Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Let’s be realistic: Valentine's Day doesn't need to be about grand gestures or expensive gifts. It’s a Hallmark holiday, after all. Sometimes, it's the small, thoughtful touches that make the day memorable for our loved ones. As a mom and wife, I've found joy in creating little moments of delight for my family without getting caught up in the commercial hype.

Small Gestures, Big Impact
I love watching my kids wake up to find a small surprise on Valentine's Day morning. For my kids, it’s usually heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast or a special card with a list of all the things I love about them. My husband is the king of heartfelt cards, so I will be sure to return the sentiment with a little love note of my own, along with something chocolate that I know makes him swoon.
These tiny moments of connection mean more than any expensive gift.
Flashy Hearts Earrings - these are designed by a Canadian Designer, who also happens to be a friend. I’ve had these for a year and get so many compliments on them! I will be wearing these all week long!
Simple Modern Water Bottle - I’ve spoken about this water bottle before. It’s so much less expensive than the viral Stanley, and I think it looks better (and doesn’t leak!)
Cherry Bomb Key Chain - a little something for fun for the teen in your life….especially if they are working towards their driver’s license!
Staub Bakeware - the best quality bakeware and I would never tire of this pretty colour! Perfect to go from oven to table!
Leather Initial Key Chain - I love the idea of something personalized. Either for them or for you. These are so pretty.
Eberjey PJ’s - treat yourself to a new set of jammies. This set is by far the most comfortable and flattering I’ve ever owned.
Washable Silk Eye Mask - if sleeping is a challenge for you, this eye mask will help you block out all the light and get some quality zzz’s.
Mini Waffle Maker - I have this mini waffle maker to my son last year for Valentine’s Day and he LOVES it. He makes himself waffles for breakfast every week.
Adidas Pink Sneakers - well, if these sneakers don’t put a smile on your face, I don’t know what will! These make me hopeful for spring!
Vibrator - this was recommended to me and I cannot tell you enough how great it is. Sorry if this is TMI, but if you have lost sensation ‘down there’, you need to get this for yourself. Your Valentine’s date night won’t know what hit it!
Larochelle Confections - this small, woman owned, boutique chocolatier creates the most exquisite chocolates. Pair some of these chocolates with a sentimental card, and your lover will be tickled pink.
Sweet Tooth - for you or for someone in your house who might love the delicious and beautiful sweet treats in this cookbook.
Remember, Valentine's Day is about expressing love, not emptying your wallet. Whether it's through small gifts, quality time, or simple gestures, the key is making your loved ones feel special in ways that align with your values and budget.
