Valentine’s gifts for you, kids, gals, & your date night in 💌

The gifts I’m eyeing and buying this month

Whether it’s a quiet date night in with Jason or my annual Galentine’s party with my girlfriends (haven’t done this since kids, and really need to bring it back!), I kind of love the tradition of Valentine’s Day.

What I don’t love? Being unprepared. I’m guilty of rushing to Target the day before and scrambling together exchange cards for the kids to bring to school or rushing to Sephora before a Galentine’s gift exchange.

Today, I’m sharing my curated Valentine’s guides for just about every scenario on your calendar.

Before I begin, today is the last day to upgrade your subscription to my premium tier and access The Fulfilled State at my Founding Member rate of 40% off.

The Fulfilled State is a book + workbook + community released live, one chapter at a time, over the next year. Each chapter includes practical exercises and tools, plus a space to work through this alongside other ambitious moms.

Think of it as the personalized coaching you’ve been craving, without the thousands of dollar price tag. If you’ve been feeling ready for more clarity and a more intentional way of living, this is the moment to step in.

Order class Valentine’s ASAP to avoid the disappointment when their favorite character sells out.

• Kpop Demon Hunter Valentines, Bluey Valentines, Spiderman Valentines and Frozen Valentines seriously, add to cart now and press purchase, don’t overthink

• Valentine’s Pajamas for Toddlers and Little Kids (grabbing some for Caden and Willow!)

• Valentine’s Wood Heart Painting Craft, Valentine’s Foam Heart Craft, or Valentine’s Paper Animal Craft for a fun themed activity

• If you want snacks without the sugar rush or red dye, Lesser Evil Sweet Heart Popcorn or Yum Earth Fruit Snacks

• This Paint-Your-Own Mailbox or Valentine’s Themed Magnatiles are so cute for your kids to hold their Valentine’s in!

Galentine’s “Favorite Things” ($50 or less)

A "favorite things" party is the perfect Galentine’s theme, so I’ve pulled my own top picks and crowd-sourced some $50-and-under wins from friends

• Hanni Splash Salve everyone I recommended this to raves about it

• Goop Dry Brush for the girl who loves self-care

• Summer Friday’s Jet Lag Eye Patches who doesn’t love an eye patch?!

• Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm this flushed color is so fun for a Galentine’s

• Roz Santa Lucia Styling Oil I love how this makes my hair feel

Date Night In

For when you want the romance without the overpriced reservation or the babysitter logistics.

• A Bluetooth Vinyl Record Player to set the mood

• For an activity either Paint Night, a Whiskey Making and Infusion Kit, a Pottery Kit, or a Wine and Chocolate Tasting

• If you’d rather sit and chat, try these We’re Not Really Strangers Couple Cards

• If you’re looking for something spicy to wear, Kat the Label Sorrento Camisole and Kat the Label Sorrento Shorts

• If you want to be a bit more cozy but still on theme, do these Soma Satin Pants and Soma Satin Collar Top or these Gap Ribbed Pj Pants in red.
