7 Family Valentine’s Day Celebration Ideas

Family Valentine's Day

Having Family Valentine’s Day can be lots of fun! Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating the very meaning of life: LOVE! We all have special people in our lives and this day is special because it allows us to make it a point to be intentional about showing people in our lives how special they are to us.

Our pre-kiddo days are far behind us and now being a family with a little one, we have adopted the “Family Valentine’s Day” idea of celebrating as a family with some family-centered fun, in addition to exchanging small gifts between just us two. Today, I am sharing a short list of festive Family Valentine’s Day ideas I have to celebrate loved ones by spending true quality time together for any of you are also planning on having Family Valentine’s Day activities, too.

Lush Holiday & Winter Items You Will Love

Lush

Lush bath bombs and bubble bars are perfect for pampering near the holidays and also for the upcoming winter months. I stock up on fun and moisturizing bubble bars, bath melts, and bath bombs every couple of months. Being a mommy, taking relaxing baths are one of the ways that I take time for myself each week and I look forward to the ultimate relaxation they provide! If you are new to Lush bath products let me fill you in: they are incredibly luxurious for the skin, contain all good ingredients, are handmade, and most make the bath water somewhat interesting to look at 🙂 Today I am sharing a few of their products that I have been happy to use for the past few weeks. With Christmas just 7 days away, if you still need stocking stuffers and gift ideas, Lush goods are perfect.

Lush

The Cinders bath bomb isn’t new to Lush- it’s a seasonal bath bomb that makes an appearance every fall and winter. This is the coolest spicy and warm bath bomb! It is a pale shade of orange once in the water and has vegan pop rocks-like candy crystals inside, which make your bath water “pop and fizzle” like you were nice and cozy right beside a warm fireplace.

Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Gifts For Men

Finding the right gifts for men can really be a challenge. I know that many times we find ourselves waiting until the last possible minute to purchase gifts for the men on our lists due to the uncertainty of what to buy. I have been there for sure! In an effort to change that, today I have a Holiday Gift Guide completely geared toward men that will help with ideas and to use as inspiration! All of these make perfect affordable gifts and will certainly be dad, brother, husband, boyfriend, or male friend-approved for the holiday season! Take a look around, Happy Shopping!

Pretty neat stuff, huh?! If you really liked the duffel bag shown above, you’ll really love this one and its perfect for any man who travels a bunch. It is just $10 more and features a cool exterior zip shoe compartment. A great wet & dry shaver makes a wonderful gift option, too! Another idea I have would be to buy tickets to some sporting event or concert/event/show that he enjoys. Also, everyone loves food so monthly food-related subscription boxes make perfect gifts for men 🙂 Check out this cool personalized monthly subscription snack and food box geared towards men: Mantry. I think it’s a cool concept and really cute name! Functional things are usually a big hit I’ve learned for sure with men, so keep that in mind as you shop around. For example, this Livescribe 3 Smartpen for Android & iOS Tablets and Smartphones is a really neat functional gift that I think is worth mentioning.

I hope you found a few awesome gifts for men that will be just perfect for any man in your life! What gift ideas from this list of suggestions do you like the most?
