Unique Gifts For Valentine’s Day ~ $75 Indigo GC Giveaway

in Everyday on 02/01/18

“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.” – Max Muller, Philologist ….and in my house, you can’t let Valentine’s Day slip by without out the perfect gift!  Yes, in our house we do prezzies for Valentine’s Day.  They don’t need to be big gifts or massive romantic gestures, but sweet and thoughtful gifts from the heart are appreciated.  But where to start.  Chocolate and flowers are always a good idea, but that has been DONE!  The perfect solution?  A quick trip to Indigo!  You won’t believe what you can find.  Here my friends are our unique and wonderful Valentine’s Day gifts for the ones you loved the most, all in one fabulous place.

For the Littles:

For the little people on your list, you can’t go wrong with a love-themed book.  We adore this one; Happy Valentine’s Day, Little Critter.  So cute and a perfect read before bedtime.

Up that little one’s fashion game with some truly adorable onesies!

Or super cuddly PJ’s.  Why don’t they make cozy PJ’s like that for adults?

For the Teen or Tween:

Shopping for teenagers is no longer a challenge.  There are so many options available at Indigo.ca.  One of our favourite choices, the Locked diary with whimsical hearts in black and pink.  Perfect for secret keeping.

Want to help up the comfy factor in your daughter’s room?  A throw pillow for the bedroom is always a good idea and Indigo offers so many cozy choices.

 

Perhaps accessories are the key to your teen or tweens heart.  Indigo carries the cutest wallet, this one is called, aptly enough, the Floral Emma Wallet.

For Her:

Coffee Mugs that state the obvious with a side of humour.

 

You can’t go wrong with a scarf.  Infinity, jersey or cashmere oh my!

 

Perhaps the one you love has cold feet?  Her perfect gift may include the Checker Heart Reading Socks.  Now all she needs is a good book to go with them.

For Him:

Who doesn’t love a candle?   This one is the Mantra candle with warm notes of frankincense and cedar it’s masculine without being too overpowering.

It’s easier than he thinks to have a healthy lunch.  Why not snag him a super fab bento box and pack all his favourites in it?Do your kiddos give Dad a gift for Valentine’s Day?  Then these sweet little gifts may be exactly what Cupid ordered.

 

Are you ready for the most romantic day of the year?  More importantly, are you ready to do some shopping?  I know I am and I’m thankful Indigo helped me get ready all in one stop!  Now I’m excited to pass on this news; one lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs will WIN a $$75 Indigo Gift Card so they can do some shopping of their very own!

To enter simply click on through to Indigo.ca then come back and tell me what you found that would make the perfect Valentine’s Day Gift?!  Then use the Rafflecopter form provided to earn those extra entries. Good luck.

      I found the perfect gift for my daughter on Indigo! She has the LOL Surprise Confetti Pop on her Wish List for her birthday this month. Not only are they currently ‘In Stock’ but so are the Lol Surprise Pets!! She would be ecstatic to receive either of these surprises for Valentine’s Day.

      Oooh, the heart reading socks in your post would be such a great Valentine’s gift for both my older daughter and for me! And for my youngest I found the Ty Beanie Boos Romeo Pink Dog on the Chapters website – this would be perfect for her since she loves Beanie Boos! We don’t do big gifts for Valentine’s Day, so these little ones would be just perfect!

      Indigo has the best pillows. There are a few there that I would love to buy for my hubby. They also have a lot of cool “Canadiana” type gifts. I just love them. I’d love some for Valentine’s Day too.
