Valentine’s Day is a sweet opportunity to remind the people in your life just how much you love them, whether it’s your spouse, your girlfriends, your children, or other family and friends. “Cupid’s holiday” is a great time for intentional giving and gathering, so we’ve put together a few suggestions to make your February festive:
FOR ‘GAL’ENTINES
Valentine’s Day (or week!) is meant to be celebrated with the people you hold dear, including your girlfriends! Host a mother-daughter tea or ladies brunch for the occasion, or just drop off a thoughtful note and gift, like this $25 glass heart bowl or a festive Rose Delight candle (which lasts much longer than a fresh bouquet!):

FOR LITTLE ONES
These GAIA Pouches are perfect to stuff with treats for a mini Valentine but cute enough for year-round use. They are just the right size to fill with pencils, notes, hair accessories, or anything other little things your girl likes. Best of all, they are handmade by refugee artisans in Dallas, so they include some extra love and impact!

Valentine’s Day isn’t complete without some sweet treats! This “Bear-y Cute Bear” full of sour gummies is adorably delicious, or try styling a batch of cupcakes for your kids or their class with this Valentine Cupcake Kit from Meri Meri!

Here are some more Valentine’s gifts and goodies your littles will love:
FOR SCHOOL
Kids’ class valentines are some of the most fun goodies to put together each year. Involve your children in the gift assembly and share a conversation about why love is worth celebrating and how it’s nice to share encouraging notes and thoughtful treats with friends on Valentine’s Day. Last year, my oldest son handed out boyish, shark-themed Valentine notes with temporary tattoos by Meri Meri, and they were a hit!

This year, I’ve ordered my boys’ class valentines from Love Lucy, which offers some of the cutest cards and tags online! They can be ordered as printables or made custom for your child. Love Lucy has a lot of great valentines options, including these pirate notes for boys and many variations to choose from for girls, too!

FOR FAMILY
In our house, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love, but we celebrate familial bonds on this holiday, too! Lolli picked out these mugs (similar linked here) for my husband and me with the boys last year and they bring just as big a smile to our faces as the coffee inside each morning!
This holiday is also a great opportunity to create family traditions and #intentionalmemories around the breakfast or dinner table! Set the table with heart, and enjoy a festive Valentine’s Day with your family by adding this heart-shaped pasta to the menu and using bakeware that’s just right for the occasion:

Speaking of family time, Valentine’s is a great excuse to get your kids in the kitchen cooking and baking! Top your treats with sprinkles from Sweets Indeed, which makes small-batch creations like their signature “Candyfetti,” “Sour Lollis,” and “Candy Kabobs” from sunny Southern California.

TREAT YOURSELF
Now, while you’re doling out all this love, don’t forget to treat yourself, too! Exercise some self-care this February by creating an in-home spa experience! Settle into a warm bath fragranced with luxurious rosy bath oil, then throw on these soft silk pajamas. Pamper parched lips with moisturizing collagen lip masks, and get some quality beauty sleep with a pretty monogrammed sleep mask you’ll enjoy throughout the year!
