Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And an especially happy one to our randomly selected, lucky winner who goes by the name of… Oona (who will likely celebrate tonight with dinner at “a lovely vegan restaurant”). Congrats Oona!
We love celebrating Valentine’s Day with you guys by giving away some free jewelry, and this year Sherry’s especially stoked because the prize is coming from none other than Kendra Scott – one of her favorite places to request that I buy her earrings for various occasions (like the past two Christmases). Kendra Scott has definitely earned me a few husband points, so this (are you ready for it?) $500 gift card means that someone else out there can score major points from the one they love – or one lucky winner can grab her own jewels for herself. And probably have money leftover to share the wealth with a few friends or relatives. Oh and if you fancy yourself a Kendra Scott in the making, you can even use their Color Bar to customize several of their pieces. So yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

JEWEL ME!!
Keepin’ it simple. Watching White Collar and eating the husband’s delicious home-cooked food. :)
Carly says
JEWEL ME!
My husband and I are celebrating by going to my “big” ultrasound (though we’re not finding out the sex of the baby)- so excited to see the peanut on the screen again!
Catherine says
JEWEL ME!
I’ll be celebrating with my best friend, looking at art for an upcoming fundraiser. We’ll rank our favorite pieces and then on Sunday, cross our fingers that we’re able to walk away with one of our favorites. Thursday just happened to be the day that worked for both of our schedules, but I’m totally cool with spending Valentine’s Day with such a great friend!
Holly says
Jewel ME…I am going to have a nice homemade dinner with my hubby and the kids will go to bed early. I also tucked away three heart shaped tubs of peppermint patties for my three kids.
Elizabeth says
JEWEL ME!! Date night overlooking St. Paul’s in London :)
Emily says
Jewel Me!!
No celebration this year, I’ll be in class.
Rachael says
Jewel Me! My husband and I are going to the Cincinnati Beer Fest (romantic, eh?) but I’m more excited about the little gift we got for our daughter – her very first set of character sheets for her big girl bed! I’m making her bed Thursday morning before I leave for work: Rapunzel sheets and pillow with a lovely pink and purple quilt my mom made ages ago that’s been sitting in my closet. I can’t wait for her to see it!
Adam says
JEWEL Me!! Out with the wife, hopefully surprising her with this!
Katie says
JEWEL ME!!
This is my first Valentines Days that my husband and I have been married and we are going to dinner (on Wednesday) to a SDpanish resturant for dinner!
Megha Girish says
JEWEL ME!
I’m a singer, so this V-day I’ll be crooning away romantic songs at a local joint all evening!
Fran says
JEWEL ME! I live in Australia and we don’t really celebrate valentines day (shops try and instigate it to sell stuff but its not a big thing). Still, a nice pair of earrings wouldn’t go astray!
Amy says
Jewel Me! Baking heart shaped cookies to share at work, little notes for my teenagers and husband. Hopefully I will also be doing some on-line shopping for my new jewelry! Happy Valentines Day to you all!
Amelia says
JEWEL ME! We aren’t big on V-day in our house since my B-day falls so soon after. Better to wait a few weeks and watch the prices drop on everything!
Todd says
Jewel me!
Spa day!
Megan j says
Jewel me!
We will be showering our new baby girl with kisses!!
Emma says
JEWEL ME!
During the four years my boyfriend and I have been dating, we have only managed to be in the same country once. This year is no exception to the rule, with him in Germany and me in Sweden. So my big plan is for a long, lovely Skype call…
Teresa says
JEWEL ME!
Nothing different around here…other than sending Valentines to school with the kids!
Gigi says
Jewel me!
Laura says
JEWEL ME! I traditionally make heart shaped food for dinner – quesidillas with pink sour cream, heart shaped tofu, etc. My girls have been working on foam valentine kits to bring into daycare for the class. And when I say “my girls have been working” I mean I have been working because I totally misjudged the complexity of the kit!
Anna says
JEWEL ME!
We both have to work all week (and in different cities) so we celebrated Valentines Day a little early this year. Nothing fancy, just dinner and a movie. We always gift each other a little something, but my gift’s still wrapped as I’m not allowed to open it until Thursday.
Lindsey says
“JEWEL ME!”
I’m not big on V Day but I’ll be taking part in a flash mob dance at our local mall to bring awareness to violence against women and then my husband and I are off to a comedy show!
Jillian Anderson says
JEWEL ME!
I’m leaving today for a field course to follow birds around in the snow, so I will spend Valentine’s day getting up at 3am and packing bird seed in my backpack!
Callie says
JEWEL ME!
Family is flying into town that night – so my boyfriend and I are double-dating with my Dad and step-mom!
Lowry says
Jewel me!

