Last-Minute
Valentine’s Day Gifts
A strategy for gifting in a time crunch
You have less than a week to buy your significant other something for Valentine’s Day, but don’t panic ... we have some last-minute gifts that will make you appear more than prepared. When you're always shopping at the last minute, the trick is not to pick gifts out that scream, “I forgot it was Valentine's Day.” Since you've put yourself in a time crunch, think practical: subscription boxes, online cooking classes, and it never hurts to add flowers. Who doesn't like flowers?!

Give Her
a Fresh Start
Want to surprise her with something unexpected this Valentine's Day? Something new to kickstart her year in the right direction? Offer her a fresh start. Make up the bed with a soft set of brushed flannel sheets or give her a cozy sherpa-lined throw to make movie nights even more luxurious. Or surprise her with an indulgent style item to refresh her wardrobe. She's been dropping hints, right? How about a chic leather jacket, bag or pair of boots? She'll appreciate that you took a risk and these classics will never disappoint.

Delight With
Quality Blooms
This is not the occasion to show up with flowers that came home with you from the grocery store. Or the cheesy arrangements getting marked up for the holiday. We like turning to UrbanStems, who has made a name for themselves with their tasteful arrangements that suit a variety of styles and budgets. And while quality roses are always a sure bet, don't be afraid to go outside the norm and select blooms that feature your partner's favorite color. You'll always get points for trying.
