Many feel discouraged when they realize it’s that time of the year when hearts and flowers are at every turn. Valentine’s Day is not only reserved for couples; its full meaning is to celebrate the love you feel for others, whether that’s a parent, a friend, or a significant other.

Here are some ways to celebrate and give back to those you love this Valentine’s Day.

This year, Valentine’s Day gifts have been stocked in stores early. Target has a huge Valentine’s Day section both in stores and online. One of the initial standouts I found while looking for gifts for my friends is the Dash Mini Waffle Maker. It’s $9.99 and such a simple and cute gift for a close friend. Some other easy gifts can be candles or candy, and you can never go wrong with a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant.

Gifts for parents can be tricky for Valentine’s Day, because I use up all my good gift ideas during the Christmas season. For Valentine’s Day this year, I thought to cater more to my parent’s hobbies.

For my mom, I got a Stanley Tumbler because she loves to go on long walks. For my dad, I thought it would be nice for him to have all his books in one place, so I bought him a Kindle.
Some other simple gifts for your parents could be a robe, mug, perfume, cologne, or a new book.

You can make any gift more personal if you know the receiver’s interests.

There are many gift ideas for your significant other that isn’t just average flowers and chocolate.

It’s important to remember that this is a gift to not only show your love, but also your appreciation for them, so the more thought you put into it, the better.

For girls who like jewelry, take note of the more regular pieces they wear on a day-to-day basis.

Although larger jewelry companies like Tiffany are more popular, you can find so many customizable jewelry stores on sites like Etsy.

Guys love gifts, too, so no matter his interests, there is a gift for him. Some of the most popular things I found on sites like Target or Dick Sporting Goods are Apple AirTags, Theraguns, shaving kits, or a nice watch.
