Think Outside the Chocolate Box

Valentine’s Day is already mundane enough without you buying the typical chocolates, flowers and Hallmark cards. It is time to think outside the “chocolate box” and give the even greater gift of your love this Valentine’s Day. Without busting the bank, think about how you can show those you love how much they mean to you with these awesome gifts.

  1. Desktop Basketball is $35 at Uncommon Goods, and will bring endless fun to the guy in your life. It’s a creative gift that he will inevitably use.
  2. Pac-Man on the go is $25.95 at Urban Outfitters for the gamer in everybody. You can go more retro and gift this timeless game.
  3. Hit up Target to buy a rocking pair of socks for either your guy or gal. They have great styles and probably the perfect fit for the ones you love.
  4. Bendy Heart Ring is the perfect, dainty piece of jewelry for the special girl in your life. It’s $9.03 on Etsy from Bex Bea, made with love for your significant other.
