Valentines Gift Guide With Giveaway

by Jo-Lynne on February 3, 2009

The winning numbers are 9 and 86. Congratulations, turtle and Darcie – Such The Spot!!! I hope you love your Free AgentGo portable hard drives.

It seems like Valentines has become the next biggest gift-giving holiday after Christmas. I know it’s a contrived Hallmark holiday, but I can’t bring myself to ignore it. Perhaps it’s because it falls in the dead of winter when everything seems so dull and dreary. There’s nothing like a bit of pink and red Valentine cheer to infiltrate the gloom and doom of winter! And how about a GIVEAWAY!? That should get this house a’rockin’! Scroll down to the bottom and see how to win one of TWO SeaGate Go portable hard drives.

Here are some super fun ideas for the loved ones on your Valentines gift list! I’m sorry this is so late. I meant to wrap it up MUCH earlier than this!

For Valentines Greetings
Personalized fruit roll-ups are a unique way to wish someone a Happy Valentines Day — perfect for classrooms and parties. (And if it’s too late to get these in time for Valentine’s, Easter is RIGHT around the corner. I know, I know. Don’t shoot the messenger.) $29.99

02-048-340260 Paper Shouts has a whole assortment of valentines for kids to hand out in their classrooms or send to family and friends. Check out the Valentine Collection to see what they have to offer. These are SO much nicer than the drugstore variety. For 15% off your order, use the code musings at checkout. This offer expires February 4, 2009. (That’s tomorrow! RUN! QUICK!)

For Kids

conv-heart-coin-purse-s1 This Conversation Heart Coin Purse is available in 3 different designs — perfect for little girls. The purses are 3″ x 3″ and read “Cutie,” “Sweet Thing” and “Princess Power” and are available exclusively at Hallmark Gold Crown stores for $4.95.

firstframe You can’t go wrong with festive pajamas. The Children’s Place has cute ones. I picked up some cute nighties for my girls just yesterday. They are already 25% off! Also check out Gap and Gymboree.

Skullcandy® INK’d® Earbud Headphones in red are the perfect Valentines Day gift for that fiesty teenager. Available at Radio Shack, they are currently on sale for $17.99.

For Teachers

I cannot recommend highly enough the book 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny by Phillip Done. You can read my review here. $14.57

kid4 Another cool teacher gift would be the handpainted kitchen tools Sarah reviewed a while back.

Or what about a box of the Barefoot Contessa Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix? Read my review here. These are FAB-U-LOUS! $9.95

For Grandparents

mombook Wouldn’t Grammie just love a Photo Book of her favorite grandkids? PhotoWorks is offering 25% off custom Photo Books with the code 25offbook at checkout. Offer ends February 14, 2009.

For Her

yhst-26203538650626_2040_1900038 There’s always jewelry. I just love this Donna Bracelet $90 by Nicole Vazquez Jewelry. She has many more gorgeous pieces to choose from.

154__250x250_j17 Gibson Pewter has a lovely selection of pewter gifts, perfect for your Valentine sweetheart, whether it be your wife, girlfriend, or daughter. These earrings $15 and these $15 are precious, as is this key chain $12.

How lovely is this Melt my Heart necklace from Hi-Strung Designs? I love the fresh, modern styling with a black rubber cord suspending Sterling Silver stardust beads and a richly colored Swarovski crystal faceted heart. $35

img_0566_22 How cute and innovative is this Chilly Jilly? It’s a wrap in a small drawstring bag designed to be kept in your purse at all times. Made of the same micro fiber as popular athletic wear, it is light weight, crease free, soft and provides the perfect amount of warmth without compromising style. $30

il_430xn51458975 These wooden handle purses by Jennifer Ladd are so sweet, and affordable too at $36 – $48.

pink-car-bag If practical gifts are more her speed (or if you’re looking for a gift for a teenage or college-age daughter), this pink Car Safety Kit is adorable. It includes jumpstart cables, steel hammer, mobile phone rechargers, ice scrapper, protective gloves, notepad, pencil, and 3-in-1 torch. $48

