Valentine For The Kids Without The Sugar – I See Me

I like to get my kids a little something for Valentine’s day. I’m not a fan of getting them a lot of sugar. I usually do end up getting them the little chocolate heart boxes that have like 5 pieces of candy in them. But they eat the candy and it’s done. Now what if you give your child a gift that would remind them how much their loved whenever they feel like and maybe even encourage them to read.

ISeeMe.com offers personalized products like growth charts, stickers, coloring books, and more. For Valentine’s day you can get them the personalized book “Who Loves Me!” Valentine Sticker Edition.

I got this book to review for my son. First of all, he loves getting little surprises in the mail. I’ll be honest, he wasn’t super excited when he saw a pink book at first but, when I started reading he had a huge smile and was waiting to see what else the book would say. His name, all his family that was close to him was mentioned in the book and he loved it.

The illustrations are beautiful. It can be customized with a picture of your child and a dedication you choose in the front of the book. In the closing, you can put your child’s name and birth date.

I read my son the book when we first got it in the mail. When I asked him what bed time story he wanted a few days ago. He picked this one. You can still see the smile on his face when I read it.

You can find Who Loves Me! Valentine Sticker Edition book on ISeeMe.com along with lots of other fun and personalized Valentine gifts that would make a good replacement for candy or other Valentine trinkets.

Deadline for Valentine delivery is February 2, 2016.

Valentine’s Day hair how-to’s by Celeb Stylist Patrick Melville

Celebrity hair stylist in partnership with AVEENO has offered some ideas for easy and romantic hair styles for your Valentine’s Day.

Half Up:

1) Tease the hair on the root to create a little volume (not too much just enough to add a little boost)

2) Use the AVEENO® Pure Renewal™ Dry Shampoo to add hold

3) Flip hair upside down spray a little more dry shampoo to add texture to the hair

4) Flip the hair back, breaking up the strands with your fingers

5) Grab the hair from the ears and secure at the crown with a bobby pin

5) Once secured you will have height on top and break up with your fingers

High Bun:

1) Pull hair away from the face and put into a very high ponytail

2) Take a tail comb and tease the sections of the ponytail

3) Smooth over the top of the hair with a brush and twist into a top bun

4) Pin in with bobby pins to secure

5) Break up the hair with your fingers so it isn’t a “perfect look” (this look is great with a high collar top…a nice combo of loose and sleek)

These sound really easy to do. I think even I could do it and I’m terrible at doing my own hair. To help you achieve the look AVEENO is offering a giveaway for 1 LuvSavingMoney readers.

All My Rosy Love Bouquet from SendFlowers.com

Flowers are a traditional Valentine’s Day gift idea. I think sending someone flowers can make a number of different statements. Certain flowers can mean certain things. Arrangements can be made with favorite colors or holidays in mind.

I remember a time my hubby sent me flowers. It was our 6 month wedding anniversary. Yea 6 months and he actually thought enough of that to send me flowers. I was impressed with just that aspect alone. BUT he arranged to have them sent to my work place while I was at work AND he sent the sweetest handwritten card to go with it.

I remember how the ladies at the office all came to see who they were from and why. Admiring the flowers and taking turns reading the card my husband had wrote. It’s stuff like that that can really make a woman feel special.

SendFlowers.com has lots of arrangements to choose from. With Valentine’s Day coming up this week you could choose a Valentine themed arrangement like the All My Rosy Love Bouquet that will be arranged by a local florist and delivered to a special person in your life.

It looks like a bright and cheery bouquet doesn’t it? The reds and shades of purple in the simple glass vase would make a nice gift for anyone. You see the professional pictures on the websites and wonder if it really looks like that when your recipient receives them. I was sent the All My Rosy Love Bouquet from SendFlowers.com and here’s what it looked like from my own digital camera.

Her’e two different views. The arrangements includes red roses, purple alstroemeria, and purple monte casino. Mine were delivered from a local floral shop near me called “Forget Me Not Floral and Gift Shoppe”. I thought it was a pretty bouquet that I would certainly be happy with if my husband were to send it to me.

Speaking of sending flowers, if you want to send Valentine’s Flowers to your special someone, I have a coupon code for you to use. Use coupon code “10save” so save $10 on your order from SendFlowers.com. Don’t forget, Valentine’s Day is THIS COMING WEEK Thursday February 14, 2013. Don’t wait until the last minute, get your orders in and make sure your special someone knows you put some though into your gift.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
