For the Friends you Love.

The-Steele-Maiden-Cheap-Monday-Series-For-the-Friends-You-Love-Post

Today kicks off a 3 part Cheap Monday series featuring gifts for Valentine’s Day.  First up, inexpensive ways to celebrate the friends you love…  

People seem so quick to dislike this holiday for it’s great expectations or because they think it’s designed against those who are single.  But some of my favorite Valentine’s days were spent with girlfriends, getting manicures and eating cupcakes.  So why not embrace the chance to show everyone in your life just how much you love them?  

Nest:  Pick your poison and head over to your best friend’s house armed with these adorable plastic tumblers (available at Target in a convenient set of 4) and pretty paper straws.  So much safer than braving a bar on Valentine’s Day, and at $13.99 total there’s really no excuse not to show the love.  

Dressed: At $10 each, these sweet little rose gold earrings from Lulu’s would be just the thing to place inside a card you mail to your long distance friends, give to your sisters, or place on your favorite co-workers keyboard come Valentine’s Day morning.  They’re simple, pretty much universally likable, and go a long way in proving that it’s the thought that counts.  

The Rest: Nothing says Je t’adore like a guide to Parisian Chic.  Conveniently festive in red and gold, this pretty book is perfect for gifting a close friend on Valentine’s Day.  Especially since it’s not over the top love themed, making it enjoyable all year long.  You know, kinda like your friendship.
