I love Valentine’s Day — mainly because I love any excuse to make a day extra-special and themed, and these winter months tend to drag on after the density of holidays in the fall/early winter. It’s a perfect excuse to deck the halls in the dead of February. Below, a few of my favorite finds, recognizing that we’re still three weeks away from the holiday, but it’s easy to lose track of time and then find yourself wandering the seasonal aisle at CVS contemplating a lot of random impulse buys you don’t need. (Plus, I’m an anticipator.)
THINKING OF BUYING THESE BLANK HEART CARDS AND LETTING MINI DESIGN HER OWN VALENTINES WITH STICKERS (ALSO THESE)
LAST YEAR, I BOUGHT ADORABLE PERSONALIZED VALENTINES FROM THIS STORE
THESE WOULD BE FUN FOR A SLIGHTLY OLDER TODDLER
LOVE THIS DRESS, THIS DRESS, OR THIS ONE FOR MINI — BUT I SAW AND IMMEDIATELY ORDERED HER THIS (SEEN ABOVE) FOR THE OCCASION
FOR A BABY GIRL: THIS DRESS, THIS DUNGAREE SET (OMG), OR THIS DIAPER SET OR THIS SWEET HEART PRINT ONESIE UNDER SOME OVERALLS
FOR MICRO: THIS CABLEKNIT (LOOK FOR EVEN LESS WITH THIS!)
FOR ME: THIS SWEATER DURING THE DAY; THIS DRESS, THIS DRESS, OR THIS BLOUSE IN THE EVENING!
THESE TINY PAVE EARRINGS ARE SO SWEET
GOALS: A LE LION PERSONALIZED SWEATER AND A PAIR OF S&W HEART FLATS FOR THE OCCASION
MR. MAGPIE AND I DON’T EXCHANGE VALENTINE’S GIFTS (USUALLY INDULGE IN A SPECIAL DINNER INSTEAD), BUT — DROOL — WOULD LOVE THIS VINTAGE WATCH OR AN AURELIA DEMARK PENDANT NECKLACE FOR A SPECIAL YEAR
AND MIGHT GET MYSELF THIS FRAME WITH A PICTURE OF MY BABIES IN IT (HEART EYES — WOULD MAKE A THOUGHTFUL, UNDER $30 GIFT)
THIS MONOGRAM INITIAL NECKLACE WOULD ALSO BE A FUN TREAT — OR THIS CLASSIC GOLD HEART PENDANT
AMOUR FLATS (ON SUPER SALE)
JAMMIES FOR LITTLE ONES: THESE PINK HEARTS, THESE MORE EXPENSIVE PINK HEARTS (<<ADORE THIS BRAND), OR THESE HEART-PRINT JAMMIES (JUST ORDERED FOR BOTH MICRO AND MINI!)
JAMMIES FOR ME: THIS NIGHTIE OR THIS SET AND THESE CAT SLIPPERS
THIS PLACEMAT, THIS ONE ($5!), OR THIS ONE FOR MINI’S SPOT AT THE TABLE
THESE MELAMINE BOWLS FOR MINI’S MEALS/SNACKS
P.S. What to wear to a wedding this winter.
P.P.S. How to build a layette.
P.P.P.S. What I learned last year. How about you?
Ahh, it’s post-V-Day now, but I love these suggestions and will bookmark a few for next year! I, too, love a theme. 😉
I adore Le Lion — those custom sweaters are TO DIE FOR. Love love love.

Never a bad idea to plan ahead!!!
