Five Valentine’s Day gifts you should get yourself this year

It is that special day of the year again when love is celebrated between loved ones. It is Valentine’s Day!!! While you think of what to gift your loved ones, hope you have yourself in mind too.

Remember, when it comes to the most important relationship in your life, it will always be one with yourself.

So on February 14, do take some time to celebrate yourself. Regardless of your relationship status, celebrate and appreciate yourself because you deserve it.

As you mark this year’s Valentine’s Day, here are gift ideas to show yourself some love. Funnily enough, some of it will cost you almost nothing.

• A love letter to you, from you

No, it isn’t weird. It’s the most amazing gift for you and a way to show yourself some love.

So choose a time of the day and then write to yourself, explaining how much you love yourself, things you love about yourself, things you’re proud of yourself for, and basically reflect on your amazing life journey.

This is not just a way to show yourself love but also to increase your self-awareness and confidence.

• A care package

Gift yourself a box filled with things that make you excited. If you don’t make yourself happy, who else will?

The box can be filled with chocolate, your skincare products, perfume, and every other thing that make you happy.

• Spa appointment

You have been working so hard so why not pamper yourself on a spa date?

Make Valentine’s Day a spa day. Get an appointment for a manicure, pedicure, massage or whatever it is that makes you feel good and taken care of.

You are royalty and deserved to be treated as such. If you want some me-time during it you can turn off your phone and stop answering those emails and calls.

• Vacation

There is nothing bad in traveling solo if it makes you happy. You can explore any part of the world on Valentine’s Day.

Take a trip to that place you have always wanted to visit and be sure to have fun.

• Happy time

This is another gift to yourself that will cost you almost nothing.

On Tuesday, give yourself the gift of a happy time. It could be 30 minutes or more to do things that make you happy.

Think about what makes you happy and feel loved and do exactly that. It could be cooking your favorite, eating out, or anything at all just to make yourself happy.

You can also give yourself a break. A time to take your mind off all the work and stress you need to go through and just relax. You have been working all through so take a break even if just 30 minutes.

Remember, no pressure. So be your own Val and treat yourself right.
