Valentine's Gift Guide: For Her

By Jennie

Now, this guide can serve a couple purposes and you should embrace both. First, you can copy the link and forward it directly onto your significant other, highlighting whichever items specifically jump out at you or you can use this as a guide to pick out something to buy for yourself. I'm a huge supporter of treating yourself to holiday gifts, whatever that holiday may be, and Valentine's should be no exception.

(Bonus! All items are under $50 and at least half are under $25!)

1. Jewelry Display Frames, $29-49

Telling us our jewelry should be displayed as art? Yeah, that's a gift we won't soon forget.

2. Wine-filled truffles, $24.95

I'm pretty sure the calories don't count if they come in gift form.

3. Silhouette paperweight,$20

Personalize this or choose from any of the pretty-damn accurate pre-drawn silhouettes. If you have to sit at a desk all day, you may as well make as many office supplies as possible look pretty.

4. Champagne flutes, $11.95 for one (buy two, though)

Most men don't get excited to buy stemware, but plenty of women get excited to receive it.

5. Cute Hat with Flower, $38

Unfortunately, it'll probably be cold for a few more months. Fortunately, you can look cute while shivering.

6. Gray flower headband, $15.95

It doesn't cost much to look cute.

7. Wildflower address stamp, $18

In my house, at least, addressing notes and cards and invitations is my responsibility (because my handwriting is legible), but getting this stamp would cut my job in half. Score.

8. Le Creuset Baker, $29.95

It's purple. Enough said.

9. Pretty dress, $37

10. Sunshine clips, $25 (set of 3)

11. Bacon and eggs half-apron, $43

I'd make sure the lady in your life enjoys kitchen time before buying her an apron, but if she does, how cute is this?

12. Print scarf, $12.50

Spring colors, for longer wear!

13. Personal stationary, as low as $1.14 each

I'm a fan of correspondence, especially when someone buys me fancy cards to send.

14. Bird cupcake stand, $38

Do yourself a favor, include a cupcake.

15. Cobalt stud earrings, $23

16. Cosmetic bag, $28

Her makeup is important! Remember that!

17. A pretty print, $25

18. Personalized necklace, $20

Simple is sometimes best.

19. Six-piece take-out set, $20.70

Something about encouraging me to take the night off from cooking makes me happy.

20. Soft drop pendant, $20

These are so different and quirky and cool.

21. Camisole, $35

It's Valentine's after all.

22. Gold cuff bracelet, $18

23. Sexy shoes, $44.99

If my husband bought me these shoes, he wouldn't have to wash a dish for a month.

24. Brownie pops, $44.50 (a dozen)

Brownie. Pops. Enough said.

25. Champagne, $18.99

If all else fails, buy booze. That's my motto.

Hope this list comes in handy, but feel free to leave a link in the comments to what YOU'RE most wanting this Valentine's Day.

That Le Creuset baker is calling my name melodically. NEED.

[Sarah]

This has GOT to be the best thing ever. I want one of everything on this list (well, maybe two bottles of champagne.)

Well done, lady, well done!

[Someone Being Me]

I already put in my request for a food processor and a waffle maker for Valentine's Day. I'm getting him the complete Battlestar Galatica series on Bluray. We are so past the romantic stage. If I wasn't so excited about the new kitchen toys I might be a little sad.

[Candy]

I want to sleep in. By myself. And not to change a single diaper for a day. What? His hand was broken on Mother's Day. He owes me one.

On the material side, a brunch date with $12 bottomless mimosas at The Grape will suit me just fine :-)

[Steph!]

Those jewelery frames are completely GORGEOUS! Wow.

This is a fantastic list, Jennie. Thanks! :)

[Marie Green]

I'll take the flower hat, the flower headband, and the aDORable cupcake stand, please. Oh, and the print. And the earrings. AND ONE OF EVERYTHING ELSE TOO.

Awesome gift guide.

Thanks for putting it together, so we an all just send a little linky-love to our lovers/husbands/significant-others/sex slaves/parent-of-our-child(ren)/you-get-the-idea.

[Heather]

Hmmmmm....that cupcake dish might make a mighty fine table centerpiece for the wedding, and I feel the need to prominently feature the brownie pops as well. Would that work? Having brownie pops instead of cake?

[Ashley]

Yeah...i'm totally diggin the frames. I can even make these myself and plan to do so!

[Janssen]

I have that baker (although in red, rather than gray) and it is probably the single most used dish in my kitchen. I love it so so much.

[alli coate]

thank you for featuring my pendants! so glad you like them :)

[kris]

Love that you found so much on Etsy. I love new finds -- thanks!
