Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Top Presents For Him Or Her Plus All Your Family Members!

Valentine’s Day is a day of love, lust, passion and most importantly, gifts. Now while it is certainly the time of year to be showering your loved ones with gifts, Valentine’s Day provides couples, families and friends the time to give thoughtful and affectionate gifts, rather than opulent ones. When Cupid’s arrow is involved, the best gifts are those that come from the heart. So we have rounded up our favorite gifts for everyone from your parents, your best friends to your siblings, and of course your special Mr. or Mrs. Right!

Mom

If your mom is like mine, then she insists that when it comes time for gifts, don’t spend a lot. On Valentine’s Day, I always want to get her a small token of something to remind her just how much I love her, regardless of the dollar price. This year I actually stumbled upon the perfect item while browsing in Sephora, a luxurious, lightweight, whipped body moisturizer that hydrates and soothes winter skin. Philosophy’s Loveswept Whipped Body Crème adds a touch of romance to your body-care ritual. The crème melts onto skin leaving nothing but silky-softness and a whisper of the Loveswept fragrance, for only $33.00, this beauty product is the perfect token to remind mom how much you love her.

Dad

As for Dads, all they really want is some peace and quiet, but like most holidays in my house, Valentine’s Day turns into a hectic day of my sisters and I crying over boyfriends, ex-boyfriends and everything in between. So in order to try to help my dad combat the wails, I decided it was time he learned the magic, relaxing power of Netflix! Netflix is my saving grace. I watch it on my iPhone. I watch it on my iPad. And I watch it on my computer. Nothing says “I love you” like giving your dad the power of unlimited TV and movies that he can watch literally anywhere, and at any time. Gift packages for Netflix came in varying month subscriptions, from 1 month up to a full year. I purchased my dad the 3 month subscription for the affordable price of$23.97, and you can even send a cute Valentine’s Day card via email telling them that their days of Netflix glory have begun.

Sister

For your sister, something simple and sweet should do the trick. Every girl loves chocolate, and while chocolate covered strawberries are normally romantic, they also serve as a sweet reminder of love. Also, if you're single and celebrating alone on this annual love fest, anything covered in chocolate certainly lessens the burn. Shari’s Berries delivers perfectly ripe, and decadently divine chocolate covered strawberries for only $29.98, and if you order right now they are offering a 15% discount, when using the code ‘BERRYLOVE.’

Brother

Now we know Valentine’s Day is normally reserved for lovers, but don’t forget about your brother. While they certainly know how to annoy you, you also have learned to love them, so try and make their day special too. A great gift for your brother is a Google Chromecast, and despite being some new-aged piece of technology it will only cost you $32.49 at Best Buy. The device claims that it is the easiest way to enjoy online video and music on your TV—does your brother watch Netflix, HBO GO, YouTube and Hulu? Of course he does! And now with Chromecast, he can watch all of his favorite online videos on his TV, such an upgraded viewing experience for such a little cost!

Friend

I don’t know about you but I happen to truly enjoy Valentine’s Day, Not only am I addicted to chocolate, but I simply love to love and love to give people gifts they will love. So I decided to include my girlfriends in the holiday fun. Whether your friends love silver or gold, we got it covered.
