The best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for all your sweethearts.

Even to this day, my mother makes each and every holiday special. Not always in an extravagant way, but with a consistent and thoughtful acknowledgement. This tradition is something that stuck with me as a child and one that I maintain sharing with Wesleigh this Valentine’s Day.

My husband considers Valentine’s Day a Hallmark holiday. We were never the couple that went out and overpaid for a prefix menu at a fancy restaurant, but I do think it’s a sweet excuse to show someone how much you care, especially your family.

Wes has been hard at work on her personalized Valentines for grandparents which we’ll drop in the mail soon. Other than that, we plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home with a themed candy board, a little mailbox and basket of goodies for Wes and her favorite new books that celebrate love.

If you’re looking for a few sweet Valentine’s Day gift ideas, or little tokens to acknowledge the holiday with your family, check out my gift guides.

Gifts for Her

The internets favorite hair dryer, cult favorite sneakers and the best hands free mom bag that will hold everything you need while chasing after the kids.

Gifts for the Kids

Inspired by the holiday of love, I selected this modern, blush dusted Lenox platter and proceeded to fill it with pink, red and white sweets. Most of the candy I picked up from Target and Trader Joe’s, then handmade the chocolate dipped pretzels.

How to create your Valentine’s Day candy board

First, pick your platter. I love working with Lenox. They have the most beautiful product and it’s all made here in America (for over 130 years).

Second, choose a color palette. Naturally, I stuck with pinks, reds and whites for a traditional Valentine’s scheme.

Place the smaller sweets in bowls around the board, and arrange the rest by type in a semi-methodical manner. To contain the bite sized candies, I repurposed these amazing Lenox nesting bowls.

Proudly serve and enjoy!
