It’s that time of the year again: the time when everyone Googles ‘cute Valentine’s Day date ideas’ and places extravagant flower and chocolate orders for their S/O’s. Well, everyone except you, that is. Valentine’s Day is also great for celebrating your relationships with friends and family, but it’s still sometimes easy to feel like you don’t have a place on this day if you don’t have any romantic relationships. This year, be sure to watch out for these things that’ll make you psyched for February 14th.
1. Discounted Chocolates
This is usually the day after Valentine’s Day because stores are trying to get rid of the chocolates they didn’t sell, but I don’t think anyone’s complaining. Half-priced chocolate is good any day of the year!
2. Jewelry SalesNow’s probably a good time to get yourself that necklace you’ve been eyeing in the store. And maybe that bracelet with your initials on it, and that cute heart-shaped birthstone ring.
