 Stuck on what to get your Valentine or Galentine? These inexpensive gifts say it all. Red hearts, pink roses, and chocolate advertisements are a sure sign Valentine’s Day is around the corner, but it doesn’t have to be expensive nor does it have to be romantic to speak from your heart. February fourteenth is the perfect day to reach out and show love for the person you care about. If you want gifts to show your thoughtfulness, try one of these ideas to get into the Valentine’s Day feels. Good quality chocolate, a bouquet, and a calm candle are easy go-tos, but if you’re looking for creative gifts, these ideas might spark your interest.  1. Bake. Who doesn’t love a sweet treat without the guilt of eating it because it’s made by you? Brownies, cookies, cupcakes, or donuts, decorated by you of course are a sure sign of love. Isn't dessert the best way to celebrate? 2. Make it personal. Write a poem or a note. Whether you buy a card or make one, sharing a fun moment or why you love the person is personal and a true treasure. 3. Every writer loves a seasonal mug, you know the one with a thick handle and cool design or saying? It’s a win-win. 4. Pens and pencils are a useful gift. There’s nothing like a boost of confidence when reading a pen with the words, "You got this!" or "Embrace the journey." Whatever saying it is, words of encouragement are appreciated, and they know you care and are cheering them on.  5. Taylor Swift might have made friendship bracelets cool again, but sending your beta reader, writerly friend or companion is a fun way to remind them you are grateful for their friendship and love. 6. Writing gloves are great for cold hands. If you want to splurge, Stori Arts is a fun, inspirational store with the most beautiful writing gifts. https://storiarts.com/collections/fingerless-gloves 7. Printing a photo of a memory the two of you share and place it in a frame. You can paint a wooden frame and add a heart or two in the corners to give the Valentine's Day feel.  8. Writers will kick up their heels with new socks, especially ones with fun patterns. Your local bookstore usually has a good selection. 9. Books will never go out of style. If there’s a new release on your person’s to-read pile, perfect, but gifting a writer or any creative person a book on craft is a pleasure to receive. How-tos, inspirational, and memoirs are reminders of the possibilities and support you offer.
10. Instead of a box of chocolates, why not a box of their favourite things? A gift box can be purchased at a dollar store. Section it with their favourite candies, a notepad, pen, instant coffee, hands ream, lip balm... the ideas are endless. Be creative and have Fun! It's not about how expensive the gift is, it's the thought that counts. Happy Valentine's Day! Want to give a suggestion for a gift? Leave it in the comments. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
