Overly-commercialized-Hallmark-holiday or not, Valentine’s Day is probably one of my favorite days of the year. Whether you’re in a relationship with that special someone and looking to pass along some cute ideas, or just looking for a fun gift for your close girl friends here are some great beauty-filled Valentine’s Day gift ideas that aren’t flowers (they die, anyway) or chocolate (who needs all those extra calories).
1) True Love Gift Set - LUSH ($44.95, lushusa.com)
Nothing says “I love you” quite like a night of pampering, and this gift set from LUSH has all the ingredients for a relaxing night: bath bomb, soap, shower gel, body cream and massage bar all heavenly scented as most LUSH products are.
