Sometimes, to get the gift you really want, you just have to go ahead and get it for yourself. And we sure as heck don’t think there’s anything wrong with treating yourself to a little shopping every once in a while, right? So whether you’re into reading, cooking, or self-care—or if you simply want ALL OF THE COFFEE—there’s something here to make you smile.
This list of great last-minute gifts includes things that are all less than $50. And, because they’re available at stores that are likely close by for many of us (or you can get them by ordering with Amazon Prime), they can be picked up any time between now and Valentine’s Day. So, you can send a subtle hint to your other half, or just treat yourself. You definitely deserve it.