This Glam Personal Media Case is too cute. I would LOVE one of these for traveling. *HINT* (Hope my husband’s reading!) This smartly designed case can hold and charge any of your three favorite electronic devices. $14.99

This red Tassimo Hot Beverage System by Bosch is a one-cup wonder. The Tassimo brews exceptional coffee and espresso drinks in a flash. With a convenient 2-liter water tank and carrying handle. An auto-cleaning system cleans the piercing unit after each cup. $169.99

For Him
alltjjjh-1 All Natural Tough Guy Hand Salve is made of essential oils to make this a wonderfully emollient hand & body balm. Whether you’re a welder, a mountain biker or a golfer, a little of this goes a long way to healing dry, cracked, Tough Guy hands! $15.99

small-lov-new1 pak-new1 These LovePak cards are a seriously cute way to remind your hubby why you married him. They are sexy without being in poor taste. Visit the link to see the entire collection. $12 for set of 6.

The Remington PG-350, a 7-in-1 personal groomer, is a versatile, cordless groomer that makes it easy for busy guys to maintain their own facial hair – especially in-between visits to the salon or barber. The rechargeable unit comes with self-sharpening titanium-coated blades for sharp, precise cuts. $19.99.

sweet-muse-valentines-day-gift-tin-resized If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, I have several delicious ideas for you! First, Sweet Muse offers a tin of a dozen fudge, heart-shaped brownies, individually wrapped with a quote about love inside, and tied with a beautiful red satin ribbon. $27.

rushburn-english-toffee-gift-tin My husband’s favorite candy is toffee, so I perked up when I heard that Rushburn Toffee (both English and Espresso) is available in stylish gift tins in half-pound or one-pound sizes, as well as in decorative gift boxes in three-ounce, half-pound and one-pound sizes starting at only $5.00.

41lbzuyk79l_aa280_ And if healthy eating is more his style, how about a George Foreman 360 grill, in red of course! With grills on both sides, it seals in juices, enhances flavor and retains nutrients. A specially designed grease tray catches fats and oils, providing healthier meal solutions. The double-sided grill also allows for speedier cooking time – it cooking in about half the time. This retails for $179.99 but it’s on sale right now at Amazon.com for $142.49 with free Super Saver Shipping!

For Pets

These sweaters from Red Dog House $35-$45 are just too cute for words. And online shoppers can use the discount code sweater09 to receive the buy one get one half off discount from Feb 13-15 at Red Dog House. If your furry friend is your Valentine this year, then pamper your pooch with a Chilly Dogwool hand-knit sweater. Only in America…

For Anyone (Well, okay, so not for your pet…)

mhudi_pinotage What could be more appropriate for Valentine’s gift giving than a bottle of wine? Seven Sister’s Bukettraube and M’Hudi Pinotage are two award-winning wines from Heritage Link Brands. Both the Pinotage and Bukettraube are varietials typically used just in South Africa, with the latter having a sweet golden flavor and the former a rich, smoky taste — or so they told me. I’m trying to finagle a product sample so I can bring you my first-hand opinion!

Finally, I included these in my holiday gift guide back in November, but the FreeAgent Go is now available in pink and red — perfect for Valentines gift giving. My husband (the techie in the family) thinks these are awesome — it’s the thinnest hard drive, comes in a variety of colors, and includes a docking station to make it easy to update and organize your desktop while also being the perfect portable solution for taking your content wherever you go. Not only can you give the gift of protecting content, but you can upload your special someone’s favorite pictures and music to the drive as part of the gift.

WIN IT: I get to give away a 320 GB FreeAgent Go in red* AND one in pink*! Each is a $129.99 value. This contest is available to U.S. residents. I will randomly select 2 winners next Wednesday, February 11th.

Here are the rules for the contest:

1) REQUIRED: Leave a comment on this post telling me what products from this gift guide you are most excited about discovering.

2) OPTIONAL: Link to this contest on Twitter OR your blog OR email a few friends about it. Basically, spread the word in whatever way is most convenient for you. Then come back here and leave a 2nd comment telling me which you did.

