67 Valentine’s Day Ideas

Valentine’s Day is all about love and romance. Many couples scramble to find that perfect gift or romantic gesture that says, “I love you,” in the best way possible. Unfortunately, no matter how well couples no one another, choosing the right Valentine’s Day gift or gesture is often a struggle. Fortunately, the ideas below can take the guesswork out of the equation, which allows you to focus solely on the romance.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Her

Most men often feel that it is difficult to select the perfect gift for a woman, particularly one that is romantic, but with a little bit of help, it’s really not that hard. Many of us are extremely busy and don’t have time for hallmark holidays, which leaves us reaching for the traditional box of chocolates and roses for Valentine’s Day. Fortunately, the ideas below will help you step out of the realm of traditionalism to present her with an unforgettably romantic gift.

1. Let the Creative Juices Flow

If you are musically inclined, consider writing your special lady a song and be sure to dedicate it to her. Strum along on your guitar while you sing for an added effect. Not every girl likes gifts. Some feel love strongest through words, so even if you are not musically inclined, you can still put your creative juices to work by writing her a romantic poem.

2. Make a Video

Gather a selection of your favorite photos of her or the both of you together during your time together and create a memorable video. Make sure the video highlights what you find so special about her and about your relationship together. Back the slideshow with songs that remind you of each other to really top it off!

3. Make Her a Coupon Book

This might be a little cheesy, but its still very effective! Create a coupon book that offers to relieve her of a chore that she hates to do for a week. Consider also adding coupons for a backrub, candlelight bath, or a night out. She will love the thoughtfulness behind the gift and the fact that you appreciate her enough to give her a much needed break.

4. Recreate Memories

Show her how much you care by recreating some favorite memories. For instance, you could always try to recreate your first date together. Not only will she appreciate the effort, she will also appreciate that you remember such important details of your time together.

5. Flowers with a Twist

Roses are the common go-to flower for Valentine’s Day, so instead of roses, try getting her a flower that is more meaningful. If you are married, opt for a bouquet of flowers using the same selections she used in her bridal bouquet. If you are not married, opt for flowers that represent the month she was born or the month you started dating. If you want to try something that will last a little longer, consider this leather flower!

6. Create a Day of Unforgettable Surprises

If your lady love likes surprises, enlist the help of friends and family to create a memorable day full of surprises for her. For instance, if the two of you have children, you can enlist the help of a family member to watch the kids while you take her out and about for a day of romance and fun.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Him

It is often just as hard to find a romantic gift for your special guy. Considering that most Valentine’s Day gifts are geared toward women, it makes the trick of finding gifts for men that much more difficult. Fortunately, the ideas below can help anyone with romantic ideas that are perfect for him.

7. Customized Kits

Customized kits make great gifts because you can ensure that the selection suits your man perfectly. For instance, if he enjoys a clean shaven look, you can purchase him a customized shaving kit. If he enjoys fishing and being out in the wilderness, you can buy him a custom tackle or nature kit complete with essential gear. A kit instead of a gift basket might do just the trick!

8. Plan a Night Out

One guys night out guaranteed will make your man feel loved. This will require you working together with his friends, but sometimes guys enjoy having a guy’s night out. Talk to his friends and plan a night out for all of them. He will love that you appreciate his need for independence from time-to-time.

9. Take Him to an Event

If your man loves sports, surprise him with tickets to a sporting event featuring his favorite team. If he’s into music, purchase tickets to a concert featuring a band that he really loves. Surprising him with tickets to an event is something that the two of you can enjoy together. Rather than a physical gift, give the gift of an experience he will never forget!

10. Consider His Interests

Sometimes the things he enjoys most can help you come up with plenty of gift giving ideas. For instance, if he’s into retro, consider purchasing him retro gaming system or some vintage Converse shoes. If he’s into technology, consider purchasing some gadgets he has been wanting for a while. If he likes video games, get him a new game he’s been wanting or a nice controller!

11. Indulge His Comfort

Buying him a comfy pair of sweats and some house shoes or moccasins can go a long way. Encourage him to spend the day relaxing and lounging about while the two of you enjoy movies together. After working long and hard throughout the week, he would appreciate the much needed break. Consider bringing him some of his favorite snacks to really top the night off!

12. Plan a Romantic Night In

Guys may not be as hip on the idea of a romantic dinner and a movie idea, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan a romantic night in for Valentine’s Day. Purchase a bottle of wine or a 6-pack of his favorite beer, rent a video game that he’s been wanting to play and consider staying in and enjoying a drink or two while you guys play games together. He will appreciate your interest and effort. Nothing shows love quite like effort.

19. A Romantic Indoor Picnic

A picnic is always one of the most romantic settings you can create between you and a loved one. Unfortunately, February does not provide the right kind of temperature to host an outdoor picnic. Luckily, an indoor picnic can work just as well, and might even prove more romantic. Grab a bottle of wine, some fruit, assorted cheese, crackers, and spread a blanket out on your floor surrounded by candlelight. Snuggle up this valentines day.

20. Blind Bag Drawing

The idea behind this fun Valentine’s Day activity is for you and your significant other to write things down on scraps of paper such as different kisses. For instance, a passionate kiss or a kiss on the hand. You can even write down ideas like a slow dance or a bubble bath for two. Fold your scraps of paper and place them in a bag. The two of you can then take turns reaching blindly into the bag and fulfilling what is written on each scrap of paper.

21. Scavenger Hunt

Plan a day of activities such as at your favorite restaurant or to perhaps go skating in the park. Turn the activities into a scavenger hunt in which your significant other must follow clues to figure out where you are going and what it is you plan to do for the day. For example, you can say, “The place where we went on our first date” to guide your loved one to a restaurant or other venue. End the date at home with just the two of you.

