Lovers, I’ll be honest, Valentines has never been my favorite holiday. It’s not that I don’t love love- I do! And it’s not that I don’t love telling people that I love them- I really do! Also- I love presents, so it’s not that I’m anti-present! I think my issues with Valentines is that there can often feel like there’s a lot of pressure, that some things get forced, and my internal debate about whether flowers and nice dinner because you “have to” are romantic. In past years, I’ve been a bit more anti-Valentines, but with the pandemic and missing friends and family I’ve warmed up to the holiday. I’ve had fun sending Valentines in the mail to friends, buying flowers for family, making special dinners. AND I’ve really enjoyed giving and getting presents to my loved ones. As we head into another Valentine’s season I’ve rounded up some gifts that I love. Some might be for you, your mom, sisters, friends, or anyone who might need a little love note for you!

Hearts
I’m very picky when it comes to heart jewelry. However, lately I’ve been very into heart shaped lockets! And from there finding just sweet enough (but not too sweet) heart jewelry has been a bit easier. I love all of these and I know you or your loved ones will too!
Shoes and Bags
If there are shoes or bags that you or someone you love wants then you should get them, but if not- might I recommend some of these shoes or bags? Just a bit themed but chic for year round use!!
For Him/the House
A few things for him, a few things for the house, a few wine glasses for everyone!
For You
I can’t resist shopping for me (ever), so I’ve rounded up some of the red and pink, somewhat seasonal items on my wishlist right now. For you, for friends, for family, these picks are perfect for the holiday and beyond!
What are your thoughts on Valentine’s Day? Have they changed over the course of the pandemic? This year what are you doing to celebrate? I hope that no matter what, this year Valentines is a day when you feel loved- and if you get gifts they’re fantastic!
