The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Single Edition Media.

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Probably not. I feel like Valentine’s Day is the holiday that most people shop last-minute for. In life, you have people who start shopping for the holidays the second post-holiday clearance gets tucked into the back shelves. They’re a whole year ahead of the rest of us. Then you have last-minute Larry’s who descend upon the mall on Christmas Eve, their panic-fueled purchases creating a true hit or miss situation in the realm of gift-giving. But Valentine’s Day is a last-minute shopper’s paradise. And just because we’re all out here shopping a week or two before the “big day”, doesn’t mean our gifts have to be the standard crappy card and drugstore chocolates (though they have their place in the gifting hierarchy too). If you really want to show someone you care (whether it’s your single bestie or your spouse or – hey girl – yourself), I definitely recommend you check out this line-up of potential gift-giving gold:

Ultimate Valentines Day Gift Guide

I first discovered Edible Arrangements back when I was much younger, and I’ve loved them since. They make gifting – especially last minute gifting – an utter breeze. There’s no misinterpreting an Edible Arrangements new Edible Signature Chocolate Box. In my opinion, gorgeous fresh fruit and chocolates from master chocolatier Jacque Torres is the best way to say “I love you”.

Edible Arrangements

I honestly was blown away with this collection. This would be my dream Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day gift. Chocolate and a fruit bouquet? Yes, please! The fruit in my bouquet were all perfectly ripe, I loved how you can literally smell them. Good fruit give off the most sweet and intoxicating smell, and Edible Bouquet features great pieces of fruit. Did I mention the chocolate dipped strawberries? So, so good. By the way, procrastinators rejoice – Edible Arrangements do same day delivery! So what are you waiting for? Order here!

Another excellent gift idea? A gorgeous new perfume! Fragrances are an excellent and personal way to say that you care. Get her/him their favorite scent or get them a Perfumania gift card so they can choose one of their own. Perfumania is your fragrance destination, they have the best selection – I ordered my Valentine’s gift from there three days ago and it arrived yesterday, so the shipping is amazingly quick. My pick is the Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana, which has gorgeous Neroli, Water Lily, Narcissus, Papaya Flower, and White Amaryllis notes. It’s addictive.

This tough watch is a part of the G-Shock for Her collection, created for the woman that seeks a sportswear-inspired toughness to add to her modern style. Check out the entire collection here!

As someone who comes from a family of artists, I’m no stranger to the Faber-Castell brand. They are the number one product to reach for among creatives, and it’s no wonder with 256 years of experience creating high-quality products underneath their belt. Give that person you love the gift of creativity. Host your own sketch and wine night or paint and wine night with these tools. My picks? The Faber-Castell CASTELL 9000® Graphite Design set, PITT® Artist Pen 8 count Wallet in Black, PITT® Artist Pen Studio Gift Box of 24 and Gelatos® Dolce 2 Gift Set. Check out more from Faber-Castell here.

The Gelatos are super exciting – not only are they available in 68 colors, but they work and blend beautifully with or without water. They even can be used on porous surfaces. Very cool.

Last, but certainly not least, is the latest snack that I have found myself absolutely obsessed with – Sunsweet PlumSweets. Now I know studies have shown that eating prunes supports bone health, especially in postmenopausal women, but I honestly just snack on them for the flavor. PlumSweets feature diced prunes coated in premium dark chocolate. And before you ask – they are made with real fruit and absolutely no high fructose corn syrup. Sunsweet for the win! Bring this over for a romantic movie night, toast with champagne and enjoy!