22. Follow the Trail

Nothing is more romantic than leaving a trail of goodies that lead straight to a relaxing and romantic candlelight bubble bath. If your significant other must work on Valentine’s Day, try leaving a trail of flower petals or candies that lead straight to the already warm and waiting tub of water and bubbles complete with you in it if you wish. Trust me, trails make a girls heart soar!

23. Plan a Surprise Weekend

If you can, take some vacation time the weekend near Valentine’s Day or even on Valentine’s Day if it happens to fall on a weekend. Plan a weekend long vacation for just the two of you. There are plenty of affordable accommodations and package deals that can help you save money while allowing the two of you to enjoy a romantic getaway. Get an air bnb and spend some time, just the two of you.

24. Count the Ways of Love

How much do you love your significant other? It is time to count the ways. Leave post it notes marked with numbers highlighting all the reasons you love your special someone. Place the post it notes in different locations such as on their lunch inside the fridge or on the steering wheel of their vehicle. They will love finding all the different reminders throughout the day. Staying up late the night before to stick the notes around the house will make for a fun early morning surprise!

25. Save the Texts

Perhaps you and your significant other share cute texts throughout the day. Print out a screenshot of some of your favorite shared texts messages together and present the printout to him or her. It will remind your significant other that you care about and often think about the memories the two of you have managed to create together.

26. Try Something New and Exciting

Perhaps the two of you have talked about trying new and exciting things together but you have never had the chance. Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to do just that. Perhaps the two of you can go bungee jumping together or you can both learn to dance together by taking a tango or salsa dancing class. Another fun idea is to attend a wine tasting or cooking class together, especially if it is something you have never done before.

Valentine’s Dinner Ideas

Creating a Valentine’s Day dinner can seem like a bit of a hassle. If you already do the menu planning, how do you go about creating a meal that is romantic? Fortunately, there are plenty of romantic dinner ideas that can help you along the way. Keep in mind that an intimate meal for two doesn’t mean you must pull out all the stops and purchase the most expensive foods around.

27. Roasted Fish Dinner

Fish is rather simple to make and you can often find it for a great price. Roasted fish can create an elegant and romantic dinner setting, particularly if you add a bottle of wine and perhaps some other romantic touches, such as olives. It is said that both black and green olives serve as a natural aphrodisiac so they can definitely add to the romance of the situation.’

28. Chicken and Potatoes Dinner

Although chicken and potatoes may not sound very romantic, try sprucing it up with herb roasted chicken and potatoes for a dish that is savory and romantic. Eat your meal accompanied by candlelight, romantic music, and a glass of wine or champagne. The tender juiciness of the chicken will have you both feeling satisfied and since the meal is so simple to make, you’ll have plenty of time left for romance.

29. Grilled Steak Dinner

Nothing beats a juicy grilled steak on a romantic holiday like Valentine’s Day. You can even add to the romance by featuring green beans on the side and use the green beans to spell out “I love you,” on your significant other’s plate. Again, don’t forget the wine or champagne to go along with your deliciously cooked steak.

30. Lasagna Dinner

The Italians are often hailed as big fans of romance, so why not create an Italian lasagna dish that is as romantic as it is delicious. As an added challenge, use ingredients that create a dish that is just red and white to accentuate the Valentine’s Day feel. For instance, use red sauce and a white cheese like mozzarella or ricotta.

31. Spaghetti and Meatballs Dinner

Do not overestimate the romance behind a helping of spaghetti and meatballs. Although this dish is simple, you can highlight the romance of it by dining off the same plate and recreating a scene that is like something out of Lady and the Tramp. Don’t forget the romantic Italian music in the background or the candlelight setting.

32. Herbed Pork Tenderloin

Fortunately, pork tenderloin is not an expensive cut of meat, which means you can purchase it at a rather affordable price. It is also not hard to make so it will not eat up much of your time or stress you out in the kitchen. You can make the dish seem fancy and romantic by dressing it up with plenty of herbs and spices, too, like bay leaves, peppercorn, and cloves.

33. Lobster Bisque

Seafood offers incredible romance, so why not create something that is both romantic and simple to make, like a lobster bisque? Although lobster is a bit more on the pricey side, if you are just cooking for two, you can keep your costs rather low. The warmth of the bisque works perfectly against the chill of the February cold, too.

34. Pork Roast with Herbs and Fruit

Pork roast is again the highlight of romance, particularly when paired with herbs and fruit. Herbs add a savory delight to any pork dish whereas fruit adds a hint of romance, particularly if you add in fruits like grapes. If you add grapes into the mix, try feeding them to one another as you dine like gods and goddesses on your delectable Valentine’s Day cuisine.

Valentine’s Breakfast Ideas

Why not start your Valentine’s Day off right with a specially created breakfast that shows your significant other just how much you love him or her? Of course, breakfast in bed is always a great idea, but creating the perfect breakfast will require some thought and some help from the ideas listed below.

Nothing says romance like French toast stuffed with Nutella and strawberries topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. If you are going to serve up the ultimate Valentine’s Day breakfast feast in bed, it is best to go all out with a sweet and delicious breakfast like this one.

Bacon and eggs is simple enough so to make it more romantic, try creating heart shaped bacon and eggs.

You can make heart shaped eggs using a heart shaped ramekin purchased from your local store.

37. Heart Shaped Donuts

Make pancakes as you would by following the instructions. Use a circular cookie cutter to create bite sized pieces out of the pancakes.

39. Fruit Smoothies

Fruit smoothies can serve as an easy and perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast. Try using fruits that will create either a pink or red colored smoothie, like strawberries, for a Valentine’s Day feel. You and your significant other can sip on fresh fruit smoothies while relaxing in bed together as a way of starting your day off right.

40. Crepes

Crepes are a delicate breakfast that can show off the romanticism of Valentine’s Day if done right. For instance, try making red velvet crepes to give them a nice pink tint. Fill them with cream and top them with a delicious chocolate drizzle and a sprinkling of powdered sugar for a deliciously sweet start to your Valentine’s Day.

