Thom and I have never really gotten into Valentine’s Day. Most years we don’t even go out to dinner. It’s not because I don’t want him fawning over me or showering me with gifts. It’s just that he’s never really been the kind of guy to think ahead and plan out romantic gestures like that. He’s more the kind of guy who offers up a trip the mall to let me pick something out.
But if he were the kind of guy who wanted to surprise me with gifts this Valentine’s Day, here’s a few things that would surely do the trick.


The Naked Palettes from Urban Decay. I love them both, but they are like $50 each so it’s not just something I can justify buying myself on a whim. Urban Decay makes the best eye shadows. I almost never wear anything else. My personal favorite shades are Mushroom, AC/DC, Misdemeanor, Sellout, and Mildew. Can be purchased at Sephora or Ulta.

Penguin Book Cover postcards from Anthropologie. $25
These are adorable and I have a project in mind for them.

This kick ass shirt with my current favorite tv character Ron Swanson. $25
Are you currently coveting anything? Do you and your sweetie celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Hi! I am new to your blog… I blog hopped and landed here! I am actually hoping for a night out on the town and a shopping trip for my hubby! He is super good about suprises, but I told him this year I would like to go shopping for home stuff!! Good luck… I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

I LOVE Urban Decay! I bought it on a whim and never looked back. I wish it wasn’t so pricy…but so, so worth it!
My hubby and I just went out to dinner, we don’t make a big deal of Valentine’s Day.