*Red and pink are only availble for PC. If you are a Mac user (like me!) and you win, you will receive silver.

15 mah-meeee February 3, 2009 at 11:35 pm: definitely the tassimo hot beverage system…. my hubby (and myself) definitely are shopping around for anything that will give us more caffine. (my one year old does not sleep through the night…)

18 Phyllis@Aimless Conversation February 4, 2009 at 3:34 am: The toffee looks good (I’m hungry.)
I love the pink car kit. I’m ALL about pink.
The jewelry is very pretty as well. A girl simply can not have too much jewelry. =)
19 Kim February 4, 2009 at 6:53 am: My husband could desperately use the Hand Salve. He’s got man hands LOL.
Great stuff on here. Good ideas.
Blessings,
Kim
20 Kim February 4, 2009 at 6:56 am: I just put this on my facebook to help spread the word.
Hugs.
Kim
21 Nikki February 4, 2009 at 7:22 am: I’m loving the FreeAgent. Never heard of it before – but is something my husband really needs. He’s been working on a research project and called twice last week at the crazy hour of 7:30AM (just as the kids and I are madly packing lunchboxes, backpacks and bookbags and trying to get out the door!) to ask me to email him something from his computer at home. Looks like the FreeAgent would make it easy for him to have everything on the go.

And the Jennifer Ladd bags are adorable!
22 Monica February 4, 2009 at 8:04 am: I saw the Chilly Jilly and laughed. That is SO perfect for me. I’m one of those people that is always cold- being able to pack it up in a nice small bag would be perfect!
23 Dana February 4, 2009 at 8:10 am: I love the wooden handle purses, and will have to check those out a bit more. And the Children’s Place PJs are cute. I’ll be on the lookout for a discounted set. Thanks!
24 jen@ourdailybigtop February 4, 2009 at 8:29 am: I love purses so Jennifer Ladd is a cool find. Also like the tough guy hand salve (can gals use it too?).
25 Kellyn February 4, 2009 at 8:35 am: I love the car kit, so practical but wonderful for any teenager. I wish they had this when I started driving, i wouldn’t have left those jumper cables in the garage…lol
26 Carolyn Gonzalez February 4, 2009 at 9:03 am: I never know what to get hubby but I love the The Remington PG-350, a 7-in-1 personal groomer. That is something he would love. And I adore the George Foreman 360 grill. I have a small one but this new 360 is awesome!
27 Lisa February 4, 2009 at 9:04 am: Oh my…I’m in awe over the wooden handle purse! LOVE these!
28 Krystyn February 4, 2009 at 9:50 am: I think the fruit roll ups are a really cute idea.
29 Amy February 4, 2009 at 10:02 am: I LOVE the Tassimo Hot Beverage System – I’ve been wanting to splurge on something like this for awhile. Coffee seems to becoming increasingly important around here!!
30 Tidymom February 4, 2009 at 10:47 am: Oh the Jennifer Ladd wooden handle purses are to die for!! I love me a ca-ute purse!!

~Tidymom
31 Stephanie February 4, 2009 at 10:49 am: The fruit roll-ups of course, that’s awesome!!!!
32 Tidymom February 4, 2009 at 10:49 am: I tweeted this contest too!!

~Tidymom
33 Susan February 4, 2009 at 10:57 am: Well, Dh may disagree, but I’m most excited about the hand balm. The man seriously has rough hands from the yardwork, etc.
34 windy February 4, 2009 at 11:38 am: I love, love, love the FreeAgent in RED!
35 windy February 4, 2009 at 11:39 am: I am blogging about it now!
36 The Mom Jen February 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm: I love the Chilly Jilly Wrap! That is gorgeous and looks so soft and feminine, thanks for the chance!
37 olivegrl February 4, 2009 at 1:07 pm: Love to try the Tassimo Hot Beverage System. Looks like perfect pick me up in the morning.
38 Leslie M. February 4, 2009 at 1:24 pm: I’m the most excited about the Tassimo. I’m a coffee LOVER and I am always cold so I am always making coffee or tea, even in the middle of summer. ALL your stuff looks interesting to me though.
Thanks for a GREAT giveaway!