41. Fruit Tray

If you are not in the mood to go all out and cook on Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to. There are other ways to create a romantic breakfast without slaving over a stove. Create a fruit tray of epic proportions complete with marshmallow fluff, a fruit cream cheese spread, melted chocolate, and caramel.

42. Heart-Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a great go-to breakfast idea for any day of the week. Fortunately, you can kick it up a notch on Valentine’s Day by creating heart-shaped cinnamon rolls.

Drizzle the icing over your freshly baked cinnamon rolls and present them to your sweetheart complete with a glass of milk or freshly squeezed juice.

Valentines Day Ideas for Kids

Although Valentine’s Day is often touted as a day for couples, many children enjoy involvement on the holiday. Schools often host Valentine’s Day parties in which children exchange notes, cards, and snacks. Children also enjoy making crafts that they can give to their parents for the special day to show how much they love and care about them. The ideas below are the perfect way to present kids with Valentine’s Day ideas.

43. A V-Day Family Day

Sometimes it isn’t always possible to send the kids off to the babysitter or to a relative, even for a holiday like Valentine’s Day. That doesn’t mean that kids can’t somehow be involved in the day. Spend the day together as a family by cozying up on the couch together complete with hot chocolate, pillows, blankets, popcorn, and some movies like A Charlie Brown Valentine.

44. Decorate for the Day

Ask your kids to help you decorate the house using a Valentine’s Day theme. For instance, you can make banners out of colorful hearts using construction paper to hang around the house. They can also fill jars with red and white wrapped candies, like Hershey’s Kisses.

45. Holiday Cookies

Enlist the help of your children baking and decorating Valentine’s Day cookies. Bake heart-shaped sugar cookies and let your children go to town with sprinkles, icing and more. They will love spending time with you just as much as they will enjoy making sweet treats for such a special and loving day.

46. Homemade Cards

If your children have been asked to bring in Valentine’s to exchange with the whole class, you can always opt to go to the store and buy generic ones. However, it is much more fun to buy construction paper, glitter, scissors, glue, felt, and other craft materials to allow your kids to make their own. They can personalize the homemade cards to give out to their classmates so they will be unlike any others.

47. The “I Love You” Game

The game is easy and involves the entire family. Have everyone sit around the table and each person takes turns listing off the reasons why they love each person sitting at the table. This is a great way to involve kids in the Valentine’s Day spirit. It is also a great way for each person to understand how special they are and how much they mean to one another.

48. Valentine Treat Cards

Another option is to have kids create Valentine cards that combine the special sweetness of a treat. To do this, make sure you have enough small lollipops (like Dum Dums) and hand your children pink and red construction paper. Trace hearts on the construction paper. The key is to cut the hearts so they form a flower comprised of four hearts. Punch a small hole in the center of the flower and place the lollipop in the center. Have your children write a nice Valentine’s message on the heart-shaped leaves.

49. Valentine’s Printouts

If your kids enjoy coloring, find some Valentine’s Day print-out coloring pages for them. There are also plenty of other print-outs that they might enjoy such as printable Valentine’s cards, crafts, and more. Fortunately, printouts are relatively cheap as long as you already have a printer and ink. Otherwise, all you will need is coloring pencils, crayons, markers, and perhaps a few other craft materials.

50. Cupid’s Dinner

Have your kids help you create a Valentine’s Day themed dinner complete with a menu and all. Have them decorate the menu using a Valentine theme featuring a variety of aptly named meals and drinks. For example, you can purchase cherry flavored 7-up, which has a pink color to it. A fun name would be “Cupid’s Fizz” for the drink name on the menu.

Preschool Valentine’s Ideas

Preschool children also love to get involved with Valentine’s Day. Teachers and parents often face the pressure of coming up with different activities and Valentine’s themed ideas to keep smaller children entertained. Luckily, the list below can take the stress and guessing out of the day thanks to some helpful and age-appropriate ideas.

51. Love Bugs

Help your preschool-aged children create “love bugs” using egg cartons, paint, glitter, googly eyes, and other craft materials. Cut the carton so that each child has a section comprised of three egg holders. Have them paint their section before decorating it. The end result will be an adorable “love bug” for Valentine’s Day that you can keep and proudly display for all to see.

52. THUMBody Loves You Valentines

Cut out heart-shaped pieces of construction paper for your small children and hand them washable ink stamps. Have them dip their thumbs in the ink and then place their thumbprint on the heart-shaped pieces of paper. On the hearts, write “THUMBody loves you” as a cute and memorable homemade valentine.

53. Valentine’s Day Block Building

Take ordinary wooden blocks and wrap them in Valentine’s Day themed wrapping paper. Have your children use the Valentine’s Day block to build various items like a tower or even a small house. Make sure you join in on the fun. Your children will enjoy spending time with you as you create plenty of Valentine’s Day memories.

54. Valentine’s Match

Draw number or letters on heart shaped pieces of paper. Make sure you have two that are exactly alike. For example, if you use number, place the number 3 on two different hearts. Flip the pieces of paper upside down and have your children match up the cards. Not only is this a great Valentine’s themed games to play, it also helps small children who are learning their numbers and letters.

55. Beaded Heart-Shaped Bracelets

All that is required for this activity is beads and pipe cleaners. Fold each pipe cleaner into the shape of a V and have your children add different beads to the pipe cleaner. Once they are finished, shape the V into a heart and twist the ends together to create a beaded heart-shaped bracelet that they can wear for the holiday.

56. Sponge Art

Lay down a waterproof table cloth or a shower curtain and cut hearts into different Valentine’s Day shapes, like hearts. Place different colored paints in plastic tubs and help your child dip the sponges into the tubs. Have them stamp a large piece of paper and assist them in writing a special Valentine’s Day message on their work of art.

