Valentine's Day Gifts for Single Friends
Non-Romantic Tokens of Your Friendship
Unlike in elementary school, when Valentine's Day was all about exchanging candy and cheap cards with your classmates, you probably don't want to give your best buds a generic Sponge Bob or Scooby Doo card. So what can you give your single friends this Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day Gifts for the Ladies
Gift certificates: Think beauty products and manicures. What girl doesn't love to pick out some new cosmetics? Pick up a gift card or gift certificate to her favorite store or a new spa you think she'll love. Money is always great, no matter who is getting it, without reminding the receiver of love and romance.
Gift baskets: Gift baskets are not only fun to receive, but they can be a lot of fun to put together. Come up with a theme: facial, foot care, body spa... Then pick up a few products that fit with that theme. Arrange the items into a cute basket or gift bag, then present it to her on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day Gifts for the Guys
Gift certificates: Guys love money, too. They enjoy spending it on their favorite hobbies, whether it may be outdoor activities or playing video games. Pick up a gift card to your buddy's favorite shopping place--thoughtful, but not romantic.
Gift baskets: What kind of Valentine's gift baskets work for guys? It depends on what he enjoys doing. Movie baskets are always fun when they are filled with popcorn, candy, and a movie; he may also enjoy a fishing themed basket, or some new tools.
Hand-made cards are always a good bet for your single friends on Valentine's Day. Make a card using scrapbooking paper or a computer software program. It shouldn't be too sappy, though; try to keep the message inside friendly, and possible humorous.
See? It's not that difficult to come up with non-romantic gift ideas for your single friends this Valentine's Day. The listed ideas are a good start; what else can you come up with?
