1:: chocolate dipped strawberries: if your crazy busy like me these days, maybe making chocolate dipped strawberries just doesn't fit on your agenda, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy them! thank your lucky stars for the internet because sur la table makes it easy to purchase a dozen straight from their site. this my go to store for pre made type mixes and such, so if their strawberries are anything like their other gourmet desserts, they will not disssapoint! OR if you want to go totally rogue on the whole chocolate dipped business (like i probably will), the skinny confidential has an effortless recipe that still looks cute here.
2:: heart shaped measuring spoons: if you are going to blow the rest of us out of the water and go all out baking something decadent, you should do so with these adorable measuring spoons that also have a matching measuring cup set. i may just have to get these to use all year because heart shaped anything is always a good idea.
3:: heart banner: can't leave out the decorations! this dig-looking banner will look adorable draped across a mantel or pinned to a wall.
4:: heart shaped rug: to step out onto as you get out of the shower or as a reminder to think about someone you love. the best part about v-day decor is that it's appropriate for the entire month of february (at least in my book it is--don't let the ba humbugs ruin your fun).
5:: heart decorative pillow: (SOLD OUT similar here.) this will be a great addition to your rug and banner. i think there should be at least one heart decoration in each room.
6:: heart teether: if your little one is teething, this wooden teething ring will be perfect & i love that it is gender neutral. boys tend to get left out during valentines day, or should i say wiped out with all the bushy tutus and pink galore, which is why i always try to make sure i include festive items that work for boys too.
7:: wall art printable: (little pony shop is offering buy 1 get 1 free with this printable!) I was also loving this card from debbie draws funny on etsy, which was featured on the huffington post, because i've yet to have met someone who actually likes those chalky tasting conversation hearts! maybe you do??i don't know, but what i do know is they just aren't for me. what they do have going for them is that they do make for really inexpensive & adorable decorations, so don't write them off entirely!
8:: red high-tops: these are perfect to wear on valentines day or any other day of the year which is why i asked for them for my "cotton" gift for my anniversary.
9:: heart knit mittens: what is not to love about these? and i'm sure they were knitted with love! get it?! haha. ok maybe not, but i was laughing!
10:: i l.o.v.e love this baseball T. luca will definitely be sporting this and maybe i'll get this tee to match him. but then i'll also have to get him red high-tops to match me too. oh dear lord, making these lists can be dangerous.
11:: stance lip socks: if you haven't heard of stance yet, you're late to the party, but don't worry, i was too. i'm bummed about it too because i love them so & my feet love them so & i could have been enjoying them a whole lot sooner. these are the only socks i'll sleep in. & because you've already gone all out, why not finish things off? am i right? spoil yourself a little, you deserve it.
i hope you find this list inspiring and helpful for planning out your valentine's day. what are you planning to do to get in the spirit? i'd love to hear! can you believe were already talking valentines? before you know it, we'll be talking christmas.
dear 2015, please slow down. i can't keep up. sincerely, me
xo