57. Valentine’s Day Suncatchers

Making suncatchers is a great way to brighten up a cold, February day on Valentine’s Day. You will need crayons, wax paper, a towel or an ironing board and an iron. Cut wax paper into the shape of heart and place bits of shaved crayon between them. Have your children select the colors they would like to use. Iron the piece of wax paper so the crayon between them melts and hang it in a window for a colorful sun catcher.

58. Valentine’s Day Coasters

Help your kids make a Valentine’s Day gift for you or someone else they love. You will need paint, ceramic tiles, and a sealant to do this. Hand your children a stack of ceramic tiles and have them paint them however they wish. Use Valentine’s Day colors if you wish such as pink, red, and white. Once they are finished, you will need to cover the tiles in sealant so a glass or cup placed on the tiles does not ruin them.

59. Valentine’s Pasta Necklace

Using dried macaroni noodles, preferably elbow macaroni, ziti noodles, or penne, have your child paint the noodles. Use red, pink, and white colored paints that match the Valentine’s Day theme. Once the macaroni noodles are painted and dried, place string through their openings and tie the ends together to create a fashionable macaroni necklace that you can wear proudly.

13 Funny Yankee Swap Gifts

Are you looking for a hilarious and annoying Yankee Swap gift?  You have come to the right place!  This guide will highlight some of the best “worst” Yankee Swap gifts available.  These funny yankee swap gifts are so ridiculous that they are guaranteed to simultaneously delight and annoy the recipient! Remember to toss the receipt! No take backsies!

What is a Yankee Swap?

A Yankee Gift Swap is a type of gift exchange where participants give funny, useless, or strange presents to each other.  It is a very fun way to give presents to your friends or loved ones and is guaranteed to generate plenty of laughs. Plus, sometimes you see something absolutely ridiculous in the store that might not have any other purpose beside to be a ridiculous gift. Yankee Swaps have become very popular in the last few years within the United States, so there are now thousands of items perfect for Yankee Swaps.

Many offices and friend groups have started doing Yankee Swaps at Christmas because it is much more fun than giving each other traditional Christmas presents.  Most Yankee Swap gifts are cheap, which makes having a Yankee Swap a great idea for extended families on a budget.

The traditional rules for a Yankee Swap gifts are as follows:

  • Each participant supplies one wrapped gift that is placed in a central location (under the Christmas tree for example)

  • Participants are randomly assigned a number, which indicates their gift-choosing order.  You can draw numbers from a hat.

  • The  person who picked number 1 goes first.  They choose a random present that is not their own and unwrap it.

  • On subsequent turns, participants have the option of unwrapping a gift or “stealing” a gift from another participant.  If a participant’s gift is stolen, they can unwrap another present or steal a gift from someone else.  Gifts can only be stolen three times.

  • The game is over when everyone has had one turn, or once all the presents have been opened!

Playful rivalries develop as participants steal the tackiest gifts from each other. Don’t be afraid of tweaking the rules if you have a better way of performing a Yankee Swap — it’s all about having fun!

What is a Yankee Swap Gift?

Certain types of items make great Yankee Swap gifts.  They usually have one or more of the following attributes:

They are very Tacky

Tacky items like decorative Christmas jumpers, t-shirts with unicorns, bright pink underwear, or lampshades shaped like body parts are all great choices.  If you would be embarrassed to use the item, it would make a great Yankee Swap gift!

They are bizarre

Items that are weird can also be great Yankee Swap gifts.  A can of unicorn meat, an automated pet petter, a lunchbox labeled “human organs” and so on.

They are gross

Anything that makes you cringe can work well as a Yankee Swap gift.  Consider fake poo in a box, chocolate covered bacon, a farting coin bank or a toilet bowl coffee mug.

They are risqué

Items that feature nudity or sexual themes can also be great presents for a Yankee Swap.  Consider a cooking apron with fake breasts, a perverted garden gnome doing a poo, or salt and pepper shakers that show two cute pigs fornicating!  Any item that is embarrassing to use makes a great choice — just remember to constantly ask the recipient where the gift is every time you visit their home!

They are useful while being unusual

Yankee Swap gifts don’t have to be useless!  You can find some weird items that are useful around the home.  If the recipient starts using the item regularly, they will generate laughs all through the year.  A karate lettuce chopper or novelty coffee cup can get plenty of use and might become one of their favorite items!

Pollyanna Gift Exchange Ideas

Hello and welcome to our Pollyanna gift exchange ideas list! Gift exchange games are certainly a popular pastime at many holiday gatherings. 

In a Pollyanna Gift Exchange, participants anonymously purchase a gift for a randomly-selected person in the group. The best gifts are inexpensive, personalized, and, of course, funny! From Grumpy Cat merchandise to eccentric tape dispensers, your perfect Pollyanna gift is sure to be found from this list. 

Read on for a whole list of gift options for your exchange!

History of the Pollyanna Gift Exchange

Games like Dirty Santa, White Elephant, Pollyanna and Secret Santa are fun, easy and affordable. These games are also a great way for large groups of people to participate in holiday or other gift giving traditions. Gift exchange games are great for office parties, club meet ups, and other larger holiday gatherings because participants only have to buy one gift.

The Pollyanna Gift Exchange is a regional variant of the White Elephant Gift Exchange that correspondingly follows largely the same idea. Popular in Southeastern Pennsylvania and South New Jersey, Pollyanna is named after the ever-cheerful children’s book character Pollyanna from the early 20th century. In common parlance, this name has since become synonymous with people who are incredibly optimistic. As you might expect, a Pollyanna Gift Exchange focuses on amusing gifts designed to make people cheerful and merry. This kind of vibe also makes it the perfect option for a holiday gift exchange game.

How to Play

The rules to this Secret Santa style gift exchange game are altogether quite simple. Some time before the event, every participant randomly chooses a name out of the pool of participants. No one shares what name they have drawn, instead keeping it hidden. Each person then purchases a fun and amusing gift for the person to whom they’ve been assigned. There is generally a dollar amount assigned before the event so everybody is on the same page as to how much they will be spending on their gift.

