Gifts to give yourself on Valentine’s Day that you’ll actually wear-and love!
I know that you are supposed to be giving gifts to everyone else this Valentine’s Day to express your love. But what about loving yourself too? While you’re out shopping, why don’t you also pick up something that you’d love to receive?
As moms, and as women, we so often put ourselves last. We buy gifts for everyone else. Everyone’s taken care of but YOU. Even if you have a husband, spouse, significant other; how about throwing a little love your own way? Here are a few things to gift yourself with. Just because.
Red Shoes!
Why? Because you need a pair of really red pumps. Putting on a pair of red shoes is like telling the world “yes I know, I am stunning. Deal with it.”
(I have these exact same shoes in a black suede and they are perfect. I wear them with jeans, dresses, you name it. Flattering cut and heel height. And red is a basic.)
Cute underwear you’ll actually wear.
If your significant other buys you lingerie or underwear for Valentine’s Day, be happy that they still want to see you naked. That’s a good sign. But, will you ever actually wear the feathered hot pink bra and pantie set? Probably not. Here’s a brand of bras and panties you’ll actually want to wear.
Naja, designed by women, is a lingerie brand with wonderful attentive design (check out the whimsical patterns on the inside of their bras. Adorable!) Details that you’d normally find on much more expensive brands. Their bras and panties come in basic, solids, lace and some really fun patterns.
Buy yourself a really artful and beautiful bra and underwear set that’s not crazy expensive. And throw away those old unattractive granny panties!
Those Romantic Comedies You Love To Watch
I know you don’t need to buy DVD’s since you can watch anything streaming these days. But what if you want to watch on a plane? Somewhere without a wireless connection? Hence, the Romantic Favorites DVD collection. Plus these movies are just so funny anyone will watch them with you. (Even your husband or boyfriend.)
These classic rom coms will make you want to fall in love with love. Bridget Jones; Love, Actually; About A Boy; Notting Hill. That line in Notting Hill when Julia Roberts says “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Swoon!
A New Reversible Tote Bag
Why? Because, if you are a woman, you are always hauling stuff around. Your tote bags are probably due for retirement. And if you are carrying your things around in a plastic Target sack you found in the backseat of your car, this reversible tote bag is definitely for you. Since this bag is reversible in color combinations like pink/taupe, black/red, emerald/brown; it’s like getting two bags for the price of one (and not having to decide on one color).
It even has a smaller tote attached to stash your cash and essentials. Handy and cute.
So there are a few Valentine’s Day gifts to give yourself. A good way to treat yourself. And without the calories and guilt of a big box of chocolates either!
