So I was thinking about the immense dilemmas and crises girls and guys experience every year around this time: Valentine' Day.
Now if you don't have a significant other in your life, that's cool too. If I were you, I'd either stay at home and pamper myself with all the foods I love and all the tv I could watch or head on out with some friends to celebrate the single life.
However, I thought I'd write this post to help a guy or gal out there that has no idea what to get their significant other for V-Day! I'll try to keep everything in the affordable range so don't clutch at your wallets just yet!
UNISEX GIFTS:
Lush Cosmetics Body Care is a very nice option if your guy or gal likes to keep clean and smelling fresh! You can buy a small tub of Strawberry Shaving Cream which retails for about $10 or one of their soaps which range from the clean smelling to the fruity smelling! Lush is an all vegetarian company with some very fun and friendly products that make great gifts.
If your guy or gal loves to be fashionable or is searching for that piece of jewelry that'll achieve nirvana then try the Lokai Bracelet! If you haven't heard of this, the idea behind it is pretty cool! It's a bracelet with a bead that holds water from the highest point on Earth (Mt Everest) and the lowest (mud from the Dead Sea). It's a very thoughtful and unique gift without breaking the bank. It retails for $18 and can be bought here:

If you spoil your significant other and have been with them for a while now, then the simple chocolate and flowers may be a good idea. I've been with my boyfriend for over 4 years and love getting simple gifts because sometimes less is more. You can also substitute the chocolate for those lovely festive LE Red Velvet Oreos that have gone viral which can be found at your local Walmart or Target!
If your significant other is sporty or loves to hit the gym a lot, then yurbuds earbuds may be a good item to get for them because they are designed to fit and shape to different ear sizes. I own a pair and absolutely adore them because they work so well!
FOR HER:
If your girl adores makeup, then you cannot go wrong with Mac Cosmetics Russian Red, Ruby Woo, Diva, Rebel or Girl About Town lipsticks! These 5 are suited for essentially any and every skin tone and makes any girl feel beautiful and sexy. Plus, I feel like everyone should own at least one Mac product if they enjoy wearing makeup. You can get these lipsticks at $16 each. If that's too steep then there are plenty of dupes out there. Just search them up :)
I personally love it when my room smells good, so Bath & Body Works candles are always a good idea. They are currently having a promo for $10 candles, one of which is called "Love," and smells like pink lemonade! If she doesn't like candles to set the mood, then the "Mad About You" body care line might be a good alternative. It smells fruity, floral, and a bit musky; a sexy sweet perfume perfect for dates.
If surprises aren't her thing, then maybe take her to a mid end store like Forever 21 or H&M and take her shopping. Buy her a dress or cute outfit to wear on V-day to show off to you! But beware because this may get expensive.
FOR HIM:
If your man loves to grill or cook, then a fancy pan or skillet might be a great option! Walmart has an awesome variety of chic looking cookware that is perfect for the guy that loves to work in the kitchen! Prices range anywhere from $15 and upwards.
If he's a gamer then he probably knows or plays Minecraft! I would suggest the Minecraft plushes or mystery keychains found at Walmart or Target usually in the Toy aisle by the Pokemon stuff; they retail anywhere from $5 to $20 so it's a very caring yet affordable gift.
If your guy is a car guy, then I would suggest those amazingly scented car jars from Yankee candle! They come in some amazeball scents and are cheap too! I'm pretty sure you can get them 3 for $12; correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought I'd throw in an extra one, if your guy likes to keep track of the day or is always finding himself late, then check out Macy's and their amazing variety of watches! They have tons of designer brands always on sale; they range from $25 and upwards depending on your budget.
IF YOU AREN'T IN TO GIVING GIFTS:
Just go watch Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend. I don't need to explain. Just go watch a sexier knockoff of the Twilight series and have fun with it!
Or bake something new! Macarons! Cupcakes! Cake! Go crazy with your sweetheart and spend some time getting messy in the kitchen.
Stay in and play board games or talking about what you love about one another; or take a small adventure out to your favorite park or waterfront area. You can never go wrong with something simple.
Or even write each other letters. Be old fashioned for once. Valentine's Day is just a commercialized day designed to boost sales in my opinion; but I celebrate it because I'm into the fad.
Remember to show your loved ones that you love them everyday!
That's my V-day gift guide for Him & Her :) let me know if this helped and what you're doing for Valentine's Day!!!