In general, you can put a minimum or maximum amount to keep things simple. The presents are then brought to the event and unwrapped by the recipients. Since the gift giver is kept anonymous, you can have a lot of fun choosing hilarious and unique gifts for the person you’ve been assigned. Finally, it doesn’t matter if you know your recipient well or not, because we’ll give you some tips on how to choose a good gift for anybody.

Choosing Gifts

Undeniably, gift selection can be a stressful experience, whether you know the person well and set high expectations or if you don’t know them well and are uncertain. But it needn’t be so difficult! Choosing the gift you’re going to give can be one of the most fun parts of a Pollyanna Gift Exchange. Think carefully about the person you’ve been assigned to buy a present for. Consider especially his or her sense of humor as well as what he or she likes and dislikes. Perhaps they are a part of an ongoing inside joke, which could indeed prove to be a good source of gift idea. Or maybe they have a zany sense of humor. By taking these personality traits into consideration, you’re sure to find a gift that the person will find humorous, as well as enjoy.

If you happen to be assigned someone you don’t know very well, ask those who know that person. You could also do a little research on social media to figure out what they like and how they express themselves. A thoughtful, fun gift is in reach for everyone, obviously or not, even if you have to do a little bit of research to find the perfect one.

If you’re stumped for Pollyanna gift ideas, here are some affordable gift ideas that are sure to get some laughs and to delight just about any personality type!

GRUMPY CAT PILLOW CASE

anfGreenqb Cute Grumpy Cat-Custom Pillowcase 20"x30" Two Sides Pillow Case
  • Size: 20 X 30 inches , Color: Multi-color,Made from quality Cotton linen fabric.
  • Natural eco-friendly materials,this is your most suitable choice.
  • This cushion cover could surely provide a warm,welcoming feeling to your daily life.

A hilarious choice for cat lovers or haters alike!

A Grumpy Cat pillow case is a great choice for the lover of all things memes and cats. This adorable (and grumpy) cat can, furthermore, literally greet your gift recipient day and night. The great thing about pillow cases as gifts is the recipient can obviously use them for their bed, but they can also use them for a throw pillow. A funny pillow case like the Grumpy Cat might be instead used to keep on the couch as a goofy and decorative pillow.

Either way, this is an especially inclusive and safe bet for a Pollyanna Gift Exchange present. Because even if your recipient turns out to not be a cat lover, who doesn’t like a grumpy cat?

Is there a Difference Between Yankee Swap vs White Elephant Gift Ideas?

Historically speaking, yes, there is, although in the modern world, Yankee swap gifts ideas and White Elephant gift ideas are quite the same thing. The Yankee swap gift concept goes back to the American Civil War, they say, when generals were swapping prisoners in a barter system that had nothing to do with human rights as we know them.

On the other hand, the idea of receiving a White Elephant is, by all means, and purposes, a burden. The king of Siam proved to his people back in the day that getting a white elephant was a punishment and not so much of a token of appreciation.

In conclusion, White Elephant gift ideas should be a bit ridiculous and useless in nature, while Yankee swap gift ideas, no matter how brutal, had some intrinsic value to them. Today, we do not make much of a difference between them and both are extremely fun gifting exchange ideas.

Housewarming Party Ideas

Now that you have a general idea of what gifts to buy for a housewarming gathering, it is time to consider exactly how to host one for a friend. Putting together a housewarming party can seem rather hectic if you have no idea where to start. However, if you manage to pull it off successfully, you can become a true lifesaver. The new homeowner will thank you for your efforts. Luckily for you, the housewarming party ideas listed below will help you pull everything together effortlessly.

25. Opt for a Theme

Themed parties are always a hit, even when it comes to a housewarming party. If the person who just acquired a new home is into animated films, you could always choose an Up style theme from the Disney movie, Up. For a centerpiece, choose a porcelain Victorian style house and attach balloons to it. Another option would be to select a theme that centers around the type of food you plan to serve.

For instance, if you are going to serve Mexican, hand everyone Mexican fiesta hats and decorate the home with festive Mexican décor and banners. Other housewarming party themes can center on movies or games. Select movies that guests will enjoy watching or games that everyone can enjoy playing. Make sure the theme is rated properly based on the age of the guests in attendance. If there are going to be kids around, make sure to keep everything PG.

26. Hand Out Party Favors

Party favors are a great way to say thank you to guests for showing up. Not only are you thanking them for attending the housewarming, you are also thanking them for their gift. When handing out party favors, you can keep it sweet and simple. If you are working with a limited budget, considering providing baked goods as a party favor.

Dollar Stores often have affordable favors you can give to guests as a favor, such as candles or lotions. As an added tip, make sure to attach a tag to the gifts featuring the new homeowner’s address. Everyone will want to make sure they have the new address on hand to update their contact list. If there will be a lot of people in attendance, it might not be possible to buy a favor for everyone.

For larger parties, host games and award the winner of the game a small favor or gift. Favors provide guests with keepsakes that remind them of the fun gathering. Although housewarming parties are all about providing the new homeowner a gift, it is special to provide your guests with something, too.

27. Provide a Playlist

Music is often a must for any party, including a housewarming party. Music playing in the background helps liven up those quiet moments. Make sure you do not play the music too loud. Guests shouldn’t have to shout over the tunes to talk to one another. Also, the last thing you want to do is upset any new neighbors by hosting a loud, boisterous party.

Ask guests for input as far as what music they would like to hear. Again, if there will be kids in attendance, make sure to keep things kid-friendly. Avoid playing any vulgar or otherwise inappropriate music. Classic rock is often a hit among middle-aged crowds whereas fun pop music is great for a younger crowd.

28. Consider Your Guest List

Although you are likely to invite people that the new homeowner knows, consider inviting new neighbors, too. The guest of honor, who is also the new homeowner, will appreciate the chance to meet new neighbors. Moving to a new area is often scary simply because it takes time to get to know new people. Meeting neighbors through a housewarming party is a great way to break the ice.

