Have I mentioned that I love Valentine's Day? Oh, well if you missed it - I do.  I know, while most of you are rolling your eyes and perhaps breathing into a paper bag, I have to say that I've always loved the holiday.  Whether I celebrated with myself, a loved one, or my friends, there's always been something that I love about this holiday.  And to that end, I love gifting.  I've put together three lists for you to help take one thing off of your plate for Valentine's day.  Scroll further for some of my favorites.

For her

For him

For the little ones

I scream, you scream, (I promise) she screams for ice cream.  I just received this maker and can't wait to use it (both for my own personal use and with my family).

In constant pursuit of fitness (and a healthy obsession with fitbit), what mother wouldn't want this piece to disguise her device?

Because I couldn't choose just one: literally all of Jonathan Adler's pillows are on point (especially the cheeky ones).

A pair of shades to hide the dark circles from a lack of sleep brought upon us by early bedtimes and endless nights of worry.

And if you are local and wanting to really give your mother the royal treatment, why don't you send her to get an amazing facial and blow out done by two of my favorite joints in Charlotte (because no mother ever said, 'i think i'll pass on the facial' #justsayin).

Mother's Day is quickly approaching and for those procrastinator's out there (no judgement!) I've put together a list of items to get your minds thinking about what to get your mother for Mother's Day.

Little Luxuries: Everyone loves a good candle set and you can't beat diptyque.  They are very pricey (voluspa makes a great budget-friendly version), but I love the small version b/c they are great to travel, as well as placing around the house.

Mama Needs a Cocktail: My love of moscow mules are well documented and usually these types of bar  wares are overlooked.  Everyone feels a little more fancy while drinking from copper mugs.

#selfie: Mother's are notorious for loading up their phones, memory cards, what-have-you, with images of their little ones, loved ones, and besties.  The problem is that we never actually print them out.  That's why I really like the resurgence of the instant camera - instant gratification (and it's pink!)

tea for two: I'm a sucker for a pretty tea set and a good cup of tea.  This set from Anthro has 'love' at the bottom of the cups and kettle and is so beautiful with the gold touches.

bangles: Kate Spade idiom bracelets are a perennial favorite and I love the 'mother said so' version.  They are great stacking bracelets or worn on their own and at a great price point.

pom-poms: Pom-poms is such a fun word and even better when on a scarf that I can throw on and look instantly put together.  I swear, they are my go-to these days.

rose-colors sunnies: Because who doesn't love a pair of fun shades?

book worm: I love a good coffee table book and I also love Diane Keaton.  If neither one of those items are your cup of tea, there are tons of great books that often we overlook as gifts, but it's a thoughtful way to show a book-lover you care.

blooms: When in doubt, you can't go wrong with fresh blooms.  I love picking up from tulips, wrapping them in a little kraft paper and ribbon and bringing them with me.  Not only do they make great mother's day gifts but hostess gifts as well.
