For The Lols

For The Lols

Hello! Johnny and I had a wonderful holiday celebration with his family on Christmas Eve. As per Miller Family tradition, we enjoyed a delicious meal, opened presents, and then had our annual viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. This has been the formula for the past five years and I would not change it for the world! We were treated to so many amazing gifts and an extremely funny one that I just had to share with all of you. This was mailed to us from one of Johnny’s aunts and I literally can’t even lol. Check it out:

Johnny’s Aunt Eileen is a true spitfire of a woman. She is (as you can see) hilarious, sassy AF, and a ball of energy that cannot be contained. When Johnny opened this gift box, I didn’t see the “surprise” inside – but whatever it was gave him a full fledged laugh attack. He tossed the box to me with the adoring words of “just for you” and I was greeted by a middle finger on a spring!! We were in stitches and all in agreement that this was so “classic Eileen”. 😀

That’s it. That’s the post lol but I couldn’t not show it off to the blogosphere. And, in conclusion, this small and silly gag gift was one of our favorites so take a note from Aunt Eileen’s book and never be afraid to have FUN with your gifts!

What is the funniest gag gift you ever received? Do you have a White Elephant tradition in your family? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Hello and a very happy almost Valentine’s Day to all of you!! You are each my Valentine! If you are currently in crunch time gift buying mode for your special someone: Fear not. We are about to go over some last minute gifts that your partner will love! Let’s get to it:

Couples Paint Night:

I have seen so many advertisements for paint and sip studios hosting couples paint nights and it looks like fun! This would be such a unique date night where you can both get in touch with your creative sides and walk away with your own masterpiece. Even if you aren’t the most artistic couple in the world, it’s never a bad idea to get out of your comfort zone and try something new!

Dessert Dash:

Who needs a romantic dinner when you can just go straight to dessert? Take your boo on a dessert crawl and enjoy the sweeter things in life together. You can hit up ice cream parlors, candy shops, and bakeries to indulge your sweet tooth and get your giggle on as you achieve the ultimate sugar high. 😀

Old Standbys:

Honestly, the standard gifts for Valentine’s Day are great. Who doesn’t love flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals, candles, and bath and body care?! I understand why people might view the old standbys as a cop out but rest assured that a gift basket filled with traditional V-Day goodies are always going to go over well.

This sentiment also remains true for classic date nights like dinner and a movie. In fact, that’s one of my favorite date nights! Dress to impress, take a night on the town, and have some fun. Take the time to do a search for well reviewed restaurants like “Best Indian Restaurant in London” (or your local area), make reservations, and pre-order tickets for the movie too. Then, all you need to do is enjoy your date!

Dress To Impress:

How about a shopping date before dinner? Take a detour to the mall and pick out a brand new outfit for each other to wear! After all, you have to look your best as you flaunt your couplehood to everyone. 😉 lol! As a fashionista, myself, this is a gift that I would love – going shopping with Johnny is my fave. ❤

Couples Photo Shoot:

Photography adventures are a blast! Create a playlist, take a drive, and scope out pretty locations for a couples photo shoot. Explore new places and capture the memories for a totally thoughtful date day experience. Then, you can pick out your favorite shots to get printed and hung up at chez vous.

One For The Books:

Is your sweetie a bookworm? Delight them with a bookstore date! Visit a local shop or Barnes and Noble and purchase some titles from their must read list. Afterwards, find a cozy coffee shop to post up in and get lost in a good book. Simple, sweet, and sure to please.

However you spend your Valentine’s Day with your special someone, have the best time. Enjoy each others company and stroll down memory lane as you remember all of the beautiful reasons you fell in love!

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? How are you spoiling your partner? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