By following the tips listed above, it is entirely possible to throw a fabulous housewarming party that is sure to be a hit. Try combining each of the ideas listed to ensure that everyone has a good time, including the guest of honor. Make sure not to bring people who have fought before to the same place. You don’t want to start a riot and you want everyone to feel good.

Housewarming Party Foods Ideas

Perhaps the most important part of throwing a housewarming party is ensuring that everyone has plenty to eat. Without food, grumbling, hungry stomachs are sure to send guests out the door within a short amount of time. Of course, if you have never hosted a housewarming party before, or any party, it might be hard to create a menu. The menu ideas below can make your life much simpler. For more inspiration, check out our 70th birthday party ideas and even the 80th birthday party ideas. The theme is different, but you can check a few food items and design ideas too!

29. Finger Foods

You do not have to provide an elaborate three course meal for your guests. Unless you are hosting a small housewarming gathering, it is better to stick to something simple and affordable like finger foods. Little weenies cooked in a slower cooker with barbecue sauce and served on a tray with toothpicks is just one idea.

You can also serve crackers with cheese and meat, cheese spreads, fruit with fruit spreads, or loaded potato skins. Finger foods are almost always a hit because they are affordable, easy to make, and less of a mess than a full meal. Deviled eggs are another great finger food item that people often enjoy eating. Some other ideas include chips with dip and fried pickles with dip.

30. Sandwiches

Sandwiches are also easy and affordable. You can opt for either pre-made sandwiches or allow each person to select their own meats and cheese by featuring a meat and cheese tray. Make sure to have plenty of condiments on hand ranging from mayo to mustard and everything in between. Some places will provide condiments for you, such as onions, lettuce, and tomato.

Accommodate your sandwiches with sides like potato salad, macaroni salad, and chips. You will find that guests will easily enjoy each of these food items. Also, sandwiches are usually not messy and pretty easy to eat by both adults and children. As the host of a housewarming party, you are going to have little to no time to cook a gigantic meal. Therefore, ordering sandwich items from a local grocer or caterer is your best option.

31. Tacos

Tacos are both fun and easy to make. For instance, you can set up a taco bar in which each person will have the chance to create their own tacos. Set up the bar so it has salsa, sour cream, nacho cheese, nacho chips, jalapeno slices, diced up tomatoes, shredded lettuce, taco meat, soft shell tacos, and hard shell tacos.

Keep in mind that tacos are usually messy, which means there might be a lot of clean up involved. You can also create an American bar, which features tater tots wrapped in bacon, turkey pinwheels, ham and cheese sliders, and bacon cheeseburger meatballs. To make bacon cheeseburger meatballs, all you need is meatballs with a piece of cheese melted over each one. Stick the meatball on a skewer followed by crispy pieces of bacon, lettuce, and a cherry tomato.

32. Meal Options

If you know that the gathering for a housewarming party is going to be smaller, a full meal is not a horrible idea. For instance, if the gathering is just going to consist of select friends and family, you can opt to create an easy lunch of dinner meal to satisfy everybody’s hunger. Of course, that does not mean that you need to cook.

You can always order pizza and breadsticks accompanied by salad and soft drinks. If you would rather cook, opt for a meal that is easy to make and budget-friendly, like pasta. Spaghetti and meatballs are always a big hit and it won’t leave you stranded in the kitchen for hours on end. Serve the spaghetti with rolls or breadsticks on the side, a nice salad, and perhaps some wine to toast in celebration to the new homeowner.

33. Beverages

You should always make sure you provide beverages for your guests. It is standard to offer water, coffee, and tea, so those three are a must. It will be up to you if you to decide if you have the budget for anything additional, like soft drinks. If you opt to buy soft drinks, make sure you purchase both diet and non-diet soda to accommodate different dietary needs. If alcohol is allowed, it is better to ask everyone to bring their own since alcohol can be quite pricey when buying for a larger group.

Another beverage option is to create punch using a carbonated beverage and ice cream. You can find many different punch recipes online, all of which are easy to make. Ensure that you have enough to refill the punch bowl when necessary. You will find that thirsty guests can empty a punch bowl rather quickly. Provide plenty of cups to go around. Keep in mind that a guest may lose their cup so it is always best to have extras.

The tips above can help you create a menu that is sure to please everyone. However, you may have to take a few things into consideration when creating menu for a housewarming party. For example, you should collect information from your guests with regard to dietary needs.

What to Know Before Setting the Housewarming Party Menu

Find out if anyone in attendance is allergic to some foods such as dairy, shellfish, or nut products. You should also find out if anyone requires gluten-free foods or vegetarian and vegan options. Make sure to accommodate those guests properly. It is better to avoid cured meats if you have vegetarians and vegans present at the party. If your guests come with their children, make sure you have kid-friendly dishes available, together with a satisfactory assortment of cakes and other sweets. The examples could go on, but the main idea is to get everything for everyone so that nobody will be left out of the party.

On the other hand, if all of you like to cook and you want all to have some fun with food, you can start making the dishes each of you knows how to prepare the best. You can turn things into a cooking contest if you like.

Housewarming Game Ideas

What is a party without some little fun and games not thrown into the mix? Games are a great way to pass the time and get everyone involved in an engaging activity. Games are also a great way to ensure no one feels left out on the fun. Sometimes, if guests do not know one another, it can create a certain sense of awkwardness. Playing games allows all guests to open up and enjoy each the company of all in attendance. For instance, we recommend you consider some Get to Know You games to break the ice and make the guests laugh and feel more comfortable in the group. Speaking of groups and housewarming ideas for couples who just moved in their own home, you can always try the Newlywed Game Questions (with variations) to entertain a larger group.

