really wanted to do a little party this year, but with the baby coming so soon, I figured it was best not to plan anything lol! But, I still had time though to pick out some really cute Galentine’s Day gifts for my best gal pals!

I love the idea of gifting these very kissable beauty products! A lip scrub and lip gloss just feels so appropriate for this holiday. So do these adorable conversation heart bath bombs.

I already rounded up some of my favorite Valentine’s Day themed pajamas here, but I love that this pair really could be worn all year round and is just so feminine. I’ve had these Comme des Garçons Converse on my wishlist for years and think they are cute for everyday wear, but especially for Valentine’s Day!

I’m sure a pretty set of mugs or a fun book would also be appreciated! And how cute would it be to send these cookies to a girlfriend who lives far away?!

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!

For more gift ideas, you can take a look at last year’s Valentine’s Day guide for men or even the more recent holiday gift guide from December! Matthew and I have been together so long that we’ve already gotten each other soooo many gifts. I would love to hear any creative gift ideas you have for the men in your life!
