Valentine's Day Gift Guide



Hello everybody! Today I wanted to help you out and give you a few gift ideas for that special man in your life on Valentine's Day! I wanted to share with you some things that I have gotten my husband in the past, and some things that I just think are a really good idea!

To me, some of the best gifts to give and receive are personalized and thoughtful. For example, handmade things weather if it's made by you or someone else. The best place for the best personalized gifts is hands down Etsy. You can seriously find anything and everything on their site. My favorite thing about this site is that you can choose to search things that are handmade by people, which is also a plus because I love supporting small businesses. All of these gifts are also budget friendly, and are less than $30. Okay enough talking, lets see the goods!

I got this for Trevor (my husband if you didn't know) last year, and I love it! I bought mine from the Etsy shop called Always a memory. I was extremely happy and totally satisfied with my order. The key chain turned out exactly how I wanted. In her shop you can see that she also makes things other than keychains like bracelets and necklaces. Trevor doesn't wear any type of jewelry except for his wedding ring so I of course opted for the keychain. I got in touch with the shop owner and she gave me a coupon code for you guys to get 10% off (does not include shipping). The code is : THANKYOU2014

As far as what writing to get on it, that's totally up to you. I think that if there is a saying or nickname or something personal that only your partner would know is the best. You could always find a cute quote about love, relationships, friendships, anything will work.

If your partner enjoys fishing and such this would be the perfect gift. This is a personalized fish hook from the Etsy shop CandTCustonLures. I think if you gave this as a gift to your husband or boyfriend they would just absolutely love it. It is so unique and so personalized, it would definitely be something that they would keep forever.

There are also a few DIY things that you could make that are just as special. I have made these both for Trevor, and he has loved them. The first thing I made for him was a calendar. The good thing about this is that you can take the pictures yourself. Well not really yourself but you don't have to hire a photographer to take them, since sometimes that can get a bit pricey. I had my best friend take the pictures for me. I had pictures of myself at the beach in my bathing suit and some were in sexy lingerie. If you don't feel comfortable with pictures like that you can always do pictures of you two on vacations or whatever you want. You can get these printed online and shipped to you for around $25 or less.

Another DIY gift you could make is a coupon book. All you would need it some writing utensils, card stock or just normal paper (I would recommend a thicker paper though), and some ribbon. You could write some favors that you could do like cleaning the house, giving kisses all day, or taking your partner out on a date. Get creative with it! When you're done writing them get a hole puncher and punch a hole in the top corner and put some ribbon through it, tie it, and there you go! A homemade coupon book.

I hope you all enjoyed these ideas, let me know if you decide to gift any of these things! I would love to hear what you are giving your partner for Valentine's day! I hope you all have a wonderful and special Valentine's day!
Until next time,
XOXO
