13 of the Best Valentine's Day Decor Items For Design-Minded Moms
Valentine's Day isn't one of those holidays that requires you to decorate every square inch of your house, but that doesn't mean you still don't want to go all out. Just take one look at the red and pink-covered aisles in the stores, and we're willing to bet you buy a lot more than just the box of valentines for your kids that you went in for. From cute paper banners and mobiles to glittery pillows and heart-heavy art pieces, these Valentine's decorations are sweeter than any sugary treat, yet still sure to please even the pickiest, design-minded mom (not to mention her candy heart-loving kids). Even better, not one requires a bit of DIY or crafting. Oh, how sweet it is.
