31 Best Gifts for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is Friday! I know. I can’t believe it either. Bless you, if you are prepared and way ahead of the game. For the rest of us, the way I see it we have options:

1. Ignore the day altogether and assume our spouses, kids, grandkids, friends, family, and co-workers, will think we forgot and give us a pass. Not recommended.
2. Get thee to the card shop and post office to pick up Valentine’s cards and plenty of postage stamps, then get them in the mail, pronto!
3. Make sweet treats in your kitchen befitting the day—still plenty of time for this one.
4. Plan a date with your love, even if your wallet is a little thin. Get creative to find reasonable and fun alternatives that require only pocket change—or with any luck, some that are absolutely free. I have a few ideas for you in Great Dates for Couples on a Tight Budget.
5. Plan a Fun Family Party. Here are 8 Fun Family Games for Valentine’s Day to get you started.
6. Find the perfect little something for those special someones in our lives—there is still plenty of time to do this, too.

Should you be leaning toward option #6, here are 31 great gift ideas that are sure to please but won’t break the bank, divided into three categories. You can click on one to jump to that category or read straight through. Enjoy!
