Who Says Valentine’s Day Gifts Can’t Come From The Heart?

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

You know what time of year it is. When red and pink are the prominent colors and the only thing that Necco brand is good at producing is back on the market again—Sweethearts candy.   But the only problem is, you don’t want to go buy a dozen roses to send to either yourself or a loved one.  Nor do you want to go buy pounds of candy, stuffed animals, and endless other amounts of overpriced, and gaudy Valentine’s Day rubbish. Yet, you still want to posess the gift of giving. Well my friends, have no fear! Here are some fun ideas to help you avoid being a part of the same annual Valentine’s crowd of mainstream gift-givers.

My name is pronounced like "Queen". I am a sophomore at the University of San Francisco with a double major in French and Advertising. Cats, Couture, Desserts, and France basically sum up my whole life. :)
Coming across Her Campus as a senior in high school and then leading her very own branch, Emily proudly calls herself the co-president and editor-in-chief of Her Campus University of San Francisco. While Emily has a guilty addiction to shopping, celebrities, and all things "girly" she hopes that she can integrate this into a relatable magazine to the women of her campus. Emily has a slight infatuation for John Krasinski and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. When she's not day dreaming about her future husbands, Emily is participating in many extra curricular activities such as her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. Emily enjoys good company, good FOOD, and a good ole' television. One of the most recent television series Emily has become a fan of is ABC's Pan Am. If only Pan Am continued to exist, Emily would have seriously considered becoming a stewardess. The success of the branch has yet to blossom. Emily hopes that she can bring Her Campus University of San Francisco to its full potential. In the future, Emily plans studying abroad all over the European continent and pursue her passion of social justice through fashion.
