Valentine's Day Gift Guide
Valentine’s Day… that one day a year when we celebrate love together all over the world!
I don’t know about you, but I personally love Valentine’s Day. I know, I know, it’s been commercialized and in many ways, we’ve lost touch with what it’s really meant to be about. But for me, any excuse to celebrate love is a great day in my books! Valentine’s Day used to be an exclusive day for romantic partners, but we are smarter than that nowadays – now we celebrate our friends, our family, our colleagues, and every one we, well, LOVE!
FOR HER
1.Diptyque - Rose candle, special edition | 2. Le Creuset heart cocotte | 3. Dyson supersonic hair dryer | 4. Dior heels | 5. Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry | 6. Red Patent LOVE Clutch | 7. Advanced love book | 8. Helle Mardahl Bon Bon large glass jar | 9. Byredo - Young Rose | 10. We’re not really strangers couple’s edition
That perfect gift for HER. Some may say it’s not as simple as a beautiful Dyptique candle, but I say, um, yeah it is! For me, it’s not just about the stunning Creuset Heart Cocotte, although it is probably the most gorgeous pot of life, it’s more about HOW the gift is given. Does it come with a special note? Is it given over breakfast in bed? I love a special moment, and nothing says Valentine’s Day like the memories created over dinner by the fire or a special handholding walk over the mountain.
As always, my fave gifts are always ones I can wear or use. The Two is Better than One, PARURE 1 Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry is a great gift for her, or if you want to get fun with it, make it a besties gift – one for her one for you! I’ve got a Valentine’s promo so your gift comes with a gift from me! Key in VDAY10 promo and spread the word. The Dior Heels are a fun gift to give, especially for those ladies who love to dress on theme – paired with the red patent Love Clutch by L’Alingi, you’ve got the perfect love-themed outfit.
FOR HIM
1. Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player | 2. Work bag/brief case Versace | 3. New Balance running shoes | 4. iPad Pro | 5. Lucky red, PARURE 1 Mademoiselle Jules jewelry | 6. Apple Watch band | 7. More joy water bottle | 8. French press | 9. Card holder| 10. Masterclass Membership
I used to believe men were hard to shop for, but honestly, nothing says love like tech gear, lol! Whether it’s an Apple device or an Apple watch band, the man in your life will smile tenfold when he opens that little white box. Jokes aside, it’s not always about technology, it’s about knowing what he loves and amplifying with a gift. This year, I think one of the greatest ideas is a Masterclass Membership – the World Series of Poker champion Daniel Negreanu is teaching poker strategy, theory and practice through hand-reviews of his winning games. But if poker isn’t his think, Masterclass has a ton of amazing things to learn. The membership at just $15 per month and he has access to all kinds of awesome content.
Whether it’s a work accessory or sports paraphernalia, it turns out he’s not that hard to shop for. This year, I realize that a gift for him is also a gift for us. I even added a French press to my gift guide because the gift of coffee is one we can both enjoy, lol!
SELF LOVE
1. For the Love of Jules, PARURE 1 Mademoiselle Jules jewelry | 2. Herbivore botanical rose skin set | 3. Skims cozy set: top & pants | 4. Blu Well Being - Massage | 5. Mademoiselle Jules Local Discovery Box | 6. Maison Tess: coco linen in “berry” | 7. Gratitude book, how are you feeling? | 8. Aurum activewear set | 9. Aesop Citrus Melange Body Cleanser | 10. Ritual Daily Club - Subscription
However you choose to celebrate this year, or whoever you choose to celebrate with, think of yourself too! Spend some time spreading gratitude and reflecting on what love means to you and how you want to express it this year. Spend time alone and nourish yourself with self-love. A massage or some extra time relaxing in your Maison Tess sheets is one way to indulge in self-care. Staying in your cozy pjs or getting yourself that workout outfit you’ve had your eye on for a while (I’m thinking of Aurum because they’ve got some great sets and I’ve got a promocode for you JULES15!). The Ritual Daily Club – Subscription is a 21-day challenge to begin healing the most important relationship of them all: the one with yourself.
If self-care is well taken care of, then why not spoil yourself with a fun gift! Try the For the Love of Jules, from my Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry PARURE 1, it comes with a fun promo code: VDAY10! Or, the Mademoiselle Jules local discovery box – filled with fun local products that I have discovered and love sharing with you all!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
