Gift Guide for Valentine's Day

Hello, loves! Valentine’s Day is exactly one month away, and I thought it would be helpful to share this gift guide with y’all for fun ideas!

Though Valentine’s Day isn’t as big of a gift holiday as Christmas or someone’s birthday, there’s still is a lot of thought and creativity that goes into it when getting something for your partner or spouse. I remember being in elementary school and when we would get boxes full of sweet cards from every student with kind messages and compliments, it was something I definitely enjoyed. I honestly wish we could still do stuff like that in adulthood! Though this year I don’t have a partner to get a gift for, I think it’s still fun to share ideas like these, which are also good for parents, siblings, friends or other relatives as a way to let them know how much you care about them!

After doing a little research, I believe these gift ideas listed above would be PERFECT for that special someone, female or male! The heart-shaped necklace, measuring spoons, and cast iron are so cute and fun with the holiday, and usable for all year round! I absolutely love the idea of the fondue set, especially if you’re planning to stay in for your date night! Nothing says I love you more than cheese and chocolate fondue! Speaking of chocolate, I found these boxes of champagne truffles that are very popular and bestsellers around the holiday, so it made sense to include them in the gift guide. I’ve never actually had them, but they sound delicious. So if you end up getting them, let me know if they’re worth the purchase! The ceramic blessings jar might be my personal favorite. I think it’s such a sweet idea to use it as a way to count your blessings and remember what you’re grateful for. Altar’d State also has a really cute one for $24.00! The coffee mug warmer is also a really nice idea for that coffee lover who’s always warming their mug up but might be tired of using the microwave constantly. Even if they don’t like coffee, it’s great for tea, hot chocolate, apple cider and other hot beverages! Lately, I’ve been loving rose water scents, which is why I think this candle from Target makes a great little gift. It also has a touch of peony in it, and can be used when springtime comes along! Lastly, the Fire Starter Stay Matte lip liquid is my current favorite red lipstick, which is perfect for any gal who loves a little pop of vibrance, especially for a holiday with red as a signature color ❤️

What are y’all’s plans for Valentine’s this year? Or Galentine’s? Or both? Comment below and share with me!

Last Minute Ideas for Christmas Gifts

Hey, y’all! It’s officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be any happier! I’ve been so eager to get into the Christmas spirit ever since the pandemic started 😂 Though this time of year can be super joyful and enchanting, it can also be a bit of a hassle, specifically when it comes to gift shopping. While I love gift-giving, I definitely struggle with trying to find the most unique and sweetest ideas that will light up the faces of my loved ones. Often I worry that someone is going to get me an amazing and thoughtful gift I didn’t ask for while I give them something that turns out to be not as special compared to what they got me. I also tend fall into the habit of waiting till it’s only weeks away from Christmas, thanks to something called finals week … Praise Jesus that I’m almost done with college for good! 🙌🏻

Thankfully, I have gotten a lot better at planning ahead, setting budgets and keeping track of what I want to get for everyone on my shopping list, and that’s what inspired me to make some gift guides to share on my blog. So if you’re like me when it comes to last minute shopping, this post is here to help ya out! I hope these ideas give you inspiration and reduce any stress you may be feeling at the moment. After all, it’s Christmas! It’s all about being joyful and not stressed out! So grab a mug full of hot chocolate, review this list, and shop away!

For Her

Top Row: Animal Print Sweatpants // Fuzzy Open-Toe Slippers

Middle Row: Olive & June’s Winter Collection // Personalized Starbucks Cup

Bottom Row: Blissy Silk Pillowcase

A few gift ideas for the ladies … Olive & June was kind enough to send me their latest 2020 Winter Collection featuring eight nail polishes (as well as a top coat polish!), and I’m absolutely in love with all the colors! The Blissy pillowcases are also a big hit right now. Not only do they help give you better sleep, but also protect hair and skin. What could be better than that, ladies?! Along with that, personalized Starbucks cups are a big gift trend at the moment as well. Who doesn’t want their name in a cute font while drinking their coffee or water? You’ll never lose them either! And of course thanks to quarantine, comfy loungewear is back in style. These leopard print joggers are so comfy and chic, I wear them all the time! You can also get these comfy and chic animal print fuzzy open-toe slippers to match as well 😉

For Him

Top Row: Sudio TOLV Wireless Earbuds // Electric Back Massager

Middle Row: YETI Rambler 30 Oz // Sherpa-lined Flannel Hoodie

Bottom Row: Thor Hammer Bottle Opener

For the men … this one took me a lot longer to come up with ideas because men are honestly hard to shop for 🤣 I will say this Thor hammer bottle opener is perfect for the guy who loves both beer and Marvel movies. I’m not a beer drinker, but I love Marvel and I would totally use this! This electric back massager is also a game-changer that makes the perfect holiday gift. I don’t actually own one of these, but I know they’re super useful and I envy those who have them! A few other items for the men include the Sudio TOLV wireless earbuds (who I recently collaborated with on Insta!), a sherpa-lined flannel hoodie from Land’s End, and a YETI Rambler 30 Oz. I have no doubt that any guy would love to receive these gifts under their tree on Christmas Day!

For Anybody

Top Row: What Do You Meme? Adult Party Game // BURST Sonic Toothbrush // Furbo Dog Camera

Bottom Row: Keurig Coffee Maker // DASH Mini Waffle Maker

For anybody … let me start off by saying the What Do You Meme? game is a HIT! As a lover of funny memes, it’s one of my favorite games and it’s absolutely fun and hilarious to play with friends and relatives! Another gift idea that’s very nice and beneficial is the BURST sonic toothbrush, which is proven to whiten and clean teeth thanks to the charcoal bristles. It’s also electric, which helps clean them pearly whites ten times more! The Furbo dog camera is also super popular these days and is the perfect gift for any dog lover. It helps them see and interact with their furry pals even while not home, and it shoots out treats! It’s so much for both the humans and the doggos! And of course, a Keurig coffee maker and DASH mini waffle maker because who doesn’t love coffee and waffles?!


Who else is super excited that Christmas is almost here?! Remember, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. There’s so much more to the holiday than the presents under the tree. It’s about surrounding yourself with beloved friends and relatives and cherishing the special love and joy that comes this time of year ❤️ Enjoy every minute of it!

Merry Christmas, y’all!
