Last minute gift ideas… Valentine’s Day is only 1 week away!

You can’t go wrong with chocolates, flowers, and a romantic dinner- those are a given. Hey, you score points for remembering the day! But what about those of you looking for new ideas, or trying to think outside the heart-shaped box? We’ve put together just a few gift options that might hit the mark. (Spoiler alert: “heart-shaped box” was a play on words… all of these options have heart shapes.)

Many of us- moms, dads, grandparents alike, have several little loves in our lives. A thoughtful keepsake (such as a decorative platter with sweet little thumbprints pictured above), could be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. If you’re not afraid to get a little crafty, Simply Kierste Design has the step-by-step guide just for you!

Along the same lines of cherishing your loved ones, is this personalized bracelet found on UncommonGoods.com. How cute is that! Side note: This happen’s to be Rachel’s favorite (the newest member of the Sadie’s Nest team).

Most of you probably already know that Sadie has a love of Nordic Ware. (There are worse things in life…) So if you happen to be the Valentine of a baker, this might be your best option. And not that you have selfish intentions; however, this could be the gift that keeps on giving. Because, when your loved one bakes with it, they are highly likely to give you one of their homemade delectables. (Just a little something to keep in mind.) You can find this beautiful pan at William Sonoma.

If that special someone in your life has just moved into their first apartment, or bought a new home… a decorative piece might be the solution for you. A reusable gift, like this heart-shaped wreath from Target is only $19.99! And bonus; they will think about you every year when they put it on display!

Last but not least, are these vintage-themed and nostalgic-inspired pins found on Etsy.com. I love the age-old romanticism of someone carving their initials into the bark of a tree… And of course there is the classic tell-tale significance of someone being in a “steady” relationship once they’ve been “pinned”.

Whatever you decide to do, I’m sure it will be perfect- after all, it’s from you!
