Create a Cozy Winter Wonderland Valentine’s Day Theme
How to add Valentine's Day Decorations to your Winter Wonderland Home Décor!
Does it seem like time is just flying by? Christmas is over, the New year has begun…and I am still not ready to let go of my cozy Winter Wonderland.
Valentine’s Day is coming and I already know I don’t want any “cheesy” decorations, that is just not my jam.
In an effort to preserve my Winter Wonderland decorations (my trees, woodland garland, snowy rugs…you get it), I decided I would look for “neutral Valentine’s Day decorations”. Guess how much luck I had there?

Me, a hopeless romantic – I LOVE Valentine’s Day!
Decorating for Valentine’s Day has always been such a challenge…and it always seemed a bit pointless I guess since it was just one day. Plus, I just can’t do “cheesy” decorations.
After creating some neutral Valentine’s Day decorations (check out these easy crafts here), I am starting to get excited about the future of the Valentine’s Day Winter Wonderland theme!
After hitting up Marshall's, I got inspired by some Rae Dunn Valentine's Day mugs, bird house, candy jar...etc (the obsession grew and grew)!
All of my fellow Rae Dunn lovers out there know what I’m talking about! It is so easy to just want to buy it all!
As a Super Coffee Lover, it only seemed right to get some beautiful mugs for my Valentine's Day Décor, and let's keep it real, I USE COFFEE MUGS!
Valentine’s Day can be just another day, or you can choose to make it a day put there to remind you to spread some Love. We all get busy, don’t get too busy for Love! Use this day to remind you if you forget!
Ferrero Rocher gift boxes in a bowl make for cute Valentine’s Day decorations, and serve as a “grab gift” if someone stops by!
A small token of appreciation goes a long way! I like to give Ferrero Rocher gifts like these roses, so cute! 
These roses I found this year are awesome! When I see someone in need of a gift of Love, I grab one and hand it out! It always makes everyone so happy! It makes great décor in the meantime! I put them in a vase!
Gift Ideas that double as decorations!
During one of my Target shopping outings I happened to find a lot of crafting supplies, see my post on DIY Valentine’s Day Décor Crafts, some really cute kitchen towel sets, cute bakeware like pink, red, and white heart-shaped ramekins and pink and red small heart-shaped casserole dishes.
These started out as craft ideas and Valentine’s Day gift ideas(check out my post on easy Valentine’s Day gifts for the whole family for under $20).
Some of these gifts may end up being self-love gifts…is that wrong? In my opinion, no! LOL Love yourself!
I am still not over winter, and the Groundhog Phil agrees and said 6 more weeks of winter. I wanted to bring in Valentine’s Day gently, and still keep that winter wonderland feeling (Check out my Winter Wonderland Décor post).
These make the perfect addition to my Valentine’s Day Winter Wonderland Theme!
I am absolutely falling madly in love with this concept of neutral Valentine’s Day decorations, elegant and subtle!

Rose petal soap – pretty, easy and functional. They smell great when they are out, the look beautiful and it’s soap! Lovely!
X’s and O’s – hugs and kisses all day! In my decor you’ll see some wood hearts and X’s and O’s.
- The wood crafts you can get from Target, The Dollar Tree and Amazon.

Pretty candy and chocolates – Chocolate hearts, candy hearts, or be really luxurious and get some Ferrero Rocher Roses!
- Put the roses in a vase, they look amazing too! (I got some of these that double as gifts and décor)
- I like to keep these on hand to give to anyone I may need to help brighten their day!
A thoughtful gift goes a long way!
Add a custom made piece to a fun filled box/basket and some fresh baked goodies to add a personal touch!
Some more custom Valentine’s Day crafts I made and added to my Winter Wonderland décor.
I found some great stuff at Target and made some great little crafts to add in. I gilded some ceramic hearts and painted and gilded some gnomes. They are both a really cute and easy way to bring in some neutral Valentine’s Day Décor while still keeping the winter love alive!