34. Unscramble the House

This game is relatively easy and guests of any age can play it together. Select different items from around the house such as a window, curtain, or refrigerator. Scramble the letters of each word and print them out in a list. Have each guest unscramble the letter to see how many people can guess the words correctly. To add to the fun, have a timer on hand. Whoever unscrambles the most word before the timer runs out wins the game.

35. Neighborhood Trivia

If the new homeowner has moved to a new neighborhood, city, or state, you can create a trivia game around that. Look up different fun facts about the homeowner’s new location. Host a trivia tournament featuring the fun facts you learned about. To make things easier, you can present statements about the neighborhood and have everyone guess if the statements are true or false. It’s a fun way of getting to know the ins and outs of your neighborhood so you’ll get a chance to find out what’s considered OK and not so OK.

36. The Memory Game

For this game, select a room in the house. Have each guest enter that room and allow them to inspect the room for one minute. After that minute is up, ask guests to exit into another room. Ask your guests to write down as much as they can remember in terms of the details of the room. The person who writes down the most accurate details is the winner of the game. This game is also a great challenge for kids and teens. You can also play it at home, although you might want to modify the rules a bit since your kids probably know the house inside and out. However, you can entertain their friends in this manner in case you throw a small gathering for your children and their buddies. While not the most creative type of game, it’s certainly addictive and it keeps people entertained for a while. Plus that it can sometimes feel like a great brain stimulant.

37. The Price is Right

What better way to celebrate moving into a new home than by playing a game that has everything to do with household items? The Price is Right is a great game to play. Hand each person a list of items such as dish soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste, bleach, and other important household items. Ask guests to write down the price of each item. Whoever comes closest to the most accurate total wins the game. Sure, your friends who occupy themselves with eCommerce or compulsive shopping will have a much higher advantage than you. But, then again, you can always change up the items categories so that you’ll have an advantage if you’re good with guessing rare items’ prices.

38. Household Bingo

Create a BINGO card in which you list household items under each letter. Such as a blender, toaster oven, stand mixer or a mixing bowl under the letter B. Write each of the items down on strips of paper and fold them in half. Place the folded strips of paper in a hat and pick them at random. The first person to hit BINGO based on the items selected is the winner. Depending on how many people there are in the house and how much paper there’s available, the game can be as short or as long as the organizer wants it to be.

39. Spicy

Spicy is a fun game that allows guests to test their culinary knowledge. Make sure you have quite a few spices and plastic spoons available to play this game. Place a different spice in each spoon. Have guests look at and smell the spices, but no one is to taste them. After smelling and inspecting the spices, have guests guess which spice is which. The person who guesses the most spices correctly is the culinary genius. As a matter of fact, this is one of the best games to play with the kids in lockdown or to challenge your teens with on a lazy summer afternoon.

40. Good Old Fashioned Board Game

While unique party games are fun, sometimes nothing beats a good old fashioned board game. Considering that this is a housewarming party, a Monopoly game might be a great choice. The classic real estate game goes with the theme of the party. Guests can pair off into teams with one another so that everyone can get involved in some way or another.

Housewarming Ideas: Bottom Line

Everything mentioned above from the gift ideas to the actual housewarming party ideas is sure to create plenty of fun and excitement. Not only are you now armed with just the right gift to buy, but now you also know just how to host the perfect housewarming party.

10 Best Insulated Lunch Box Choices to Get for Your Kid Today

When I was a kid, my mom got me the best insulated lunch box.

I can’t even find the words to express how much I loved my “black princess on the shore” lunch box. To give you a fair idea, let’s just say I spent so much time gazing at her realistic face while wishing we were friends.

Looking back, I understand that my mom only wanted to keep my food warm, but what she doesn’t know is that she gave me a friend and an undying love for the beach.

So, when we got the chance to research the best insulated lunch box, I jumped on the opportunity to relive my childhood memories. Admit it — you’ve already got your lunchbox in mind. Don’t you? Well, lunch boxes have changed, and you need to know what to look for.

The Adult Quick Guide

Once you get the best insulated lunch box for your kid, you need to know how to use and maintain it properly.

We’re sure you’re already thinking, “It’s a bag that helps food to maintain its temperature, what else is there?” Well, so much else! Let’s discuss construction.

What are insulated lunch boxes made of?

The best insulated lunch box consists of multiple layers for optimum functionality. Typically, they have an outer layer made from versatile plastic like vinyl, or sturdy polymers like nylon or polyester.

The middle layer or base, if you will, comprises of a thick layer of insulating foam made from an array of materials.

They include polyethylene plastic, thermal fabrics, polyurethane, and other materials derived from polyester fibers. For a lunch box’s water-resistant features, materials like foil lines, plastic, aluminum, and vinyl, line the middle layer — on top of the insulating foam.

How can I keep my child’s lunch warm?

Many parents and guardians can attest to the fact that it’s easy to pack a cold lunch. That’s why it’s practical and convenient to opt for sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, and other non-perishable foods.

But if you’re interested in the moving toward the hot lunch route or switching it up now and then, consider using a lunch thermos or thermos lunch kit. To use, pack food while hot or put it in the thermos and microwave to make it hot. Fit it into an insulated lunch bag, and you’re good to go.

Make sure only to use foods that can be eaten warm, cold, or at room temperature.

What is the best way to handwash an insulated lunch box?

If your child’s insulated lunch box isn’t machine tolerable, you’d have no choice but to clean it manually. To handwash the best insulated lunch box:

  1. Make warm soapy water and submerge the lunch box in it.
  2. Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub down the interior and exterior of the lunch box.
  3. Rinse thoroughly under a faucet with clean water and pat down with a dry kitchen towel.
  4. Make sure it air dries completely before using again.

If you can’t submerge the lunch box in water, dampen the soft cloth or sponge and wipe down. This method is also ideal if it needs light cleaning to keep fresh.

Are they machine washable?

We wouldn’t go so far to say that all insulated lunch boxes are machine washable. That’s because while some come out looking great after a turn in the washer, others fall apart.

