Valentine's 2017 Top Ten

Welcome to my new Top Ten series. I love sharing things I am currently loving, desiring and fun gift ideas for those I love. To kick it all off, I'll be sharing ten things that I believe would make amazing and unique Valentines gifts for anyone who isn't desiring candy, jewelry or flowers.

TableTopics for Couples: Rick and I absolutely love going over these on road trips. We keep them in the car and pull them out when there's a lull during the drive. We love the fact that the questions make us discuss things we may not discuss otherwise.
Pandemic: A board game about epidemic disease is probably not what you expected to see on this list. Rick and I love this game. It's been wonderful to help foster communication between us. What couple doesn't need a low key way to work on their communication skills? We certainly do!
Rifle Paper Co Valentine Cards: I'm a sucker for words but just as much a sucker for beautiful cards with heartfelt words added to them. These would also make super cute decor to spread around your home.
Let's All Be Brave by Annie Downs: I'm a huge fan of this book. It's the perfect gift for a single gal as Annie discusses her singleness in regards to bravery. I'm a married gal in love with a book that discusses singleness in such a good way. Annie has a way to spur her reader regardless of life stage into stepping out in bravery regardless of their life stage.
Kate Spade Hot Air Balloon Chemise: This print is whimsically gorgeous. It seems like it would incite adventures in your dreams it's so pretty. I love that it's functional, not red or pink and not too overtly Valentines that weeks after you feel weird wearing it.
KitchenAid Electric Kettle + Hot Cinnamon Sunset Tea: I have a confession to make. I was so iffy on an electric kettle when we added it to our registry. I have fallen in love though. A cup of tea in minutes? Not having to use my coffee maker for slightly coffee water tea or heating up a mug of water in the microwave and having a cup that burns my hand? Y'all, this item is just too perfect. It's quickly becoming my favorite kitchen item. I am now in deep regret that I didn't have it sooner. Hot Cinnamon Sunset Tea was an incredible gift to savor when I received it from a friend so it's a must to go with your electric kettle.
Sweeter Than Honey by Lindsay Letters + Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils: I want this coloring book so bad it's sort of ridiculous. I love the idea of connecting coloring to God as you focus on scripture. Lindsay Letters has absolute gorgeous lettering. I can't wait to color, connect with God and then display these reminders around my home. Rick, you've been warned! Also, these are the colored pencils I love to use.
IRIS Cookware Organizer: I can't stand stacks of pots and pans in the cabinet waiting to be toppled over. I inevitably always need the one on the bottom and it's disastrous every time. My cabinets are a full deterrent from cooking for me. We got two of these about a month ago though and I love them. There's not a mess everywhere anymore and my kitchen cabinets don't make me want to burst into tears. Sanity is the perfect gift for anytime in my opinion.
DIY LUSH Gift Set featuring a few of my favorites - Ocean Salt Scrub, Intergalactic Bath Bomb, Mint Julips Lip Scrub + Honey Trap Lip Balm: I got a bunch of LUSH products from my mom for Christmas and am absolutely loving them. I feel like my bathroom is a bit more spa-like with these in it and it's such a wonderful way to treat yourself after a long day.
Cuisinart Fondue Maker: How sweet of a gift would this be given with a follow up gift of everything you need to make fondue that night? It could turn into the sweetest little date night. Our current Valentine's Day plan for after work is a fondue night. I'm now trying to figure out if we want cheese fondue or chocolate fondue. I love them both so this is a difficult choice. Good thing I have a few more weeks to decide!
