With Valentine’s Day approaching, baed-up college babes are deliberating the presents, restaurants and day plans to gift their loved ones. The single-as-a-pringle ones may either be chastising themselves for not bagging a guy/gal in time for cupid’s holiday while catching up on Sex and the City reruns, or commending themselves for their single status as a way to save money they currently do not have. Now, for the girls in the middle of the spectrum, the girls who have yet to leave the “talking” barricade, our single-yet-taken shorties, the Meredith Grey-season-two girlies, what the hell do gift your bae (who’s NOT your bae)?!
5. Chocolates
It’s true, people love this. A sweet and inexpensive treat, yet sufficient enough to show someone you care. Did I mention that it’s cheap?
4. A Starbucks gift card
Show your faux bae that you care enough to not gift them a Tim Hortons gift card. Show them that you acknowledge their caramel macchiato addiction, as it truly gets the best of us.
3. Bottle of Wine
Enable the Olivia Pope within your not-so bae by gifting them with a $12.99 bottle of pinot noir. Do not forget to invite yourself, indulge in a night of wine and laughter or a possibility to progress to #2.
2. The goodies (*cues Ciara’s 2004 hit single* )
Yes, the cookies, nookies, and other non-rhyming euphemisms. A great gift with dual benefits.
1. NOTHING
If neither of you have made it official yet, it is alright. You are not obligated to buy a gift for a “possibly;” save your coins and your sanity, sis.
