Your Guide to Valentine’s Day Gifts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, don’t forget to get a little something for all the sweeties in your life. Here are some quick last minute gift ideas for everyone on your list!

 

Your Best FriendSign up your bestie for a subcription to Birchbox. For $10 a month, you can get a box of samples of the best beauty products to try out. From makeup, to hair products, to perfume, your best friend can get a box of goodies every month! Get her a three month subscription, maybe she’ll share a few samples with you for being such an awesome friend! Request an invitation at birchbox.com

Your ParentsDon’t forget to send your parents a little something on this day of love. Get them a nice picture frame with pictures of your family so they can always be reminded of the people they love! This wall frame from World Market is affordable and classic.

Your BoyfriendOne key tip for buying for your guy for Valentine’s Day (or any holiday for that matter): don’t go overboard. Doing something really cheesy and over-the-top is fine if your boyfriend is into that, but chances are he’s not. Get him something useful and cool that he’ll actually like, like a homemade whiskey and rum making kit or tickets to see a band that he really likes.

Your RoommatesSpread the love by getting your roomies some chocolate or baking something yummy for everyone in your apartment. This recipe for white chocolate chip red velvet cookies sounds delicious!
