Jonna knocked it out of the park with her "for the men" gift guide on Monday, and I hope we're all buzzing with good ideas for the men in our lives. But, hey, we need something this Valentine's too, don't you think?
Here are some of my (and hopefully soon-to-be your) favorites:
1. Beau & Stella Interlocking Links Necklace
Beau & Stella are long-time sponsors of Style Lush, and because of that, I've seen their (incredible) jewelry pop up on friends and family. Every time I see this necklace, I ooh and ahh over it. It's even prettier and more perfect in person.
2. Personalized Paper Notebook
It might be just me, but I love keeping notebooks in my purse and on my desk and all around my house. This personalized, photo notebook would be the only one I'd want to use if/when I got it.
3. Sweet print
(Or, a custom poster with a personal/inside saying.)
I've only had my iPhone for five seconds, but I've already figured out that fancy cases are not something I can indulge in often. But I can always indulge in getting iPhone cases as gifts. Oh yes.
5. Fun Writing Utensils
If you're a writer (or just someone who appreciates a good doodle), how fantastic would it be to get a pencil holder and cute set of pencils on your desk? Pretty fantastic, yes.
6. Cupcakes Make Everything Better t-shirt
This shirt speaks truth. Enough said.
I've heard such incredible things about this book. I also happen to love John Green. That's a winning gift combination right there.
You can get these sweet bracelets (or necklaces) with a variety of meanings: love, lucky, mom, "all of me," "wild horses," etc.
9. A Night Off
If you're looking for a great gift for your wife or partner who also happens to be a busy mom, try this: show up a few days before Valentine's, with a fancy bottle of wine and the good kind of take-out and send her to her room for the night. Tackle all the "house and family" stuff solo, and let her have the night completely off. I love the idea that this doesn't have to be on Valentine's to be for Valentine's, and is there a better gift than sheer relaxation?
So many fun girly things in this set. I would like it right now, please.

What would you add to the list, my favorite readers?
This list made me giggle. I love the print and the tshirt!

I bought that print for my husband for his 30th, and it's hanging in our bedroom. It is a big hit, and the quality is really nice!
