I have two good friends who are both going through divorces & this is going to be their first Valentine’s Day being single. They have been through so much in the last year & I thought if I made them a little Valentine’s gal pal gift maybe it would help this holiday not completely suck.
This somewhat creeping looking thing is actually a fantastic smelling, heatable neck pillow. I got the idea from this post, it’s basically a baby legwarmer filled with rice & drops of lavender, peppermint & eucalyptus oils. Sew one end shut, fill with rice, drop in oil, sew other end shut and massage it to distribute the oil. I also included a little tag with microwaving instructions.
Also thrown in the bag were chocolates & a pedicure gift certificate.
Don’t forget your single friends this V-day, I don’t see any reason why we can’t just be eachother’s valentines, right?

Leslie Knope does say February 13th is Galentine’s Day.
Omgosh, I love Parks & Rec and totally was thinking of quoting her saying that!
Thanks for the idea! My baby sister is going through a really nasty divorce right now and I was trying to think of things to do for her tomorrow
That is a great idea, I love it!. I have sent flowers to my single friends in the past to make them feel specials and it good to surprise them:)
What a cute idea
I have been reading your blog and listening to Kane show for quite sometime… and never realized the connection until recently!! Small world!
How funny is that?! I’ve heard a couple of people say that…such a small world!
That is such a sweet, thoughtful idea! Too late for this year, u I am going to try o remember to do something similar in the future. I remember being single on V Day. it sucked.
That is such a sweet idea–what a good friend you are! I am w/o a Valentine this year (it is really hard to meet normal guys!), but I decided to buy myself a necklace I had been coveting for awhile, and I’m also giving little gifts and cards to some of my girlfriends to celebrate the day!
Good for you! I love that you treated yourself and celebrated with friends.
What a sweet idea! You are a great friend!
Oh that’s so nice. I’m sure they will appreciate it.