45 Carol @SheLives February 4, 2009 at 4:43 pm: I think the hand-painted kitchen tools are a great gift idea. And that Nicole Vasquez bracelet would totally feed my bracelet fettish.

The FreeAgent Go? I gotta have it! Definitely coveting it hard right now.
46 Michelle February 4, 2009 at 5:26 pm: Excited and coveting the red Tassimo Hot Beverage System by Bosch. I often crave just a cup for me and it’s not worth the effort to brew a whole pot of coffee. Not to mention hubby likes a different brand than I do and drinks far more. I’d love a single-cup system of my own and red goes with my kitchen. I’m emailing him the link with a Valentine’s Day hint.

And of course I can use the FreeAgent Go! Too bad the red and pink are only for PCs but I’d definitely do silver if I won. Thanks!

61 Bethany February 4, 2009 at 8:16 pm: I hope someone gets ME the wooden handle purse. However, V-day is also my husband’s birthday, so I don’t get a Valentine’s gift!

If I win the contest, I will give him the hard drive–a perfect Valentines/birthday present. And I’ll buy myself the purse.
62 Jean D. February 4, 2009 at 8:16 pm: I love Bosch’s red “Tassimo Hot Beverage System.” I would LOVE a cup of coffee right now after dinner. But that’s the deal–one cup has to be my limit, or I won’t sleep. I SO covet this nifty-keeno red Tassimo.

I also covet the George Foreman 360 Grill. I have a little George Foreman grill, which is fine when I’m cooking for myself, but I’d get a lot of use out of a larger size. I’d like to cook ahead for myself, and cook for several people when the occasion arrives.

Thanks for a generous giveaway!

65 Leane February 4, 2009 at 8:31 pm: The products I want to discover more about are the Remington PG-350(for my man), the George Forman 390 Grill (for the house), and the Skullcandy® INK’d® Earbud Headphones (for myself)…the baby doesn’t know any better yet so I’m not buying him a gift anyways……great review! I would love to get a 320 GB FreeAgent Go in red! I have concerns for our aging laptop and I would love nothing more than to back up our files…especially all of our pictures! Winning one of these is going to make the best Valentine’s gift for someone…..I’ll keep wishing and hoping.
66 Steph @ Red Clay Diaries February 4, 2009 at 8:36 pm: Actually, what I really am excited about is the portable hard drive. I’ve been in the market for one. And it’s so doggone CUTE!
67 andrea v February 4, 2009 at 8:37 pm: i love everything. If i had to pick i would love the Tassimo and the barefoot contessa book.
68 Holly P February 4, 2009 at 8:41 pm: Entry #1:

71 Emily Kay February 4, 2009 at 9:26 pm: I’d LOVE to win one of those hard drives! I need something to start storing videos of my kiddos on and this would be perfect because I could take it to my family’s house and show them off! Oh, and the girly car kit CRACKED me up…I know several girls I should buy that for.
72 Leigh Ann February 4, 2009 at 9:54 pm: Chilly Jilly for me, please!!!!
73 Laptop Television Mom February 5, 2009 at 12:25 am: Oh my – what a great selection! I love the Jennifer Ladd purse, Paper Shouts Valentines, the fudge and the wine. My husband would love the personal groomer since I made him grow a goatee last year!

- LTV Mom
74 Brittany February 5, 2009 at 2:48 am: I love the designs on Paper Shouts…and I love the look of the FreeAgent Go.
75 aimee February 5, 2009 at 8:48 am: I love that Chilly Jilly! The funny thing is I have a friend Jill who is always cold–this would be PERFECT for her!
76 Jen February 5, 2009 at 9:20 am: The Nicole Vasquez Bracelet, of course!
77 Mrs. H February 5, 2009 at 9:21 am: I would upgrade my “George.” This grill looks great. Mine is about 10 yrs old, lol. I like the removable, optional plates!
78 lindsay February 5, 2009 at 12:04 pm: I loooove the Skullcandy® INK’d® Earbud Headphones! I am not the feisty teenager I once was, but I go to the gym and travel a lot (for work and for play!), so I have those little buds plugged into my ears almost every day!

