Valentines Day: Last Minute Gift Ideas

It’s Valentine’s Day weekend! Valentine’s Day is an interestingly polarizing “holiday.”  Typically, you either love it or hate it.  Regardless, you probably celebrate it to some extent.  If you’re late to the party and looking for that easy Valentine’s gift here are some quick and easy suggestions. 

For the gents: 

Pick him up his favorite bottle of alcohol or a growler of beer at the local craft beer store. Click here to find a local growler source in your area.  Typically Whole Foods sells growlers if you can’t find a local store to fill the growler.  You could always supplement the bottle of liquor with some fun ice molds from Williams Sonoma, World Market, or Macys.

A subscription to the Dollar Shave Club.  Print out and wrap up a picture of the website or wrap a can of shave gel.  This way, you don’t ruin the surprise.

Boxers and Socks:  Nothing says romance like getting down to your skivvies!  Give the practical gift of socks and boxers. I love these from Old Navy and

J Crew.

For the ladies: 

We ladies like some fancy barware.  Grab two of these flutes with a bottle of champagne and you’ll look like you have it perfectly planned. 

Order tickets to a play at a local theater or upcoming concert with an IOU to a great new restaurant (her pick).

Stop by a local gift store and grab a candle – who doesn’t love a candle?  My personal favorite.

If all else fails make breakfast in bed. Stay in and cook.  Turn off the television.  Set the table.  Light a candle.  Much better than the expensive set menu at the crowded restaurant down the street.
