Valentine's Day Gift Guides 2014

Hello lovelies! I know I missed last week's post so to make up for it, I've made a series of gift guides for Valentine's Day.  Now I love flowers and chocolate just as much as the next gal, but for those of us who usually fly solo on this non holiday, that seems a little played out.  My mother and sister and I started a tradition some years ago of getting each other little gifts on this date and it's something I really enjoy doing.

Obviously, girls of every type (regardless of relationship status) enjoy getting gifts and so I put these together with that in mind. Also, with birthdays and all the other holidays in the calendar, there's no need to spend a lot of money on each other.  For that reason, everything pictured is $25 or less.  Of course I've painted broad strokes here with my categories, but I'm pretty sure there's something here for everyone.
