If this article found you it probably means you could use a little help in the gift giving department, or maybe you want some ideas to treat yourself. You might also be wondering what makes me a gift giving expert? Well, I certainly wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I have been told I am a good gift giver and a thoughtful one at that.
I’ll let you in on a little secret that has helped me tremendously when figuring out what to gift someone, pay attention to each and every conversation you have with the recipient. You’ll never know when a gift idea will be brought up into conversation and they probably won’t even realize they’re giving you an idea. For example, my sister in law mentioned a few months ago that she had to sleep at my in-laws with the fans going full blast because she needed the noise, well when her birthday came around I gifted her a white noise machine.
On this list you won’t find a bouquet of roses or heart shaped jewlery. Let’s think outside the box this Valentine’s Day and find unique gifts for every budget and for every type of special someone in your life. All the items featured also work for your gal pals, if you’re celebrating Galentine’s Day instead.

If the love of your life is a candle fan, let me tell you about the best smelling, clean burning, 100% natural soy wax that come in adorable mason jars. Antique Candle Co is a small business located in Indiana but ship all over. Two of my favorite scents are Tree Farm and Fall Harvest but fan favorites are Country Pear: A cozy blend of fresh golden pear with rich plum, highlighted with brown sugar vanilla and soft notes of roasted hazelnut and Momma’s Kitchen: A warm and cozy blend of green apples, bright peach, and fresh pine, highlighted with a heart of cinnamon and notes of sweet balsamic spice. What’s cool about this company is they also do sample packs so you can try out a whole bunch of different fragrances. These candles make great gifts and would be a sweet gift for the lucky person in your life this Valentine’s Day.
