Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and there are tons of gift ideas. But for high school students on a budget, more affordable gifts might be the best option. Here are the best Valentine’s Day gifts you can get for your loved ones for under $20. 

Flowers

Flowers are a classic Valentine’s Day gift. As repetitive as it might be, flowers are a great way to show someone you care about them. Get them some that remind you of them, such as getting their favorite color. 

Chocolate 

Chocolate is another great Valentine’s Day gift. Every store sells it, making it very accessible. Chocolate is proven to increase a natural high that elevates a person’s mood. Plus everyone loves chocolate so you can bet it won’t go to waste. 

Hobbies/Interests

Think of something that your significant other likes to do in their free time. If they like art, you could buy them some markers or a new notebook. If they like video games, buy them something in their favorite game. Little things like these show that you care for them. 

Stuffed Animal

Getting someone a stuffed animal is a cute way to show them you love them. Keeping it in their room or on their bed would remind them of you. Stores are filled with Valentine’s Day themed stuffed animals, and you can get their favorite animal or favorite color. 

There are many gifts to give others on Valentine’s Day, and they don’t have to put a dent in your bank account. Good luck to all St. Dominic students with your Valentine’s Day, and we hope you enjoy it!
