It’s slowly approaching everyone… the holiday that makes you stuff your face with chocolate no matter what your relationship status is! That’s right, Valentine’s day is just around the corner. Whether you have a significant other or not, this is a day where you deserve to treat yo self! If you are struggling with ideas for your significant other (or even for yourself!), you’re in luck! I have made a list of ideas to melt the hearts of the one you’re shopping for.
First I’ll start with some ideas for my ladies! These are little things that I have come across & adore myself. I provided the prices and links to each of the items! Aside from these ideas in particular, some shops I would recommend would be:
-Anthropologie
-So Chic Boutique (in Peoria Heights or Morton- they also have an online store!)
-Starbucks: they have the cutest mugs/bottles
-Kate Spade: for adorable jewelry pieces or accessories
-Lush
Adorable monogram necklace ($58): https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/monogram-gem-necklace?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=000
The BEST smelling candle ($30):
Cutest Monogram Mug ($10):
I adore these little notebooks! ($15):
Timeless leather bracelet ($27):
I mean, have you ever met a girl who doesn’t love bath bombs?! (prices vary)
A create-your-own Kendra Scott necklace! Not only will she adore this, you can customize it especially for her ($65):
Now, some ideas for the fellas! I sometimes struggle with finding the perfect gift for guys… whether it be my dad, brother, or bf! When it comes to finding the right gift, I have found have the most luck when trying to incorporate their personal interests such as favorite teams, music, hobbies, etc. Here are a few specific ideas that I have come across! Provided are the links and prices of each item. A few places I love to shop for guys include:
-Rambler (for my locals! Located in Peoria)
-Urban Outfitters
-Nike/Adidas
-Lucky Brand
A customizable leather bracelet! I did this for my boyfriend last year with coordinates on it & he loves it. (prices vary)
For all the music lovers, I love the idea of a record player! If you’re lucky, you can catch a great sale on Urban Outfitters. ($99)
You can never go wrong with a trendy graphic tee!
Poster for their favorite TV show/music artist! ($10)
A gift they will both love & use! Make it for their favorite team or favorite brand! ($29)
Also!!! If you know of a store that your significant other loves but don’t know where to start, you may be in luck! I would suggest checking out their online store as some have a special “Valentine’s Day” section to shop through! I know this is the case for stores such as Free People, Nordstrom, The Paper Source, & others!
I hope those ideas helped a little on your quest for the perfect Valentine’s day gifts! Lastly I want to mention a couple of ideas that are perfect for your boyfriend or girlfriend that top any gift that you could ever buy. These gifts include photo albums, pictures, or any homemade one-of-a-kind gifts! There is nothing that your significant other will cherish more than something that you made yourself and they can keep forever. Having these gifts to look back on as the years go by is even better!
Happy shopping loves!!!
Xoxo,
Ashley
