The season of love is upon us ladies and gentleman, and whether you're celebrating the day with your galentines or with your significant other, I wanted to create a one stop shop for that special person in your life to find the perfect gift!
I have curated this list of items from things that I either personally have and love, or things that I would love to receive on February 14th! I do have some mixed feeling about Valentine's Day, and I'm sure you do as well. I feel like you either love or hate the holiday, but oddly enough that's not quite how I feel about it either...
As someone that has been in a relationship for what feels like forever, one from age 14-18, and then one that started promptly after I escaped from that first one, that includes the guy that will one day be my husband, I've never "hated" Valentine's Day the way that single people do. Rather I feel that it's kind of a useless holiday... For those of us that are in a relationship, we celebrate big milestones every year, like anniversaries. Whether it's the day we started dating, or eventually our marriage anniversary, there is one special day every year where we treat ourselves to delicious (and more expensive than usual) dinner, wine, flowers that end up dying and sprinkling leaves all over my kitchen table, stuff like that.
So on top of celebrating that day, we are also expected to celebrate on February 14th, the day of love. While I do love the pink and red, and the XOXO home decor, I just can't help but feel bad for the people that are alone and have to endure Valentine's Day. It just seems like another day to remind yourself that you're either so lonely, or another day to have to spend $100 on a nice bottle of wine with your spouse. You pick. I guess I feel like the holiday is super unnecessary, but so is #NationalGrilledCheeseDay if you want my honest opinion about it. By the way, Happy #NATIONALCROISSANTDAY... See what I mean? LOL
Okay now you all know my thoughts on the holiday, and of course I do still love to buy friends and family sweet gifts for any occasion, which is why I put together this list of great buys! Some are super cheap and easy, thoughtful gifts, and some are on the higher end for those very special people in your life. The perfume I added is one that I use EVERY day, and swear by. And the slippers and sneakers are must have shoes in your closet, that anyone will love.
Now that you've heard my thoughts on it, I want to hear yours! Tell me how you feel about Valentine's Day in the comments below, and be sure to subscribe to my blog with your email in my sidebar so you can see when my new blog posts go live, I've got some awesome stuff coming up and even a giveaway that you won't want to miss ;)
