Green Valentine's- Gift Ideas for the Gentlemen
So, I am just now getting to my Valentine's Day shopping (I always think I will work ahead, and then not so much). Valentine's Day, in our house, is not a huge gift-giving holiday. In fact, it generally doesn't get a ton of fanfare or even effort, because The Boy's birthday is the next week. But just because something isn't a big deal doesn't mean you have to do the last second Target or Walmart run and pick up something made unethically. Working just a week or two ahead means you can get (or make) a thoughtful gift that still doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Let's run through a couple of thoughtful ideas that might be perfect for the gentleperson in your life.

Help Keep him Organized- Tolietry bags or luggage organizers may seem too practical for a romantic gift, but not if your partner likes to travel! I especially like these bags from Felix Street Studio because you can personalize them and put a message inside. Something like "Man, you look disgusting, clean yourself up" or "Damn it! After shave bottle exploded again!" You know, really romantic stuff.

Throw Blanket and a Movie Night- I love these throw blankets from American institution Faribault Woolen Mills, but I can never think of a good opportunity to get someone one. I feel like people always have a lot of blankets. But Valentine's Day might be a perfect time to introduce a beautiful new blanket into your house with an indoor picnic or a movie night. These ones mostly have designs that look plenty masculine. Romantic, thoughtful, and cozy? Win.
Don't go too big, but these are some fun ideas to try. The most important thing is to be thoughtful, so you could also stop by a local consignment store for inspiration OR just ask your partner what he actually needs! Want more ideas?

I love this idea. I think I might write one to my daughter on the first day of school every year.