Rita says
Jewel Me!
Dinner with my hubby…homemade & romantic….after 40 years of marriage it never gets old!! We love Valentine’s Day!!
Kat castaldi says
Jewel me!
This VD will be a mix of the usual and the special. I have to work, my husband is out of town (yep, no romance for me) but my kids, along with my daughter’s boyfriend, and I will share a nice meal and create some kind of yummy special dessert.
Jessica says
Jewel me!!! We will be clelbrating with a night out at a concert. :)
Mary Windt says
JEWEL ME!! This year we plan to spend valentine’s day home with our new baby girl! It actually sounds dreamy, but momma could use a new sparkle or two to go along with my new addiction to yoga pants…xox!
Amy G says
JEWEL ME! No big plans, just a nice family dinner with the kiddos…
Ami says
Jewel me!
Valentines is going to be super low key this year bc I’m super miserable 12 weeks pregnant and not up for anything exciting so I will send the kiddo to school with valentines and do some chocolate for the hubby and I and call that good.
Lisa says
JEWEL ME!
My husband and I try not Tobit things for each other although we sometimes do cards. There are tooooo many holidays requiring purchasing in mainstream America’s advertising culture. I will probably make him some peanut butter cookies because he loves them (and try not to eat half of them). He will probably give me a sweet card with a sweet note reflecting on who we are as a couple now (married almost 5 years with 1 toddler and twins on the way!) now that I think about it – I’m going to write him a love letter! Thanks for the contest. I just got inspired!
Liz says
Jewel Me! We’re doing a family date: my hubbie treats all three of his ladies, and of course doesn’t leave out the little man in his life either. And we’ve been in Valentine making production over here for a week for schoolmates! We’re looking forward to spreading a little love.
Emily says
JEWEL ME!!!! I have a major lack of snazzy things to wear out.
I haven’t done anything special for Valentine’s Day in 14 years, the very first year we were dating my husband got me a box of twinkies :-/ Mr. Romantic. This year I’m helping my daughter make home made valentines for preschool.
Anne with an e says
JEWEL ME! I have a Valentine’s lunch day with friends, but my husband and I already did our celebrating a couple of weeks ago for our 7th anniversary (beat the crowds to a fancy dinner… score!)
Kathy says
JEWEL ME! Mike and I are going out to dinner but we’re hoping we’ll be at the hospital with our daughter visiting our new grandson. He’s due any day!! You can call me “KK!”
Lisa says
Argh! *to buy*
Oops sorry!
Elizabeth Johnson says
Jewel me! Hopefully a romantic dinner out with the hubs if we can get relatives to watch our baby :)
Sarah says
Jewel me!!!!
I’m sending this Valentines Day with my puppy. My husband is on work travel to San Diego and will miss this valentines day and the 3 day weekend. My mom and sister will be coming to PA to visit though and I am so excited!
Juju says
JEWEL ME!!!!! We are celebrating a day early to avoid all the crowd in the restaurants. ok, truth be told, it’s because we started planning late . but i’m starting to like this idea of celebrating a day early and making something at home on the actual valentine’s day :) happy v day guys!
Sophie says
JEWEL ME!
Don’t do valentine’s day! I think it’s just another florist and card shop scam!
Rebecca says
JEWEL ME!
The sale on our house will be final on Valentine’s Day so we’re going out to eat. Keeping it very low key though.
Kristin says
JEWEL ME!

Meaghan says
Jewel me!!!
Planning on getting the kids involved this year by making a card for daddy and baking something yummy. And hoping to surprise them throughout the day with little treats like heart shaped eggs for breakfast.
Lesli says
JEWEL ME!!! I actually made some awesome Valentines I saw on Pinterest for my boys to take to school. They look fantastic! Then the grown up celebration of a few beers and a movie at home. Woo hoo!
Christine says
Jewel Me!!!
My husband and I do not go all out for Valentines’s Day but one thing we do enjoy doing on this holiday is playing Chocolate Truffle Roulette! We go to Godiva together and pick out a small box of Godiva truffles not knowing which flavors are in the box. We each take turns picking a truffle and tasting them. We have fun and get a good laugh at the weird faces we make when we pick a horrible tasting one. Or we get jealous when the other person picks one that that the other person wanted!
Ashley says
Jewel Me!
Isn’t everyday Valentine’s Day?! ;)
Holly says
JEWEL ME! Hubby and I are celebrating on Wed, to avoid the crowds (boy I feel old!). Then on V Day itself it’s all about my 6 year old identical twin girls!
Melanie says
Jewel Me! My Valentine’s Day will be spent with the loves of my life… my children. :)
