Giving Guide // For Your Sweetheart
Most of the blog world is engulfed in “gift guides” for the month of December, but as you may have read, I’ve decided to take a bit of a different approach this year…
Our family loves to celebrate the holidays throughout the entire season, and making it more about the moments and less about the gifts is something that I’m still learning to embrace. Instead of spending hours corralling somanycoolthings into collages or searching for tips to help with your own holiday prep, I’m sharing a few suggestions for creative ways that you can bless others with your presence instead of presents throughout the holiday season.
Last week it was ideas for your family and friends, and this week… It’s a handful of surprises for that special love in your life. :)
For Your Sweetheart
- Twinkle lights are an easy find at most stores this time of year, and sneaking to hang a strand (or two!) above the space where they sleep will have them weak in the knees in no time at all. Plug those babies in, keep the overhead lights off, and you’ve got yourself the perfect spot for snuggling.
- Spice up their morning coffee with freshly ground (organic!) cinnamon, peppermint extract or a fancy garnish to make their morning feel decadent.
- Hide a dozen little love notes in unexpected places with heartfelt words on heart-shaped cards. (Or a cheeky pack of gum would be just as cute.)
- Treat their tootsies to one free foot rub during the TV show of their choice. (Bonus points for having a cozy pair of socks or slippers waiting for them at the end.)
- Play cards by candle light… The conversation will be deeper, and your opponent will be less likely to peek at your cards (and more likely to gaze on your pretty face).
