Valentines: Romantic Dinner Decor

So I went a little crazy with this post. I found too many cute ideas and had to include most of them. (Yes, this massive post does not mention everything I stumbled upon during my valentine’s saga. There was more, way more stuff.) So I kept the few items that would make the perfect decoration for Valentines’s Day. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using ALL of the decorations below. It might look like a cupid went on a decorating rampage in your living room. A few of them will achieve the mood you are going for.

Beeswax Candles

Only the finest beeswax is used to produce these slow-burning candles. They’re made in Illinois by the descendants of a French beekeeper who settled there in 1863. His high standards still prevail. Virtually smoke and drip free, the solid beeswax pillars and tapers feature top-quality, woven wicks that ensure even burning.

Valentines: Romantic Breakfast in Bed

That’s interesting, we usually celebrate Valentine’s at breakfast time or dinner time. I understand that we are usually working on Valentine’s Day but a special surprise lunch at a restaurant can also be quite romantic. It would not be fun to go back to work afterwards but then you can continue the celebrations at home after a light dinner :)

Today I’m showcasing some adorable serveware that would make a surprise in bed even more special.

Valentines Day Collection

Soft, organic shape, ruffled rims s and bright red heart designs give these pieces the homespun charm of handmade paper valentines. The sturdy, creamy-white stoneware provides endearing presentation for all sorts of foods, from breakfast to dessert.

Valentines: West Elm Gift Guide For Him

I believe finding a Valentine’s Day gift for guys is just as easy as finding one for girls. The difference lies on the type of gift you look for. Guys would prefer a useful gift over a thoughtful gift covered in hearts. Although, as a girl, I do give extra brownie points to heart covered gifts if they are useful. It’s like finding the most beautiful skirt you’ve seen all day and then you realize: IT ALSO HAS POCKETS! Boom! That skirt just became my favorite skirt ever.

So back to buying gifts for guys. West Elm has a great array of Men’s Valentine’s Day gifts and I have a few of them listed here. Go ahead and take a gander.

Valentines: West Elm Gift Guide For Her

I have jumped into a Valentine’s worm hole and have emerged with a vast amount of heart, love and unique ideas to celebrate this holiday. So please be prepared for the bombardment of Valentine’s Day posts that will be flooding Cool Gifting. I hope you are as excited as I am :) I am celebrating my 13th Valentine’s Day. That is bananas! Time just flies by if you’re not paying attention.

The first find I would like to share with you is West Elm’s Valentines Gift Guide For Her. I am a huge fan of West Elm’s style and they have some adorable gift ideas like the heart Tic Tac Toe. How cute are those chubby hearts?!

Heart Tic Tac Toe

West Elm’s take on this classic pastime has a wooden box with a lid that doubles as a playing board. Its iron game pieces are shaped like x’s and hearts (instead of o’s).

Escape is played in real-time, with all players rolling dice and taking actions simultaneously as they play along to a soundtrack.

Similar Finds: Gone Girl Collar Dress

I recently read the book Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. If you haven’t read it, I totally recommend that you do. It is an easy page turner that will keep you hooked to the very end. If you are not a fan of reading, you can check out the movie starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tyler Perry. It stays pretty close to the book and does a great job of portraying the characters and atmosphere. The movie is directed by David Fincher who also directed the TV show House of Cards, The Social Network, and Fight Club. *Side note: I Cannot wait for the third season of House of Cards to air this February! Yay!*

As I was saying, I read the book and was so pumped that I immediately watched the movie. In last scene the main character wears a gorgeous collared dress. It was a good idea to watch the movie because this dress became my new obsession. I searched for the Alice + Olivia Courtnee Combo Cuff Dress but it was sold out everywhere. However, instead of fretting (or going the ebay route) I decided to find similar dresses; and I am happy with my results.

Alice + Olivia Courtnee Combo Cuff Dress

This is the actual dress used in the movie. My favorite part is the back of the dress. Contrast cuffs and a fold-over collar lend a polished look to a fitted alice + olivia dress. The exposed zip cuts a clean line down the layered back. Long sleeves.

Adorable TONYMOLY Personal Care Products

I have to say that I do, at first glance, judge books by their cover. Sometimes awful book covers keep me from reading great books until they are personally recommended by a trusted source. On the other spectrum I have read some real turds because they had amazing books covers; but I’m not talking about books today. I’m talking about the cutest personal care products I have ever seen: TONYMOLY. I started seeing some ridiculously adorable lip glosses in the shape of a bunny when browsing Urban Outfitters; but today I spotted a fat Panda in the shape of an egg. What could that kawaii little chubby shape be holding? What is a Panda’s dream magic cream? Who cares! I’m buying that fat panda and the bunnies – of course I’m getting the bunnies.

TONYMOLY Panda’s Dream Magic Cream

ONYMOLY Panda’s Dream Magic Cream hydrates and brightens skin for a fresh, radiant glow. Apply to your skin as the last step in your skincare routine.