Skullcandy ear buds are the most comfortable I’ve found and I love them, but this cute design is to die for! I might have to go pick up a new pair! Thanks for sharing.
79 Lindsay February 5, 2009 at 12:08 pm: By the way, I just shared the contest link with my two twitter accounts (@lthomson, @eweddinginvite) and sent an email to my “The Greatest Women Alive!” list.

Should get the word out!
80 martha turpin February 5, 2009 at 12:14 pm: The Chilly Jilly for sure!! I live in the South and it always so cold in restaurants and movie theaters. Perfect size to keep in my purse.

81 Laura February 5, 2009 at 1:32 pm: The Chilly Jilly looks like something I’m going to have to find…and those brownies…oh my gosh, I think I may get those for the hubby…too bad he doesn’t like sweets! I’d never be one to waste food, so I’ll just have to eat them for him
82 Andreah February 5, 2009 at 3:42 pm: The car safety kit looks great. I am always scared of car trouble when I am driving alone.
83 T with Honey February 5, 2009 at 4:01 pm: Believe it or not but I have always wanted something like the car safety kit for our vehicles. I’d love to have that pink on in the trunk of my car. Although with the way the odds work I bet the one time it will be used is when Honey is driving it all by himself.
84 Heather H. February 5, 2009 at 9:36 pm: I like the wooden handle purses.
85 Denise February 6, 2009 at 12:36 am: The Donna Bracelet is great & can go with dressy or casual wear. The other Nicole Vazquez jewelry is also worth checking–everyone should have at least one.
86 Darcie - Such The Spot February 6, 2009 at 8:34 pm: At first I’m drawn to the wooden handled purse. That pattern screams fun to me.

But then again, the Barefoot Contessa cookie mix is tempting.

Honestly though we’ve been in the market for an external hard drive. Don’t know if you saw my post from a few weeks ago when my computer gave the blue screen of death before promptly dumping EVERYTHING…but needless to say this snazzy lil’ number would come in mighty handy about now.

Great gift guide btw. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…you cost me way too much $$$!
87 Stimey February 6, 2009 at 10:20 pm: The Chilly Jilly is really cool. I’m always cold and end up wearing a sweatshirt a lot. This is a far more fashionable way to stay warm.

I also love the Phillip Done book.
88 Amy @ Cheeky Cocoa Beans February 7, 2009 at 12:21 am: I love the Chilly Jilly. Compact and wrinkle free? How cool is that?!

Yes, I am verrrrrry sorry.

Thanks so much for this giveaway!
89 Jessica P February 7, 2009 at 1:39 am: My favorite item is the wooden handle purse- too cute!
90 Mel @ A Box of Chocolates February 7, 2009 at 5:33 pm: Definitely gonna get hubby some of the tough guy cream cause his hands are awful in the winter. We’ve tried just about everything, but not that so we’ll give a try. I think the cake serving utensils are adorable and of course the jewelry! I have 32 third graders and a class bunny since well, you know, I teach 3rd grade. It was hilarious and oh so true. I could relate on so many levels. Thanks for sharing so many awesome ideas and hosting a Valentines giveaway too. Please consider me in!!
91 Jennifer Ladd February 7, 2009 at 10:22 pm: Hmm…. I definitely like the wooden handle purses (but I guess I’m a bit biased!).

I also like the pink car emergency kit. Since I have become a mom, I am so much more paranoid about safety. And this kit makes safety cute! A great idea!
92 Sabrina February 9, 2009 at 12:43 pm: I love the dog sweater!!! It’s my favorite.
93 Susan Wolfe February 9, 2009 at 3:12 pm: Love the dog sweater – I have 2 boxers and a rat terrier, and boy would my little schnookums be cute in that!

Chilly Jilly!!!!!!!!!! Lovelovelovelovelove that!

