Whether it’s your significant other, child, family member or friend, make this Valentine’s Day more meaningful by picking a present that reflects a personality type. We’ve curated a handful of gift ideas that you can’t go wrong with when it comes to showing you care during this season of love.
THE TRAVELER / JEWELRY LOVER
From passport stamps to luggage tags, spoil those around you who love to travel with jewelry showcasing their favorite destinations around the globe. It’s “plane” to see how much we love Jet Set Candy, the details are incredible as each piece in their collections is thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted from quality sterling silver, 14k vermeil, or solid gold.
A Valentine’s Day Gift Guide has been curated on their site so everyone can wear a reflection of their favorite vacation location, honeymoon city, college town or even a bucket list trip. The travel-inspired jewelry is creative, purposeful, fun and beautiful!
Jet Set Candy’s Micro-Tourism Collection won us over! The Passport Book Charm has a navy blue enamel passport book filled with candy-colored passport stamps and is just to die for… the Vintage Suitcase Charm takes us back to the leather case luggage days, complete with vintage travel stickers, there are cameras, boarding passes, headphones and more.
And don’t forget the multiple length options and chain styles when it comes to selecting the best necklace, or you could opt for a bracelet to display all your charms too. Jet Set Candy just added a Daily Charm Chain and a Paperclip Chain necklace too. Oh and the packaging is amazing!
Another aspect that we love about Jet Set Candy is that when we wear our items we get stopped regularly and not only asked to look at the details but then people want to know the story behind why we selected certain locations… beautiful jewelry that also allows opportunity for community!
THE ATHLETE / ALL AGES
The Super Bowl is this weekend, baseball season is about to kick off, and spring sports will be in full swing. Surprise your little slugger, or all-star with items that will help them achieve their athletic dreams. From balls and bats, to cleats and gear, we love a Valentine’s Day gift that is practical and encouraging. Dick’s Sporting Goods is our go to for sports gear and we are loving these impact baseball and softballs from Skilz. The heavy duty wiffle balls, help your hitter find the all important sweet spot and refine their swing. Plus their color makes it easier to locate in a grassy field! These make great basket fillers. We paired it with a pair of new cleats, because Opening day is right around the corner. We love that Dick’s Sporting Goods staff is helpful when it comes to finding the right equipment. We needed a new bat as we graduated from t-ball and we asked them all the questions about the proper bat for our little slugger. Add a Valentine that says, “You’re a real CATCH!”
The best part is that you can create a practical gift for whatever sport your loved one might play. A new tennis racket or sleeve of balls paired with a card that says, “You’re my ACE!”
THE CHOCOLATE CONNOISSEUR / FOODIE
Valentine’s Day was invented to give chocolate… but let’s add a twist. Bacon, potato chips, churro… yep, all ingredients mixed into the variety of flavors from Chuao Chocolatier. Sure you can get passionate heart shaped bon bons or love child chocolate dipped strawberries, but we love the idea of adding a little popping candy and s’mores to share thanks to Chuao’s crafted mouthwatering creations.
Known for their gourmet chocolate bars with unique flavor like Baconluxious and Potato Chip, or Cheeky, Cheeky Churro and Honeycomb, we can’t pick just one which is why their mini-bar samplers like Share the Love and More Joy are our must-haves for get togethers.
We love their award-winning drinking chocolate and find it best paired with a cozy fire. We took it up a notch as we absolutely love all the inspiration and recipes Chuao puts on their website! We put a Valentine twist on their Heart Chocolate Hearts and made bombs that were a big hit, especially with the kiddos.
So whether you are giving a gift, or indulging yourself…. choose joy this Valentine’s Day. And Chuao has a special offer just enter the code: GOODDAYSAC at checkout for 20% off your order, now through Valentine’s Day!
THE FITNESS MINDED / QUALITY TIME
For the friend who would rather go for a walk and talk, then catch up over coffee, give a gift that supports that quality time while getting fit. So many of us have new year’s resolutions to get fit or be active, so why not give a Valentine’s Day gift that helps your friend or loved one achieve their goals? We love the idea of giving a Stanley water bottle paired with a certificate to go workout together. The Stanley Quencher keeps hot drinks hot for 4 hours, cold drinks for 8 hours and has a 3 position lid. Another fun idea is to inspire or encourage the new year goals with a new pair of shoes. Whether we are going for a walk or hitting a class at the gym, we love APL shoes. They have so many fun colors to match your workout apparel or mood. Plus, their Proprietary Propelium® midsole provides energy generation and superior comfort that will maintain structural integrity longer than conventional EVA.
February temperatures can be warm one day and freezing the next, but don’t let that stop your fitness goals! We love that Dick’s Sporting Goods has so many great jacket options to keep us warm, stylish and still able to enjoy our activity. A fun idea is to get his and hers jackets for a hike together! We love Patagonia jackets. The women’s down jacket has 800-fill-power 100% Responsible Down Standard down and is not bulky. Some fun Valentine’s Day cards or sayings to pair with the fitness inspired gifts, “You make my heart beat faster.” “When I saw you it was love at first SET.” “You are my SWOLE mate.”
THE READER / BOOK WORM
Books make great gifts because there is something so fantastic about storytelling. We’re all drawn to it. Beautifully illustrated picture books with simple text to detailed chapter books, biographies, fantasy, fiction or growth… find the book that best reflects a personality or sends them on an awaited adventure.
