Valentine’s Day is the celebration of love, a kind of love usually reserved for that special significant other. But while there are many who are loved-up and smug, there are also others who are (happily, of course) single.
But fret not, for, no matter which relationship camp you’re in, I’m here to help you celebrate the greatest love that everyone should have: the love for yourself.
And so in honour of this, I have compiled a list of the weird and wonderful, to ensure that you treat yo’self this Valentine’s, as nothing quite compares to the rush of online shopping.
Here’s to loving yourself.
1. F*ck That – An Honest Meditation, by Jason Headley
The first item in this marvellous compilation of useless items is this wonderful meditation book designed to alleviate the stresses of life. Be it the looming results day, or just the general stress of adult-ing (how does one all the various food items to be served at the same time?), this book has got your back.
The title echoes a student’s motto as their lecturer assigns them a 3000 word essay. ‘F*ck that’ the student says, as they choose to spend the evening in Ocean instead.
With motivational phrases set against beautiful scenery, this book may be just what you need to help you love yourself.
2. The World’s Most Stylish Phone Charger by GET IT RAPT.
Modestly titled a selection of simple but chic designs, what more could you ask for?
Oh yes, I almost forgot. This actually serves a very functional purpose. It’s a portable charger! It’s compatible with iPhone 5/5s/5c/6/6 plus and it’s only 9cm by 9cm so it’s very small and nifty and will fit into your bag (even if your huge laptop is occupying 110% of the space).Say goodbye to those desperate Hallward posts on Facebook asking for a pity charge!

3. Cocktail bath melts
Need a drink but an essay due the next day?
These ‘Cocktail Bath Melts’ are your (un)satisfying answer. You get the smell and the promise of alcohol, but alas, no drink will pass those lips; it’s only a tease. Maybe it’s better than nothing, maybe it’s worse, but you won’t know till you try!
They actually look yummy as well, so a pro tip is to bring some food with you into the bath in case you get hungry during your 3-hour long and try to eat the bath melts.

4. An Electronic Wine Breather
Did you know that for maximum enjoyment of your £4 bottle of wine, you should let it breathe first?
No? I didn’t either.
I know no one drinks wine for the taste on a standard night out, but this little motor may make your cheap bottle of wine a little easier to swallow.
By releasing air into the wine, your wine will be properly ‘breathed’ in a mere minute, making your night just that little bit more enjoyable.
Breathe easy.
5. Bubble bath machine
Hopping back onto the bath wagon, this bubble bath machine may be just what you need for an intense and expensive pampering session.
Haven’t you heard? Only the peasants use the natural movement of the water and their hands to form bubbles anymore. Get with it, darling!

6. Ring phone holder
This last product is actually quite genius.
Brushing aside the fact that it’s in an adorable cat shape, it may also be the saviour of any butter-fingered (: drunk) student out there.
Simply attach it onto the back of your phone and slide the ring onto your figure while browsing your phone for maximum security. Phone dropping and cracked screens will truly be a thing of the past with this ingenious idea.
The ring also has a secondary function. It can be used to prop up the phone so your poor, tired hands can take a break from holding it. Props to the makers.

So, there you have it. Part with to make this Valentine’s .
