So you dropped the ball and forgot to grab a little something for your sweetie? Trust me, we’ve all been there. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner (literally) it’s time to shop! Even though you might be a little last minute to gather your gift, don’t go short on making a big impact. Below are gift ideas you can grab around town quickly while still selecting something your val or galentine will absolutely adore!
Flowers. This classic, and obvious gift never goes out of style. Since the clock is ticking, you won’t be able to snag professional petals like the one’s pictured from Blush & Bay, and that’s ok. Opt for stems from Whole Foods and use a vessel from your home. Arrange them yourself for an extra special touch.
Jojo’s Sriracha. Heat things up! I received this gift over the holidays and fell so deeply in love. It’s spicy, tangy and made right here in Colorado. Cherry Creek’s own Show of Hands has it in stock.
Coffee Table Books/Cookbooks. Make your foodie friend drool! Pictured are some top picks that not only look beautiful, but also house great content. These finds were snatched up at Urban Outfitters and at 5280.com.
DIY Canvas. Honestly, I am a sucker for anything handmade. This little craft is so simple. Head to Michaels for an expensive set of three 8×11 canvases. Paint each one or stick with your first try. You’re lovey will blush over the personalization.
DIY Candles. My dear friend and blogging partner, Kim, is the master of DIY candles (she even has a custom stamp from SubstationPaperie!). This adorable project just requires some wax, some scents and a glass container of your choosing. Head to your favorite craft shop to assemble your supplies and complete this present in one short afternoon.
Happy early Valentine’s Day, friends! – Jordan
