Writing this blog was a labor of love. No really, my computer was trying to break my heart (pun intended) by acting up, but I digress! After the new year, we are all focused on our new goals and getting out of the holiday fog so often Valentine’s Day seems to sneak up on us. Added with the struggle of keeping Valentine’s Day fresh and exciting finding the perfect gift can be a difficult task. But do not fret, I have compiled the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift guide for you. Whether you are looking for a gift for your significant other, family, kids or a happy for your girlfriends, it is all covered!
Although I don’t go overboard for Valentine’s Day, it is a great reminder always to let the special people in my life know how much they mean to me. Honestly, there is nothing more fulfilling for me than the act of giving. Watching a person’s face light up as they open a gift feels my heart with joy!
I love to do gift baskets for the holidays! No, I am not talking about the ones you see at the grocery store. I like to get creative and make each gift unique to the person receiving it. For starters select a gift that will act as the vessel. Next, you want to “accessorize,” Y’all know I am all about accessorizing. Add fillers (gifts, favorite candy’s and drinks, etc.) into your basket to make it extra sweet! To finish, add some fun by stuffing with shredded crinkle paper, wrap in cellophane paper, and top with a festive bow. OH, and don’t forget a heartfelt card!
To complete your basket:
