Valentine’s Day has always been a difficult holiday for me to shop for. I usually don’t do much. A card and small gift for hubby and some candy for the kids is usually all I do. This year I have been inspired by Pinterest to try some new things and do a little more for Valentine’s Day. This is the first of 3 Valentine’s themed posts this week. Today is about gifts, tomorrow is crafts and Friday’s post is food related. I hope that these posts inspire you to do something new or different this Valentine’s Day. Make sure you follow me on Pinterest so you don’t miss any of the awesomeness that I find.

Gifts for Her

I love having my morning cup of hot cocoa in this adorable much from DisneyStore.com. At $12.95 it is a reasonably priced gift that she will cherish all year long.

Custom iPhone cases are on the top of lots of gift wish lists. I have one and I gave one as a Christmas gift. The iPhone 5 Power Gallery from Uncommon takes the custom case to a new level because it is also an extended life battery! Now through February 5th this case is on BOGO! Click over now and place your order and use the code VDAY14 at checkout.

Here is a gift that is FREE! Download the Lift app to your smartphone. This app helps you set personal and productivity goals. One of the most important goals is the Tell My Wife I Love Her goal. “I Love You” are 3 simple words that most men just don’t say…unless prompted by their wives. If your wife is anything like me, hearing those words without saying them first is a huge gift! Download the app, search for the goal and let your smartphone remind you, instead of your wife.

If you like to give gifts that are more philanthropic in nature, ask her to Bee Yours with the gift of honeybees in her name to a family in need through Heifer International. When you buy bees for a family in need, your gift:a) Boosts income through sales of honey, wax and pollen. b)Stimulates growth of the family’s crops through pollination.
