Valentine's Day: Gift Guide 2021
We’re still kind of in shock that we’re already basically in February- time is flying! We actually were ahead of the game this year and wanted to put together some of our favorite VDAY Gifts for you. In all honesty, I’m not a HUGE VDAY person - my favorite past holidays have been spent ordering in lots of sushi, a great bottle of wine and watching a good movie with Ry. I don’t love all the pressure built up around it and the fact that it’s just one day.
However, in knowing that Valentine’s Day is a little different this year - if you’re not celebrating it with your partner, all the better to create a night for YOU or a virtual night for your girls to grab the same masks, treats and connect on life.
FOR HER:
1. The Handmade Soap Company - Because You’re Amazing Gift Box
What else is there to say? The name of this gift box says it all - Because You’re Amazing. This set brings the gorgeous scent of lemongrass and cedarwood to your shower routine, complete with a Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Hand Cream!
Price: $55
2. Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Women's Ribbed Socks
We know, we know- socks, but until you’ve been given the gift of Barefoot Dreams, you won’t get it. These socks come in different colors and are perfect to keep her warm and cozy throughout the colder months.
Price: $18
3. HALLUCI Cross Band Soft Plush Slippers
I wear my slippers EVERY. DAY. Their plushness makes it easy for your feet to stay warm all day/night while walking around, yet allows some air in with the open toe.
Price: $25.99
I’m a little Zodiac-obsessed, so love that one of my favorite accessories brands has their Astrology necklaces. Love how dainty it is, and could act as a great layering piece. The personalization factor with her sign, goes a long way too!
Price: $90
Rosé all day. This website offers different stylized boxes, a fun way to personalize for her.
Price: $99
6. The Adventure Challenge Couples Camera Set
If you’re looking for a gift that will combine adventure and memories- this is the one for you. With this book as your guide, you and your significant other will grow in new levels of your relationship through 50 adventures and experiences you will never forget. The catch? Your adventure is a mystery until you scratch off a challenge. It’s like scratching a lottery ticket but you win each time! Whether you’re cooking a delicious apple pie (blindfolded), recreating your grandparents' very first date, or painting a masterpiece on a unique canvas…all of these are example challenges in the book to do together. The best part: the company has teamed up with the award-winning Lomography Automat Instant Camera, allowing you to capture all of these moments to look back on.
Price: $148
All for the mood lighting and there’s a reason this baby has been sold out forever. Most lights keep us up. Even bedroom lighting. Glow is truly the light for magical sleep — a light that helps us wind down naturally for better, deeper sleep. She will be thanking you for months to come.
Price: $129
8. Krewe Sunglasses AUBRY | PETAL
A great pair of sunnies is the best way to accessorize any outfit. I’m a huge KREWE fan and their glasses that helm from New Orleans come in all different unique styles. They sell out quickly, so be sure to get on it!
Price: $235
FOR HIM:
While the majority of us are still working from home, helping him set up the best office environment (esp. if you’re working from home togetther), will go a long way. This stand is great on top of any desk, to make working from home that much easier. Say goodbye to the kinks in your neck or bad tension headaches, this will prevent all.
Price: $26
2. Scentbird Cologne Subscription
He either has his scent or is stumped on what he actually likes. A man that smells incredible is a win-win for me. I love that Scentbird’s cologne subscriptions allow him to try out a different scent each month, to find the one that he’s most interested in.
Price: $14.95/month
3. The Lawn Mower Electric Razor/ Body Trimmer
Every guy needs a good body razor, and this one has got you covered. Perfect for any place on the body, this Razor has been all the rage and has incredible reviews.
Price: $80
4. YETI Daytrip Lunch Bag Cooler
One of my brother-in-law’s favorites, the YETI cooler is the best bag for a day trip, especially for tailgating at a big game one day.
Price: $79.99
5. Audio-Technica - Bluetooth Stereo Turntable
I have always loved connecting with people through music. Vinyl players are a beautiful decoration for the house, especially when they are able to still spin records. This one operates more like a speaker, but still has that authentic vibe to it.
Price: $150
Men deserve a comfy robe too! The UGG robes are so soft, luxurious and perfect to unwind in.
Price: $145
We have heard so many amazing things about these running shoes. Apparently they truly feel like you’re running on a cloud, being so comfortable beneath your feet and so light. A great gift for the man who loves to run, hike and workout.
Price: $130
8. Glass Top Cedar Humidor with Front Digital Hygrometer
This humidor box can be personalized with his initials and comes with a hygrometer. It can hold up to 25-50 of his favorite cigars. This box looks good no matter the room it is in, because of its elegance, yet still is extremely resourceful. Every cigar smoker or collector needs one.
Price: $100
FOR YOU:
1. Bliss Rose Gold Rescue Foil Sheet Mask
Nothing is better than treating yourself to a spa day at home. With Bliss’s Rose Gold sheet mask and some nice bath bombs, you can make yourself feel extra relaxed right in your own bathroom. Perfect for a spa night in.
Price: Mask $4
Bath soak $28
I totally jumped on the wine subscription train this year, and so happy I did. I love trying the different options every month and learning what I personally enjoy more of. The price tag is not crazy either - I would spend that in one trip to the liquor store.
Price: $33/month
I featured this facial steamer on the Today Show, and I selfishly can’t personally get enough of it. Continuing on with the theme of treating yourself this year, this 10 minute treatment will totally help you feel more relaxed and help open up the pores in your skin, flushing out many impurities. Being that I haven’t been able to hit a steam shower these last nine months, I try to steam my face at least once a week. Trust me, your skin will thank you later.
Price: $39.99
4. Bodum Chambord Copper French Press, 8 Cup
If you need coffee to function like I do, this is a great gift to treat yourself. An easy way to make rich coffee in the morning, is by simply adding a coarse-ground coffee and hot water, steep, then plunge—the integrated filter presses the grounds to the bottom of the container, and the included pour spout and filter ensure drip-free pouring. Plus it’s a pretty statement piece on your kitchen counter.
Price: $50
5. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Value Kit
I have been trying to give my hair as much attention as I put towards my skin. This set of shampoo, deep condition mask and hair oil from Briogeo, is perfect for your dehydrated hair and broken ends. This magic set will restore your hair and give it the shine, volume and smoothness you need.
Price: $60
6. IDA The Four Steps Gift Set
The last product to treat yourself with is this four step gift set from IDA. Complete a dry Body Brush (obsessed), Citrus Body Wash, Body Scrub and Body Lotion, it has everything you need to make sure your body is smooth and exfoliated this winter.
Price: $50
This PJ set comes with a short sleeve top and shorts. Perfect for those who sleep with many covers or a weighted blanket, and become too hot in long sleeves at night. This set is super chic, yet still has that comfortability factor.
Price: $100
