Sometimes the best gift is just a night out on the town! Putting work stress, home duties, and daily chores on hold for a night can often be exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s also really hard to do. Whether you’re thinking of your friend with 3 busy kids, your sister who works 10 hour days, or a pal that just needs a little break from the rollercoaster of life, everyone needs a night out!

We have teamed up with Uber to put together the perfect gift for a night out. Start with a cute clutch. Nothing too fancy, just a fun accessory to brighten up an outfit. Then fill it with an Uber gift card to eliminate any stress of driving, traffic, or parking. Send her to the mall, the movies, the salon, wherever her heart desires! Sunglasses are a purse essential. We created printable Valentine Sunglasses with a fun message! Slip one into the clutch with a sweet handwritten note on the back. Finish the clutch with a new lipstick, her favorite treats and she’s good to go! An easy and fun gift that’s customizable for anyone! Because who doesn’t want to be chauffeured around for a night out? Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is the perfect reminder to show some love to those you care about. Of course, we should always express our gratitude and care for those around us, but a special occasion is a welcome reminder! For those dear ones that live in a neighboring state, on opposite coasts, or even across the world, it can be a bit tricky to express your appreciation. But we’re creatures of habit here at Lars and sometimes nothing beats a fresh bouquet of flowers. Paired with a personalized note, it’s hard to get more thoughtful!

For your Far Away Valentine

After living in Denmark for a while, I have a lot of good friends that live in Europe that I try to stay in touch with as best I can. But there’s always room for improvement! This Valentine’s Day I’ve decided to send my friends in all across the world bouquets of flowers. I’m also sending a little card reminding them how much they mean to me. A little carrier pigeon “sending love from far away”! FTD makes it easy to send flowers around the world at the drop of a hat, and right now they’re giving 20% off all Valentine’s Bouquets!

Everyone knows I’m a huge proponent of a red lip. Maybe you’re having a bad hair day, maybe you’ve worn the same outfit three days in a row, but throw on a red lip, and NO one knows! Instant glamour. I highly recommend everyone investing in a signature red lipstick. Confession: I still have the red lipstick I wore for my engagement photos…8 years ago. Yikes! Now is the perfect time to invest because nothing says Valentines Day like a showstopper red lip! So in honor of our deep adoration of a bold lip we’ve created Paper Lipstick Valentines! These luxurious tubes are filled with sweet candies and made from a toilet paper roll! Talk about trash to treasure, right? So even if you’re not quite ready to flaunt the red lip, these Lipstick Valentines are the perfect shade for everyone!
