Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

I’m way behind on this, so if you are a bit crazy, like me, doing last-minute shopping, than check out this Valentine’s Day gift idea for those that do last minute shopping.  Ideally I’d shop a few weeks ago, or more, you should too.  But life doesn’t always work that way.  So, with that in mind, here are some ideas for you, if you too are a last minute shopper.  Even better if you are shipping something or have a SO, parent or kid to shop for but won’t see them until the weekend.  You might have an extra day or two to sneak in there!

First, flowers.  Yes, flowers.  You can go to a florist shop, a floral department at your local grocery store, buy them from a street-corner-vender or get them delivered.  I love the flowers and the vase too by Teleflora.  I was able to pick them out online and fill everything out to have them delivered to my door.  Yes… I had them sent to me!  Besides that I needed them for the review, I also love flowers and as a single mom I’m not getting them from a boyfriend so I think it is okay to gift myself flowers.  They are pretty, smell good and brighten up my kitchen.

Candies and chocolates in heart shapes or red and pink colors are cute too.  I like to go to World Market to find them from other countries and get the kids unique sweets (I do this for Christmas stockings too).  The prices are a bit high there but they often have things on sale (check the end caps at the back of the aisles).

For up to 6 players too.  Are You Dumber Than a Box of Rocks had me at the title!  Draw a card, pick a category, shake the box and open the top.  Who has the correct answer?  You or the rock?  It is a fun trivia game with over 300 questions.  For 2 or more players.

Are You Getting Ready For Easter Next?

Easter is just around the corner!!  Check out these ceramic eggs by EggNots.  You can dy them, decorate them and give them as gifts.  Great for people allergic to eggs.  In my family there is about 15 of us decorating eggs and not that many wanting to eat a ton of eggs so these are a perfect solution.  We can decorate some hen eggs and some ceramic eggs and be able to hide both.