109 AJ February 10, 2009 at 1:57 pm: I love the PhotoWorks photo book- I am totally going to get one! Thanks for the great post and contest!
110 Dina February 10, 2009 at 3:12 pm: I am in love with every item in your selection but on top of my list is the Tassimo Hot Beverage System by Bosch. They make the greatest appliances, and this coffee maker is a work of art! Also – it cleans itself after each brew?? And, its red accent would go perfectly with the red FreeAgent!
111 Molly Byrd February 10, 2009 at 3:22 pm: I would love the glam media case. . hope hubby gets it for me for V-day!
112 Melissa P February 10, 2009 at 3:36 pm: I’m actually excited about the Tough Guy Hand Salve. My husband’s hands & feet need A LOT of work!
113 Richelle F February 10, 2009 at 3:42 pm: Our parents love to get photo books of their grandkids. It is a great gift any time!
114 Kacey February 10, 2009 at 3:54 pm: Love the Chilly Jilly! What a cute idea.
115 Corina February 10, 2009 at 4:35 pm: Oh I see need the FreeAgent Go (in red please!lol)
You have quite a few wonderful ideas. I’m off to Children’s place to get my 2 youngest some cute new jammies for Valentine’s and I’m also going to go check out the Sweet Muse brownies. YUM and I adore anything in cute packaging!
Thank you for the ideas!
116 tina February 10, 2009 at 4:57 pm: I would love to have the George Foreman grill. i am recent widow, and kids are in their own homes. a nice simple way to cook…i’m thinking ! Thanks for your nice giveaways and informations.
117 Tina February 10, 2009 at 5:00 pm: I hope I get chosen for one of the hard drives. Would love. Thanks for a chance to win!!
118 Stephanie February 10, 2009 at 5:49 pm: I’m liking that Chilly Jilly. It looks perfect for dressy occasions when you just don’t want to “cover up” your pretty dress with a bulky jacket.
119 chrystal February 10, 2009 at 6:05 pm: SWEET, personalized roll-ups! Who knew!!!
120 chrystal February 10, 2009 at 6:06 pm: and I have officially twitted this
121 N S February 10, 2009 at 6:19 pm: personalized roll-ups! and the hand salve!
122 trisha February 10, 2009 at 7:42 pm: i am a big fan of giving cards for every reason and no reason. the LovePak cards look like a sassy option when i can’t make handmade. thanks for the tip!
123 trisha February 10, 2009 at 7:43 pm: i spread the word via a mass email to all my girls. (and a few fellas)
124 Michele P. February 10, 2009 at 9:48 pm: I would love to get my man the Remington PG 350 personal groomer, and those Lovepak cards would leave one heck of a hint for a great evening!

126 John Clark February 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm: I like the Gibson pewter earrings. Not for myself, but my wife loves getting new earrings, so these would garner me some big happy points on Valentine’s Day.
127 Julie From Inmates February 10, 2009 at 10:28 pm: Paper Shouts and Photo books look like really clever gifts. Oh, and the glam media case looks fabulous for a princess, so I’ll take that too. Thanks for all the wonderful give aways!!!!
128 Laura S. February 10, 2009 at 10:54 pm: Ok, the hard drive is really my absolute favorite on the list. And a hard drive in pink!! Be still my heart! Ok, I’m a little bit of a techie. But my other favorite is Paper Shouts-I haven’t heard of them before and the cards are really cute. I really like my computer, but I still like sending and opening real mail cards! I also like them to be different from the ones I see in every store.
129 Charlene February 11, 2009 at 2:38 pm: The earrings would be nice, but I think the Remington Groomer would be a nice gift for my husband. He is a “keeper”.
130 Tim February 11, 2009 at 6:18 pm: I like the Tassimo Hot Beverage System the best.
131 Jeane February 11, 2009 at 7:09 pm: I would love the red or pink harddrive. I need some help with backing up my data.
132 Betty February 11, 2009 at 10:39 pm: I would love the FreeAgent harddrive in red.
133 Melanie February 14, 2009 at 1:20 pm: I’d like the George foreman, the Chilly Jilly and the brownies. Great list Jo-Lynne!
134 Teresa February 14, 2009 at 3:15 pm: Heart-shaped brownies for me, please. Thanks.
