Valentine's Day Favorites

I like to decorate with a few Valentine’s garlands to hang up in the house, have conversation hearts in a bowl, use heart paper plates and napkins, and do some Valentine’s crafts! Here are some of my favorite Valentine's Day finds for 2022.

Foam Picture Frames - Such a fun craft for John and I to do! 

Scratch Off Hearts - All the boys love these! They are so fun and perfect to give as a fun Valentine! 

Resin Heart Mold - Such a fun craft! Great for making necklaces, key chains, etc! Here is the link for the resin making supplies!

Heart Socks - I love getting festive with every holiday, especially Valentine's Day! 

Heart Waffle Maker - if you follow me on Instagram, you've seen me share this! I love pulling it out all the time, but especially around Valentine's Day! This heart waffle maker just makes breakfast so much more fun!

Valentine's Day Plates - Such a fun way to add color to the table. Just grab these heart plates for a special breakfast, dessert or dinner!

XO Garland - I love adding garland to our home every chance I get! This XO Garland is the perfect addition! 

I hope you'll add red and pink hearts to your home for this loving season!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

We’ve been talking a lot about Mother’s Day gifts! Today we’re sharing my favorite Mother’s Day gifts to give! 

I recently saw these Tea Drops and LOVED them! They are individually wrapped and perfect to add to a cute gift! Just open the bag and drop in the hot water. If you aren’t sure what flavor of tea they like, Tea Drops are perfect because you can just give them one of each! 

Have you ever seen a Tea Mug? These are NEW this season and we love them for the avid tea drinker! The side of the mug has a cute little tea bag holder. Paired with the Tea Drops, you will have the perfect gift for your Mom! 

The perfect Michigan made Artisan Caramels that were made exclusively for Little Luxuries! These caramels are a delicious sweet treat and are the perfect addition to any present!

Have you tried the amazing Hanover’s Michigan Mints? These delicious chocolates are made in my hometown of St. John’s, Michigan! I love the Michigan Cherry and Mint Chocolates! We have a variety of milk chocolate and dark chocolate - if you want to add these to a present, you won’t regret it! 

The cutest gift for Mom or grandma is the Kitchen Buddy Spatula. What an adorable pairing - one large spatula with handy, dandy measuring table on the back, paired with it's mini-me! These are great gifts for the avid baker, mom and child cookie baking tag team, the always entertaining hostess, and / or anyone who has a kitchen!

I’ve mentioned tea a lot, but we know the Moms out there love their coffee!! Our Lake Charlevoix Coffee is back in stock! This is locally made in Northern Michigan by an awesome company and we love selling this- and you love drinking it!

A PERFECT gift for Mom and Grandma: Beth Mueller and it’s back in stock! We have so many mugs, plates, trays and more in for the new season. This makes a great gift for Mom. It’s classic, yet reminds her of her best summer days on Mackinac. 

My favorite part of any gift is our signature line, Mackinac Bath and Body! Goat’s Milk Hand Lotion, Body Butter, Bar Soap, Room Spray and Body Spray are all included in four different scents. We already have them packaged in a gift box ready to go, if that’s easier for you!

If none of the options above interest you for Mom, shoot us an email! We’d love to help you pick out the perfect gift to send to Mom this year.

Half-Bath Remodel

This winter we are working on a few house projects. One that I am super excited about is our half-bathroom remodel! 

I thought I would share a few pictures of the new pieces that are going in the bathroom! I can't wait to show you the final result!

Olive Branch Wallpaper from Magnolia

Lavendon Farmhouse/Country Distressed Accent Mirror from Wayfair

Hildred 2 - Light Dimmable Vanity Light from Wayfair 

Valle Single Hole Single-Handle Bathroom Faucet in Oil Rubbed Bronze

Rectangular Bathroom Ceramic Vessel Sink Art Basin in White

I'm SO excited for this vanity! It is being custom built for the bath and I think that it will complete the room perfectly and also provide enough storage!

I can't wait for the half-bath to come together and show you the final results!
