Valentine's Day Gift Guide- Precious Moments Figurine.

Valentine’s Day is almost here again – let those closest to you know how much you care with Precious Moments. Express your love to family and friends with an assortment of thoughtful gifts, ranging from functional tableware to heartwarming figurines.

My Thoughts:

 I've always adored everything Precious Moments since I was a little girl. My mom was a huge fan and every holiday season her and I would enjoy the new decorations and figures that would come out. This season for Valentine's Day, I was excited to surprise my parents with the Love Is Our Secret Ingredient figurine.

To say this figurine is gorgeous is an understatement. It's so beautifully crafted with bisque porcelain which has a nice weight to it. What I admired the most was the attention to detail. How the recipe paper had ingredients painted on it, the clothing is lifelike, the classic Precious Moments expressions and art style on the couple truly standout on this piece. The brunette and blonde hair colors reminded me of my mom and dad perfectly.

The reason I was so drawn to Love Is Our Secret Ingredient as a gift was because my parents love to get into the kitchen together. Growing up, I watched them bond over cooking meals, especially during the holiday season. Love was certainly their secret ingredient. I know this figurine will be perfect for any couples that also adore making memories in the kitchen. If you're looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift look no further than, Precious Moments!

Our Thoughts

The package arrived in one box, and when I opened it up the suitcase was packed in another smaller box and the papers were packaged in an envelope. It all looked like it came all fancy in the mail right to my kid, it was adorable! She really enjoyed opening it up, her first "special" package in the mail.

The suitcase is cardboard made but is well built and doesn't look cheap at all. The fastener on it works great, it doesn't pop open and spill all the contents out. There are a lot of items in this that makes it fun for my daughter to open up. There's a map, stickers, little postcards and more. Always something new for her to look at that keeps her excitedly digging through the box. 

As a homeschooling mom, I love gizmos and gadgets to go along with our learning. This is perfect for our history and social studies! A gift that keeps on giving with each package that arrives. Each one is colorful, creative and most importantly, educational. I've never seen my daughter more excited to learn about the world because it is done in such a creative process. Little Passports makes her feel special and she loves to tell her younger sister all the cool stuff she learns!

This is something homeschooling parents should look into or just to get as a great gift or supplementation to a child's schooling curriculum. Little Passports keeps learning fun!

Valentine's Day Gift Guide - Roobeez Disney Styles

About:

Robeez footwear mimics bare feet by flexing and bending with every step. Supporting not constricting growing feet, they promote good balance and unrestricted growth, while protecting little feet from the world. They stay on too, with elasticized ankles to ensure a perfectly snug fit.

Using high quality leather and materials, Robeez shoes are both comfortable and durable while their softer soles cushion feet and allow toes a better grip, helping balance, encouraging muscle growth and preventing slipping.

Our Thoughts:

My daughter is a Minnie Mouse enthusiast. At just a year and a half old, she will pick Minnie out in a crowd. These sweet shoes have her excited to wear shoes everywhere and all the time.

I love quality shoes at an affordable price and I believe that the makers really take into consideration quality and fashion and produce a product that parents and kids love! And that is a great priority to have in a company.

These fit so well! They aren't so tight they squeeze her ankles, and they're tight enough that they stay on while she kicks and plays. They're not heavy, so she's not constantly playing with them, or trying to get them off her feet. They're perfect, really.

These make the perfect gift for any baby or toddler! This Valentine's Day pick up a pair and fall in love!
