Last Minute Valentine’s Gifts Under $10

You’ve either suddenly been invited to a girl’s night for Valentine’s day or you’ve been so busy you forgot to get your significant other something. Even if you don’t fall into either of these categories, I think you’ll want to save these ideas for a rainy day.

Notes of affirmation

Decorate your roomate/boyfriend/best friend’s door or mirror in a sticky note heart! On each one, write something you love about them or just something to make them smile. This costs only a couple dollars as pink sticky notes really don’t break the bank 🙂

Simple snack

Get a box of microwave popcorn and address each packet to a Valentine. I think this one is great for coworkers or classmates because it’s easy to make several of these. Simply get some tape or cute ribbon to attach each little card that says, “You make my heart go pop!”

Valentine’s day inspired makeup 

This ones for the girls in your life. Head to the drugstore and scout out some great pink lipstick or nail polish. (You could do red, too if you so wish!) You can wrap in cellophane and tie with cute ribbon for extra presentation points.

Go traditional 

Flowers and chocolate, ya’ll. Flowers and chocolate.

The “girls rule” gift

If you and your bestie have decided “girls rule, boys drool” and you’re just going to have a BFF celebration this Valetine’s Day – this will be a great gift. Buy a couple February editions of girly magazines (Cosmo, Glamour, etc.) and gift them to her along with…well, a glass of wine! Or a Diet Coke…whichever you happen to have on hand!

Valentine’s Day breakfast

Instead of gifts, do a Valentine’s Day breakfast with your boyfriend, sorority big, etc. The donut shops always have cute, Valentine’s themed donuts that you guys could much on. Or, you could raid your fridge to see what you can whip up. Let me direct you back to my favorite banana-egg pancakes recipe.

What are you getting your loved ones for Valentine’s Day? How will you celebrate?
