While many people long to hear three little words, an expression of love can take on many forms. From a simple gesture to a meaningful tradition, Valentine’s Day is a time to solidify that connection with loved ones. For Jennifer Love Hewitt, the sweetest moments are filled with loving intention.
Valentine’s Day has become a huge moment in pop culture. It is more than movie magic that gets people dreaming about epic adventures and happily ever after. The FOMO created while scrolling through romantic dinners and grand escapes can make anyone wonder if gilded romance has become too much.
For Jennifer Love Hewitt, Valentine’s Day does not necessarily mimic those well-crafted scenes that have viewers swooning over every word. With her family by her side, the celebration is focused on meaningful, sweet moments that create fond memories.
During a recent conversation facilitated by Ferrero Rocher, Hewitt spoke honestly about her Valentine’s Day preferences. Like many moms, the family focus is on full display.
Specifically, she mentioned that she likes to get everyone involved in the celebration. Hewitt said, “I make love baskets for our kids, and we always do heart shaped pizzas for dinner.” Those suggestions are doable by anyone. It does not take Hollywood magic to bring a visually appealing pizza to the table.
Those suggestions go to the heart of what Hewitt appreciates at Valentine’s Day. Recalling a gift from her husband, the concept was about thoughtfulness. When asked about a gift idea, she suggested, “something personal like a love note jar with a hundred reasons why I love you. One year, my husband gave me an art piece with red lips all over and it was amazing.”
Those ideas go to the sentiment of what the holiday is all about. At the same time, creating traditions withing the celebration are key. Hewitt shared her traditions are “Ferrero Rocher chocolates and reading the kids’ valentines with them after school.”
While unwrapping the gold foil from those chocolate hazelnut candies always reveals a sweet treat, the Ferrero Rocher can be used in many ways. For example, Hewitt mentioned that she has used them in centerpieces or as simple gifts.
In some ways, finding a way to bring some sweetness to people’s lives is even more important in today’s tumultuous world. From the California fire tragedies to life’s daily struggles, everyone can appreciate a little ray of sunshine in their day.
When asked how she ensures that the people in her life feel supported, loved and resilient in the hope of staying strong in these unpredictable times, Hewitt said, “this little life we live is so special and fragile. Every day we get is a blessing. You can’t have faith and fear at the same time. Start with faith and lead with love, from that moving forward is possible.”
From adding a golden touch to a celebration to making every moment with a special someone sparkle, always take the time to express that love for the people in your life. It only takes a moment to unwrap a Ferrero Roche candy, but the sentiment served with it lasts a lifetime.
