Gifts for Her & A Giveaway



Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.  I mentioned in my last post that I felt those dreaded signs of a cold, and I was right.  Good news, though - on day two I feel congested but not awful.  I used Zicam every five hours, and I think that is what did the trick.  

This post is directed towards the husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and/or significant others in your lives.  I have some suggestions for them.  I'll do my best, but I can't promise miracles. 





Hi Guys!  My name is Katie, and I am here to remind you that Valentine's Day is less than two weeks away!  No need to sweat, I'm here to help.








Do her jammies date back to her college days?




How about a  plush terry robe to wrap herself in on these cold winter mornings? 




I have an Ugg robe, and it is my favorite.  This one is reversible - perfect for the young mom who is usually accessorized with baby spit-up. 



Is she always cold?
No spats over the thermometer with one of these!







Do her slippers look like they have seen better days?
These are beyond comfy.










Does she need some new workout clothes?
Now here's an important point,  If she does not work out, do not give her the clothes.  She may take it as a hint, and you will be in for a very chilly Valentine's Day.


















Bloomingdales

Jewelry is always an appreciated gift.
And it doesn't have to be hearts.
Diamonds will do, as well.




Amazon

Is she a Hoda wannabe? 






Amazon

Does she keep her jewelry spread all over her dresser?




Amazon

Maybe a cute little dish for her trinkets?







Amazon

How about a weekend bag with an attached note saying that you planned a romantic weekend away?







Amazon

Better yet, how about a full week away?




Amazon

Does she need a new briefcase?





Amazon

Or a wallet?






Amazon

Or a purse?








Amazon

Maybe she needs a Calgon Take Me Away moment.








Amazon

Masks are the hottest things this year.
This kit is the answer to all her skin needs.






Amazon

This is a hot new brand.  My girls love it, and it is a reasonable price. She will be very impressed with your research.






Amazon


Is she constantly examining her pores in the rearview mirror? 
How about a face steamer?







Ulta

If she loves makeup, she will appreciate a new set of brushes.





Amazon

Has her makeup mirror seen better days?






Amazon


She'll smile and think of you when she gets into her toasty car. 





Amazon

Does she end up sleeping in the guest room because of your snoring?  A sound machine will keep her spooning you all night long.

That's all I've got, guys.
Good luck.





Last but not least... I have a giveaway!

As I mentioned in my last post, I attended a Supper With The Authors this week.  



The books discussed were:  Strangers And Cousins and The Girls With No Names.




The authors, Leah and Serena, are darling, and the books sound great. I am giving away autographed copies of both books.


To enter, all you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what you would like to see more of as far as content goes on PEN in 2020.  I'll announce the lucky winner on Friday. 

Until next time...

50 Gift Ideas For Your Sweetheart


Hello, dear friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Ours was a lot of fun.  We went over to our friends' home for a spectacular dinner.  Of course, I took photos and will share them with you at a later date.  We also took in a movie on Sunday.  It was the Mister's choice.  He liked it, me - not so much. 

Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away.  Have you thought about what you will get for your sweetheart?  Or perhaps a sweet little something for yourself?


For the fashion plate







These are the Mister's favorite jeans.
They are lined in fleece!




















For the work out guy






















































For the guy who likes his cup of joe


















For the traveling man




Attach a note saying that you are taking him away for the weekend. 











For the guy who likes travel and basketball.










For the guy who may need a little help with his organization skills 
























When his favorite room is the kitchen





Soup anyone?







The Mister makes me a WW soup every weekend.
He then freezes it in these 1 cup cubes.







Soup + warm bread = perfect combo








Amazon






The Mister uses his air fryer every weekend.






The Mister bought me these gloves because I have a tendency to burn myself when I make my WW muffins.  
Love them!










Amazon

Give him the gift of not having to go outside to grill.
This one is smokeless!








Amazon




Amazon


These infrared guns make the Mister feel like he is the James Bond of the grill.




Amazon


For all those lucky sweethearts that can actually grill every month of the year!




For the guy who needs to get charged





Amazon

Every time he charges his phone, he'll think of you!









Amazon

The Mister has a thing for chargers.  
He bought this set for our St. Martin trip.
Now I can't accuse him of hogging the charger!  







Amazon


Another one of the Mister's faves.




Channeling his inner James Bond


Amazon





Amazon






Amazon

Amazon

If your sweetheart has a long commute, an audible subscription is a great gift.  It took a while for me to talk the Mister into listening to a book while commuting.  But now he loves it.  He won't admit that it was my idea, btw.
  
It's done wonders for his mood when he arrives home.




Amazon

Does he need to up his reading game?
I have this one and it's waterproof!



Is he a gadget guy?

Amazon

Protect his eyes while giving him music to his ears.

Another way to protect his baby blues.

I bought one of these for the Mister for Christmas.




A gift for him that's really for you

Until next time...
