When you're less than a week away, what do you get your husband/boyfriend for Valentines day?

I am a big fan of DIY thoughtful gifts for occasions like Anniversaries or Valentines Day. These are some ideas that I have done in the past for my husband.

1.  Give him one present for each of the senses and title it

2. Make him Breakfast in Bed


Since Valentines day is on a Thursday I thought it would be a good idea to 

Wake him up with breakfast/coffee in bed and of course have a valentines day card. I don't have much time to make breakfast, so I am sticking to a few pancakes/toast with eggs and bacon combinations. Don't forget to cut these into heart shapes!!
  • Recipe 1: Bacon Sheet Pancakes
  • Recipe 2: Fluffy AF panckakes
  • Recipe 3: Classic French Toast
  • Recipe 4: Prosciutto and Egg Toast (optional, top with arugula)
  • Recipe 5: Run out to your nearest breakfast spot and take it to go and bring it home before he wakes up. I honestly would be happy with a tudor's biscuit, a mcdonald's big breakfast, or a dunkin donut. LOL


​I also thought these recipes were SUPER cute if you're making breakfast for the whole family. ​

3. Create a box or jar full of date ideas

4. Tell him 52 reasons why you love him

5. Make him a coupon book full of surpises

From massages, to packing his lunch, to letting the dogs out, to watching HIS favorite show - let him choose when, no restrictions!
