Happy Valentine’s Day everyone or it will be a happy one for you and your loved ones if you get them one of the goodies featured here in our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide.
I always like to pick unique gifts and I think all of these gift ideas will add a bit of a creative twist to this day of love.
I’m a pushover for love and romance so this was fun to do. There always seems to be a debate amongst my friends as to whether or not they celebrate Valentine’s Day. Me, personally, I love to celebrate.
Of course you should show your love on a regular basis but, Valentine’s Day is when you can show that ‘corny’ love. It’s fun and cheeky and full of hearts and flowers and syrupy sweet love.
There’s something for everyone. For him, for her, for the kids and even for yourself if you are celebrating solo.

I read the original Five Love Languages and took the test. I was mostly the type of person that needs to be loved on an ‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words’ basis. That’s really good to know because it helped me really focus on being with guys that were action oriented.
This book is for the fellas. Men definitely process things differently so, it makes sense to delve into the love languages for men. I’ve started to read the book for a review and instantly knew it would perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Description: At the heart of every man is a desire to master what matters. Getting a compliment at work or on the court is nice, but nothing beats hearing your spouse say, “You make me feel loved.” If you haven’t heard that in a while or feel like you are not bringing your A-game into your relationship, this books is for you.

Speaking of actions, one of my favorite days this past summer was spent simply cooking with someone and talking. Nothing more. The simple things in life always bring the most pleasure which is why I thought plated.com would be a great gift.
You can have all the ingredients for your romantic dinner shipped to you. You can even make the dinner together. A weekly box of fresh and seasonal ingredients, pre-portioned, starting at $12 per plate. You can purchase gift certificates but it’s sexier if you buy it and cook it fellas. Wink. Facebook|Twitter

Pre-mixed drinks make life so much easier and better especially when there is liquor in them. These are great for a group party, singles party or that intimate dinner you ordered from plated. They come in 5 different flavors: Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Screwdriver, Lemon Drop, Gin & Tonic and are available at your local wine & liquor store.
They are about $2.99 each which absolutely beats paying for it at a bar and completely eliminates the chore of at home bartending. The Lemon Drop is delicious. Facebook|Twitter

This is one of the coolest things ever. I originally was going to do a vlog for this gift guide just to be able to show you the awesomeness of this cube but, time got the best of me. I still might have to do a youtube demonstration.
You can keep those Instagram memories alive and on your desk instead of through the app on your phone. The cube connects to your Instagram page and flashes photos of your feed for you to enjoy. There is even a button on the top for you to ‘favorite’ pictures as you see them just like on the app. The come in black, white and as the Instagram logo. website

This is a more traditional way to store and share memories. I absolutely love everything about this gift. It’s actually my favorite gift on the guide because it’s so sentimental and it’s something that would touch my heart deeply if I received it as a gift.
The journal tracks 30 anniversaries. You fill it with photos, stories and milestones. It’s a wonderful way to look back and see your life through the years and you can even share it with your children and grandchildren as they get older. Facebook|Twitter

I came across this line while visiting the NY Now Convention at Jacob Javit’s Center here in NYC and instantly fell in love. The pieces are all hand made by men and women in Brasil through an initiative that allows for them to make an honest living with livable wages. They are recycled can tabs crocheted together to make amazing bags, jewelry and belts. The samples I have are a Greta Crochet Shoulder Bag, a guitar strap and a Cleo necklace. You have to really see these pieces in person to appreaciate the artistry.

Speaking of handmade, these candles are hand poured soy wax. What makes them unique is that the holders are made from repurposed wine bottles. They burn for 80 hours and come in different wine flavors like Merlot and Cabernet.
A portion of the proceeds are donated to animal rescue groups which is great. I also encountered this company at NY Now. They were kind enough to give me a sample for my VDay gift guide and it smells so delicious.

Living in Brooklyn, I see a lot of guys walking around with massive beards and handle bar mustaches. If that’s your guy then this is for them or just for the guy who has a basic goatee (which is my favorite). These make nice grooming kit gifts. They are made from all natural ingredients like shea butter, beeswax, avacado oil, almond oil, mango butter and just everything that will make that lucious beard feel and smell like heaven. They come in these amazing little burlap sacks which makes a great gift presentation that looks expensive but, isn’t.
This one is for the ladies. I’m not much of a chocolate fan but, as my aunt said, ‘You can’t have a Valentine Gift Guide without chocolate’. So, I compromised. This delicious face mask is made of cocoa and is a nice little treat and twist on the basic ‘chocolate for Vday’. I think this would make a cute gift because, like I said, I prefer unique and clever.

SinfulColors Flirt With Hearts : Valentine’s Nail Polish
I’m a fan of Sinful nail polishes. I featured them on my Holiday Gift Guide. This time around they have SinfulColors in fresh reds, pinks and blues for that special day. They even have a clear polish called “Love Sprinkles’ that has white heart flecks. It’s so adorable. Seriously, you need to get that SinfulColors Love Sprinkles.
I’m going to get my nails done for Valentine’s Day so I’ll post up on Instagram with the Sprinkles to show you how cool they look but, you might want to go get it now for your girl. They are only $1.99 each at Walgreens, Rite Aid and other mass retailer. facebook|twitter

Goody Good Stuff: Gummy Koala’s and Sour Fruits
This is great for the kids. Actually, it took everything in my power to not eat all of the samples I received in one sitting. They’re healthy though so, that’s okay. Now back to the kids.
I always get my kids a Valentine Gift. It’s a tradition I took from my mom. These Goody Good Stuff gummy koala bears are healthy, gluton free and very irresistible like I said. You might want to get enough for your kids and for yourself too because, trust me, it will be hard to resist the urge to indulge.
They are a great alternative to chocolate or basic candy and they taste delicious.
Goody Good Stuff is an all-new natural gummy candy range that is made with a plant derived bio-gum technology, which eliminates the need for animal-based gelatine, which most traditional gummy sweets use.facebook|twitter

Boxers briefs are always a sexy gift. ALWAYS. I love a man in boxer briefs and I love to wear his boxer briefs around the house just to lounge.
These SOS boxers by Bernard Buie are unisex so you can get it for your guy and fellas you can get them for your girl.
What makes these boxers unique is that they come with a hidden compartment that holds a condom that is included so you are always prepared. Because you know and I know and more importantly Bernard Buie knows that when you’re down to your boxers it’s so ’bout to go down’. They’ve got your back and your front. Facebook|Twitter

Ah Ring – $350
Ladies, ladies so you don’t have a Valentine? That’s okay. You can treat yourself with the Ah ring. Ah stands for (A)vailable and (H)appy. It’s okay to splurge on the person you love the most, YOU. The Ah ring is made with eleven diamonds set in 14karat white gold and fits on your pinky.
The funny thing is that I’ve always said that I would get myself a tennis bracelet if I was single on Valentine’s Day but, they’re kind of pricey. This is more subtle and such a great price. I think if that lady who did the whole wedding for herself had heard of the Ah Ring she would have saved herself a lot of trouble, money and would have been happy and available with a gorgeous ring.
