February’s “10 things” is arriving a few days early…10 days before Valentine’s Day to be exact. I figured this way, when Feb 10th rolls around and you still don’t have the perfect gift for your special person, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. đŸ˜‰
I’ve always been a sucker for Valentine’s Day, which is shocking considering I don’t love hearts or the color pink. Would you believe that a day-dreaming drama queen like myself is a hopeless romantic? Say it isn’t so…
Do you have any big plans for the holiday? We spend the evening in and make a nice dinner together. We’ve spent plenty of V-Days apart from each other so we truly cherish special holidays that we get to be together. Well, we cherish all days that we get to be together, but it’s fun to go all-out for holidays. đŸ™‚
I struggle with Valentine’s Day gifts because not everyone (me) appreciates the ooey gooeyness that is often associated with the 14th day of Feb.
With only 10 days before V-Day, you still have time to round up the perfect non-lovey dovey gift for the hims and hers you love in your life! Here are 10 ideas to get you started.
1. Lodge Color Dutch Oven in Island Spice Red – I believe that every kitchen should contain at least one red item. And I also believe that every kitchen should contain a dutch oven. This one’s a win-win in my book.
2. Tom’s ‘Classic – Dot’ Woolen Slip-On – Red shoes with white polka-dots dots spice up any outfit. ‘Nuff said.

3. fashionABLE selam scarf – These scarves rock and make the best gifts. fashionABLE is a non-profit organization that creates jobs for women in Africa who have escaped prostitution and sex trade.
4. Breakfast in bed! (and by breakfast I mean chocolate covered strawberries and mimosas…)
5. NatureBox subscription – Especially good for the health nut in your life. Each month a delightful little conglomeration of healthy snacks (that actually taste good!!) and recipes will arrive at their doorstep. So easy, so awesome. Use promo code HEALTHY to get $5 off!
6. A specific item that much drool has been lost over from this site. {Viper Pilot, are you reading this? heh heh…}
{what I meant to write for #6} 6. Valentine’s Day socks. – You should really own at least one pair of socks for every holiday, anyway. I love socks.
7. Personalized pub glasses – Just don’t forget the five pack!
8. A dozen roses – Because why stop at just one? đŸ™‚
9. Reisenthel carrybag in ruby red polka-dots! PERFECT for a romantic picnic for two! These are are made in Germany and are all the rage here! I love mine and carry it with me every day. I was tickled pink (or should I say red?) when I found them on Amazon!

10. What I love About You – Allow me just one lovey dovey item on this list, please! This fill-in-the-blank book is a “fresh way to say I love you.” Just a little something cute and fun. đŸ™‚
