Valentine’s Day is coming up! The typical gifts of chocolate and flowers or jewelry might not be the best choice for the man in your life. A lot of us women struggle with what to get our significant other. I am not one to go above and beyond by spending lots of money, but I still want my husband to know that I love and appreciate him. Here is a list of some of my top choices for your man this Valentine’s Day.
- Make him a nice dinner! Valentine’s Day is the best day to stay in and have a romantic dinner for two. Restaurants are over crowded and babysitters are expensive! Turn the dining room into a romantic candle lit table for two and set up the kids in the living room with a movie and their own kids table. Cook his favorites, or something that is your splurge meal such as seafood or filets with creamy gorgonzola sauce. Uncork a bottle of wine and don’t forget a succulent dessert!
- Jord Watches. These beautiful wooden watches come at different price ranges. I love that they are sustainable and sleek designs that can be dressed up or down. They are currently running a special for Valentine’s Day, not to mention you can click here to enter in our giveaway!
- Handmade gifts. Make him a scrapbook of your relationship, or as cheesy as it sounds, a coupon book of things like 20 minute back rub or housework-free day. If you are a little more craft savy something like a knitted beanie or a blanket. Handmade gifts no matter how small are always mean so much more!
- Something from his wishlist I try to keep track of the things my husband says he needs. Sometimes I will purposely wait to order things from his Amazon cart if a birthday or holiday is in the near future. Getting him something he really wants versus buying him something because you feel like your should is a much better use of your money.
- A weekend getaway in the near future Seriously though when was the last time you and your man had a get away with no kids, family or friends? My answer is not since we had our son! Yes he is three and a half You need alone time as a couple, and because of this I planned a weekend away to Seattle in the end of March. You don’t have to plan something expensive, even a night away at a bed and breakfast a few towns away will give you two the alone time you need!
