❣️💌🍫 Getting Ready for Love Day 🍫💌❣️

I always feel like the best way to feel organized and ready for any holiday is to start planning about 6 weeks out. That allows to not worry about if something will arrive on time, but to just enjoy the holiday once it's here.


I will add to this blog posts over the next few days, and add a post on social media with each new add. Today we focus on planning gifts for others to make sure they arrive on time. 📬

  1. Plan gifts for significant other, kids, and others you want to love on.

  2. Organize class parties and order exchange gifts.

  3. Ordering outfits and accessories.

  4. Decorate your home with little bits of love.

  5. Order and organize materials for homemade gifts/cards.

3. Ordering holiday shirts and accessories


Who doesn't love snagging a new outfit for the holidays? Whether it's a cute and cozy shirt, or a new fit for going out for a date or party, you want to feel your best on Love Day!

  • Kids and Baby: I love Old Navy for holidays. Check out their current Valentine wear. They have cute, reasonable prints, and classic packages that can be worn for more than just the holidays. Here's another cute pack from Target that I snagged for my own girls. Mia Belle has some adorable sets, but sometimes they take several weeks to ship. I also love going to Jane for trendy options such as this or this. They have the most adorable little bodysuits for the littlest loves in your life, too! Just make sure to check the ship date to make sure they will be here in time for the holidays!

  • Women: I also love Jane for cozy tees while at classroom parties or to pair with a cardigan and jeans, like these, or these. Cute crewneck or long sleeved options are available, too! For a cute date night fit or dress, I would recommend Banana Republic outlet or Express. Check out this adorable Red Maxi Dress. This is a fun heart dress, too!

  • Men: Don't forget to get your man a new outfit for date night, too. Snag a new shirt or sweater for him at Banana Republic, or a fun new pair of heart boxers. Grab him a red Under Armour hoodie for him to lounge in if you just plan on staying in.

  • Accessories: I love snagging fun accessories for the kids like these little sunglasses or nail wraps. There are heart headbands, bows, bib and bow sets, and scrunchies! Don't forget to get yourself some fun earrings, or necklace too!

 

4. Decorating Your Home


Part of getting ready for the holidays is the fun of driving up the driveway to see new porch decor, and the warmth that a decorated table or fireplace can bring.

I hope some of these ideas give you inspiration to get your home in the holiday spirit for Love Day! Happy Decorating! ❤


 

5. Order and organize materials for homemade cards.

One of my favorite traditions with the kids is making homemade Valentine's. We have construction paper all over the table, and I have them write messages or draw pictures for one another. We stick them in felt Valentine envelopes, similar to this, to open on Valentine's Day. I keep them and love looking back on them from year to year.



Happy Decorating! ✂️🖍💌

 

Wishing you and those who are special to you a Happy Love Day! ❤️🫶🏼
