Valentines Day is just a few weeks away! If you’re anything like me it takes about that long to decide what to do for your hubby! So to help us alllll out this year, I rounded up the men in my life so I could ask them all what they would want. I’m talking Joe, my dad, brother in laws, heck even some of the workers that have been in and out of the house! I’ve rounded up all their suggestions and listed the best Valentines Gift Ideas for Him! The best part is the majority are under $50!

Since Valentines Day is all about celebrating the one you love most,so I tried and think of experiences for gifts too, instead of just things. With that in mind, I quizzed the men on this too and here’s what I came up with as my favorites!

Date Night Away : I’ve talked about it here before, but date night is of course our favorite. With Joe working a lot, any one on one time we can get is cherished. Since Valentines is a special occasion, I think it would be fun to try and plan a date night away. Nothing too crazy, and still close to home, but enough to get some extra time together. With the invite you could include a gift card for dinner, movie tickets, and a gift card to Victoria Secret…because lets be honest, that’s probably the top of most of their lists.

Golf Day : Our guys work hard and if yours are like Joe, rarely get a day to themselves. I think another great “experience” gift would be a golf day. More than just say “you can go golfing”, take the time to schedule a tee time for them!  You could even stick the details with the golf balls I included in the roundup above.

Couples Massage : Who doesn’t love a gift that is secretly a gift to themselves too? So we all need to take the time to relax and pamper ourselves a little.

If you’ve got any good Valentines gift ideas for him to add to the list, send them my way! I’ll add them here so everyone  can see!! You all always have the BEST ideas – and I can’t wait to hear what else you come up with!!

When I was growing up, my mom made holidays so special for us. Valentine’s was no exception and one of my favorite days of the year! Every year we would make yummy treats + Valentine’s Cards so we could package them up for the neighbors. Instead of delivering them like a normal gift, we would doorbell ditch them with the little surprise. We LOVED it and thought it was the best thing ever as kids.

Now fast forward to when we moved to California. I loved the tradition so much I wanted to do it with my little family. We loved it so much but I always thought it was weird nobody ever did the same to us. Yes I was that naive! I had no idea doorbell ditching your friends and neighbors wasn’t the norm! I’ve continued to do it with my kids and they really look forward to it. It is such an easy way to spread a little love around the neighborhood.

In addition to doorbell ditching the neighbors, I “secretly” do the same to my kids with their little gifts. Since it’s still pretty close to Christmas, I like to keep their gifts practical. I usually think of a theme to make it fun. In the past I have done swimming suits + flip flops on a year we were heading on vacation a few weeks later. If they need new shoes, or pajamas, I’ll tie that in. Combining the fun + practical makes it a win for both of us!

Another thing we have been loving is “dating” our little people. I talked about it being one of their favorite birthday gifts a few months ago, and now they want to do it all the time! The one on one time is something we all crave and it has been so fun! They have loved planning their little dates.

I’ve put together a little round up of some fun + practical gift ideas for your little ones! I’d love to hear what fun traditions you do for Valentines Day!

Valentine’s Day is almost here and I can’t wait!! I love that this holiday is all about celebrating the people you love. Whether it’s a significant other, your little people, or your favorite girlfriends. It’s such a fun day!  As much as I love the typical gifts that tend to go along with this holiday, I thought it would be fun to round up something a little different. I’ve put together a list of the things I think most women would really want. Whether you need some inspiration for you favorite friends, or need to throw some hints your husbands way, I think you’ll love these 5 out of the box gift ideas!

• Something for the Home…

I love getting something new for my home, especially during the lull of winter when you are stuck inside. My favorite thing to help brighten up the space is a new plant or cute pot to bring some life in. Adding that fresh aspect can change the feel of the space. New pillows are a fun way to easily change up a room too! If you’ve been here for a while, you know I have an obsession with these cute bowls too. They come in a million colors and you can never have too much ice cream right?!

• Something Cozy + Relaxing…

With a lot of your time inside during the winter, I’m all about being cozy and relaxed. I’m guilty of not remembering to take some me time. Whether its a warm bubble bath, or snuggling up in my favorite robe and slippers, I don’t think there is a woman out there that wouldn’t want to just relax!

• Something to Help Take Care of You…

As women I think we all love buying makeup for ourselves, but it’s not always the same when it comes to skincare. Our focus is usually on taking care of others, and we don’t remember to take care of us. I’ve mentioned before, but as I’m getting older I’m really trying to up my skincare game and these are some of my favorites!

• Something to Boost Your Fitness Game…

With a New Year comes new goals, and for a lot of us trying to up our fitness game is part of that. Whether its getting to the gym or just getting out and being more active with your people. I’m always a little more motivated when a cute outfit or accessories are involved and these are some of my favorites!

• Something to Grow Your Relationships…

My favorite gift for any occasion is time with my people. Whether its dinner + a movie with Joe or lunch and shopping with girlfriends, they are always my favorite gifts. Nothing beats the gift of time.

I hope these out of the box gift ideas can help spark the idea you’re looking for (or your significant other) haha! I’d love to hear your favorite gift ideas for the ones you love too! Also if your still looking for ideas for the men in your life I rounded up the  men in my life and asked them all what they would wanted HERE.
