Pampering Gifts for Valetine's Day

Flowers or chocolates are nice. But honestly, I am not that type who like receiving these kinds of gifts. I would much prefer getting pampering gifts - stuff that I could actually use. And my husband knows it too well so he has taken a hint over the past few years. You know the type - shower gel, body scrubs, scented candles. These win me over!

If you are this type, too, you might want to send over these items to your man:

French Girl Organics Sea Soak
Organic Blendz Coffee Body Scrub
The Face Shop Green Tea Face Mask
Kai Reed Diffuser
The Candleroom Lavender Essential Oil
Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Night Fragrance Lotion
Little Giraffe Chenille Robe

What other types of gifts do you like to receive, especially on Valentine's Day?

There are two websites that I currently love to shop from that you can take advantage of for budget-friendly gifts for mothers. Take a look at the Zaful floral midi dress spring 2017 collection and the Rosegal denim mini dress spring 2017 promotion, or check my picks below.

Luxury Holiday Gift Guide

The holidays is the time of the year wherein we splurge a little bit when buying gifts, whether for loved ones or ourselves. With luxury gift items, it is important to get an early headstart. If you're out of ideas, I've listed some of my coveted items here:

Uncommon Goods + Unique Gift Ideas


I am of the opinion that accessories and jewelries can elevate a simple outfit. Even when you are wearing a simple tee and jeans, pairing it with the right accessories can transform the outfit. Therefore, I always relish the idea of stumbling upon a website that offers unique jewelry options. When I was introduced to Uncommon Goods, I knew right away that this would be a great website to support. You can check out the website's unique collection of handmade jewelry here

When I tied the knot last year, I bought my bridesmaids and maid of honor earrings as gifts so they all wore the same earrings on my wedding day. Jewelry is and always will be a classic gift idea for special occasions like weddings, bridal showers, birthdays and more. You will be spoiled for choice at Uncommon Goods; just check it out for yourself on their website. I've also included some gift ideas that you can choose from, especially if you are attending a special occasion soon:


Jewelry Organization

Handmade Bracelets


Mixed Metals Hinged Cuff - shop here
Aquamarine Ebb and Flow Cuff - shop here


Handmade Necklaces & Earrings


Seafoam Bar Earrings - shop here

My picks are merely scratching the surface; in fact I had a hard time picking my faves with so many unique styles. From necklaces to earrings, to pendants and other customized jewelry, it's easy to find a style that would suit your personal taste (or that of your intended recipient). You can check out more unique gifts here

Uncommon Goods was founded in 1999 and quickly carved its niche in the industry for its commitment to bring the most unique, handcrafted jewelry while being eco-friendly. Not only are the methods used for production safe for humans, animals and the environment, but majority of the materials used are recycled or upcycled. In addition, their website becomes a platform for artists and designers to showcase their handmade creations. 

On top of an eco-friendly business practice, Uncommon Goods give back to the community. As part of the company's core values, they want to utilize the creative talent of artists to create a positive impact on the environment and the immediate community. To date, they have donated up to $1 Million to charities via the Better to Give program, of which the company has been a part of in the last 12 years. You can learn more about the company's story here

What other reason do you need to support such a purpose-driven company?

Gift Ideas for Him

Just because the holiday season is over does not mean you can't splurge on your man's gift. If you're like me, I am not the best when it comes to buying gifts for my man, and so I need every help I can get. And in most cases, I tend to be late when giving gifts because I find it hard to choose. Or in some cases, I'm just way too hard on myself - always seeking out THE best gift to sweep him off his feet

But practical gifts that he can use for everyday will be just as appreciated. I did some shopping online a few weeks ago as I, too, was looking for the best gift for my man. If you haven't got yours a gift yet, here are some ideas for some post-holiday gifts:

Which of these do you think will make a great gift for him?
