Gifts & Glamour: Valentine's Day Ready!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! While the wings are in the oven and the steaks are on the grill, I'd thought I'd work on this post for ya. :) February is my favorite month!! My birthday is on the 9th, and the little extra attention I get five days after (Valentine's Day) is a little extra bonus. ;)

I have to admit, I get a little cheesy when it comes to Valentine's Day, especially since I had kids! BUT I also still keep it low key and budget friendly. I think all holidays are just more fun in general when you have small children--especially if you have boys! I am very lucky to have three valentines. :)

Soo I went a little pin crazy on my Valentine's Day Pinterest board. I wanted to share with you some of the things that have been inspiring me this Valentine's Day season. See below for my V-day Gifts and Glam picks, decor, and more!

V-day Gifts
I personally love the idea of making a Boudoir book. I think that's so cute for Valentine's Day, anniversary, or a birthday! It's creative, simple, and easy to do--and likely easy on the pockets if you choose to DIY it. And for the ladies, c'mon guys, jewelry is always a winner! Although I encourage jewels and diamonds, I've listed a few non-diamond options below for ya. ;)

V-day Decor
Although I tend to pack my tables for many of my events and tablescapes...I'm really a fan of simplicity. I think a simple, well-organized table makes any event or dinner special. You don't need a whole lot of stuff to make it look nice, you just need enough of the right stuff. And for Valentine's Day...I mean...you can't go wrong with roses. I also think an all white table (with white roses) would look nice too! Just don't spill the red wine. ;)

Just a thought take out the red put in purple? I love this clean, reduced, sophisticated look - so much achieved with such simplicity! Take it one step further with a mirrored tabletop and colored gems - or use a gradation of colors in the single blooms, maybe a whole rainbow from one end of the long table to the other... or silver gems and purple blooms on a lilac tablecloth...One that caught my attention was this adorable centerpiece using simple white egg cups with ranunculus arranged in a heart shape. It’s a beautiful DIY centerpiece idea, affordable and very unique! I think the little egg cup idea would be adorable for escort cards as well! Set up a display of interlocking hearts, and place a small name tag in each. Very cute.Wedding Reception Ideas, Table Decorations, Black, Red, Gold | Destination Weddings and Honeymoons
