Cheap and Easy Valentine's Gift Idea

This candle smells as good as it looks, and it's only $1!

For todays post, I threw together a quick, easy, and inexpensive gift idea.  All items shown (with the exception of the essie nail polish) are from the Dollar Tree!  This is perfect for a girlfriend*, daughter, roommate, or co-worker.  The essie nail polishes (usually about $8 a piece) hike up the price quite a bit, but they're totally replaceable with a different brand.  If you want to give something other than manicure items, there are plenty of other options to fill this adorable little box with.  Honestly, I made up this gift idea just as an excuse to buy the box.  I liked it that much.  I sure hope someone benefits from my impulse buy....

Other combinations could include:
Chocolates (of course!)
Lip balms
Scratch off tickets
Perfume rollers or samples
Starbucks gift card
Homemade treats
Hand lotion
Body Spray
Earring studs
Pez Dispenser
Gum
etc..

*You could make this into a funny gift for your mutually single girlfriends.  Fill the box with lollipops, and put a sign on it that says "Valentine's Day Sucks"
There were many February 14ths where my friends and I would've gotten a big kick out of that!
Oh, and if you haven't noticed, I love confetti, and add it to almost all of my little photo shoots.
  I think it adds a little something to the presentation.
Just a suggestion ;).

Gift Guide // Baby Girls

I put together some cute baby girl things that I've stumbled upon lately.  I'll do one for boys too, but I just love little girls' stuff so much, I had to start with this.  The clothing you see is from Boden.  They're a London based company, but we loved them so much here in the US, they've made their merchandise available to us through stores like Nordstrom.  They make great gifts because these aren't pieces you'll find at the super popular Babies R us or Target, so you won't need to worry about baby getting something they already have.  Plus the cuteness factor is off charts!
Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions on what you've known to be extra special gifts for a baby's first birthday :).  There's a ton of cute stuff out there!
 Thanks!
