Give Your Valentine the Sun, the Moon and the Stars!

We all want our Valentine’s Day gifts to show how much we care. But there are times when flowers and candy, while appreciated, may show a certain lack of imagination. This year we’re thinking of giving our Valentines the sun, the moon and the stars. Wondering how we’re going to pull that off? Read on!

The Sun

The song is an old one but its message remains spot-on after all these many years – “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…”  Let your valentine know how you feel with a Life Is Good Women’s My Sunshine tee. It’s a classic v-neck, 100% cotton shirt that’s super soft and extra comfortable.  

Another sunny gift is the Woodstock Moonlight Solar Chimes. These chimes make beautiful music any time of day or night with the help of a breeze. But during the day they’re also busy gathering energy from the sun to bring a gentle glow to the yard or porch at night.

The Moon

While the Woodstock chimes could be a gift of the sun or the moon, we have a few purely lunar suggestions as well. Give your valentine the gift of a goodnight’s sleep with the Therm-A-Rest Compressible Pillow with a moon phase cover. Used for travel, camping or backpacking, they’ll get the rest they need when far from home.

Chronicle Books partnered with NASA to create Moon Playing Cards. Using stunning archival photos, the cards feature the phases of the moon and moon vehicles. They’re packed in a custom tin case, ready for a card game anytime.

The Stars

Bring the stars indoors with the Streamline Starry Sky LED Room Light. Stars are cast on the walls and ceiling creating a star cloud in the room. Kids love it too as a nightlight that adds magic to bedtime.

Give the gift of a glorious view of the Small Magellanic Cloud with the Peter Pauper Press Nebula Journal. If your valentine keeps a commonplace book or a journal, the high quality paper and a proper binding that lies flat will make it a joy to use. 

Hearts

A beautiful folk embroidery heart is the focus of the Life is Good Heart Chill Cap for women. Bright red and brazen pink can sometimes be too much for a wardrobe to accommodate. But this classic cap will harmonize and express your feelings!

The CamelBak Kids Eddy+ 12oz Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle has hearts, stars and rainbows! Kids will appreciate the insulation on hot summer days when their drink remains cold and refreshing! And you’ll appreciate that it’s leak and spill-proof.

Rainbows

If your valentine has a sunny window, they can have rainbows with the Kikkerland Solar Power Standing RainbowMaker + Swarovski Crystal. The solar powered gears slowly turn the crystal sending rainbows sailing around the room.

And now for something completely different: the MukikiM Rock And Roll It - Rainbow Piano. It’s a portable, flexible rainbow-colored electronic keyboard for kids six and up with 49 keys and a surprising range of features.

Pets

We don’t forget our beloved pets on Valentine’s Day, and we bet they’re on your list as well. For your feline companion, we suggest the Cats on Catnip Kit. Cats really do love catnip, and you can grow your own much to their delight. 

You love YETI so share the love with your pup! The YETI Boomer 4 Dog Bowl is tough, stays where you put it on the floor, and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. No matter what your dog does to their dinner bowl, this one will last!

These are just a few of our ideas for Valentine’s gifts. Want more suggestions? Check out our Valentine’s Collection!
