Who Cares If We Don't Have a Date — Here Are Valentine's Day Gifts to Give Yourself!

Ah, February 14, the day for lovers to celebrate their everlasting love. Or the day for us to celebrate our love for ourselves! Even if we aren’t in a relationship, that doesn’t mean we have any less love in our lives. And even if we are in a relationship, that doesn’t mean we can’t put ourselves first once in a while!

While there are plenty of great gifts we can give others to show them just how much we care, we think it’s only fitting to treat ourselves to some Valentine’s Day gifts as well! If you want to show yourself a little love too, we've rounded up a gift guide that's all about you. These gifts range from “treat yourself” to “pretty darn useful,” so it’s all about getting what you want and need.

Take yourself on a trip! And not just any trip — a trip that's also friendly to your wallet! If you're traveling on a budget, use Skyscanner to search for the cheapest getaway from your location. Schedule a massage, bring that book you've been dying to read, and give yourself some much needed "you time."

Black may or may not be the new pink, but Paperage is definitely the new Moleskine. We’re as much of a sucker for a Moleskine journal as anyone, but Paperage makes journals from recycled materials.

They taste great and include melatonin and CBN — plus all of Onyx + Rose’s products are lab-tested, so there’s proof in the pudding that they will actually work. The sweet dreams bundle also includes an overnight face mask, which brings real meaning to the phrase "beauty sleep."