Typically, lunch boxes made from high-quality materials maintain their prime condition even after enduring the vigorousness of a machine.

To determine if the lunch box is machine washable, read the product description, or find the manufacturers label inside the product if there’s one. If the lunch box is inexpensive, you can throw it in the washer to see what happens. If you don’t want to risk it, stick to handwashing.

How do I keep my child’s lunch box from smelling?

The easiest way to deodorize the best insulated lunch box is to dampen a paper towel with white vinegar. Leave overnight and in the morning, wash the lunch box and air dry. Alternatively, you can sprinkle baking soda to neutralize the smell.

Additionally, you can remind your kids to discard wrappers and scraps of food after they’ve eaten.

Now that we’ve explored their usage and maintenance let’s jump right into the benefits of owning the best insulated lunch box.

It’s More than a Nifty Accessory

People love using insulated lunch boxes for many reasons. Here are a few of the advantages that come with investing in this personal accessory.

Temperature control

The fact is simple. If you use anything but an insulated lunch box, you’ll struggle with maintaining the temperature of your food. While some adults have the luxury of refrigerating their lunch and reheating it later with a microwave at work, most kids don’t.

The best insulated lunch box makes sure that your child’s food retains its temperature for most of the day until its ready to be consumed. You should note that room temperature food isn’t just unappetizing, but dangerous as well.

The FDA recommends that perishable foods left at room temperature for a minimum of two hours be thrown out.

Healthier lunch options

For lunch to be healthy, there’s a high possibility that it consists of fresh, perishable ingredients. And as we all know, fresh foods don’t last as long as canned and processed foods.

This explains why many parents can’t pack healthy meals for their kids as often as they’d like. With the best insulated lunch box, you now have the opportunity to pack healthy lunches without ever worrying if they’ll remain consumable by lunchtime.

Reusability

Aside from any environmental concerns, one of the perks of investing in an insulated lunch box is that you save a lot of money due to its reusable nature. Although brown paper bags and disposable plastic bags may seem inexpensive, you’ll rack up some severe costs in the long term.

If you have the option to choose between a disposable bag and an insulated lunch box, it’s advisable to opt for the reusable product.

Durability and portability

High-quality insulated bags have sturdy construction to protect the contents placed inside. Due to their insulation and strategically lined foams, they do a better job of keeping food intact than other lunch bags.

Additionally, they have high-quality zips and stitching to withstand frequent usage and cleaning. A cool feature is that they are portable enough to carry alongside other stuff and lightweight enough to fit into larger bags and backpacks.

Before you think about shopping, we want to show you the importance of reading labels and product descriptions.

Toxic Chemicals Found in Some Lunch Boxes

A few manufacturers use chemicals that experts say are dangerous to your kids’ health. If a lunch box contains the following compounds, don’t buy it.

BPA

BPA (bisphenol A.) combines with other chemicals to create durable plastics. It’s derived from epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics; the latter is primarily found in plastic containers, feminine hygiene products, water bottles, and more.

Exposure to BPA may cause various health issues, and as such, the EU and countries like China, Canada, and Malaysia tightly regulate its usage.

The FDA, however, asserts that it’s safe to use at the low levels the United States currently allows.

We believe, however, it’s best to avoid lunch boxes that contain BPA since some manufacturers fail to state the exact quantity in their products. Better safe than sorry when it comes to your child’s health.

Phthalates

These are a family of chemicals that make plastic soft and malleable. Unfortunately, researchers discovered that exposure could lead to asthma, ADHD, breast cancer, type II diabetes, and more.

Phthalates types BBP, DBP, and DEHP, have been banned from toys and lunch boxes permanently due to skin irritation and other health issues in kids.

PVC/LEAD

Other toxic chemicals to be mindful of are PVC and lead. PVC can cause cancer and liver problems in kids. When shopping, avoid products with “PVC” and “#3” labels.

Additionally, researchers explain that lead can travel out of the products into your child’s mouth to cause serious problems.

Lead is a heavy metal. And it can travel to the brain, kidney, bones, and liver. Young kids are more susceptible to lead poisoning, so it’s vital to avoid it altogether. Now, let’s show you how we selected products that are free of toxic substances and heavy metals.

How We Round up Our Picks

We wanted to bring you the absolute best, selected insulated lunch boxes that are highly functional and accessible. So, we combed through several customer and expert reviews to choose those that are food-safe, reusable, and durable.

We also made sure that our picks are lightweight on their own to prevent body aches when packed with food and carried for a period.

You should note that our lunch boxes are free of toxic chemicals and dangerous materials. So, without much ado, let’s discuss the best insulated lunch boxes.

10 Best Insulated Lunch Box for Your Kid’s Meals

If you’re looking for the best insulated lunch box, we’ve got the right picks just for you. Our selection will keep your mind at ease when you’re packing your kid’s lunch or even lunch for yourself.

Even though these products do a fantastic job of retaining temperature, they differ significantly due to their specialized features and design.

1. OPUX Premium Insulated Lunch Box

We love OPUX for many reasons, but primarily for making lunch boxes that people of all ages can use. This particular model isn’t just perfect for packing your kid’s lunch; it’s also the ideal companion for work and other outdoor activities.

OPUX Premium Insulated Lunch Box is leakproof, lightweight, and can hold six cans of Coca-Cola.

It also has reinforced zippers for durability, adjustable hand strap for convenience, and outer pockets for additional space. The manufacturers get extra points for using high-quality 600D polyester and nylon materials to construct this beauty.

The inner layer is PVC and BPA free and consists of high-grade thermal lining that can keep food at an optimal temperature for hours.

2. Wildkin Lunch Box

Wildkin is notable for its bold and creative take on backpacks, duffel bags, sleeping bags, and other accessories. A peculiarity about their products is that their design team play with bold patterns and themes that appeal to kids and teenagers.
