If you could do without the theatrics and have been thinking about adding something new to your home, like a decor piece or life-changing appliance, I've added those, too.

It's easy to get wrapped up in holidays and spend every waking moment trying to find the perfect gift for your spouse or for your Galentine, so use this guide as permission to step back from the stress and think about what you would love to get. If you have a loved one or a few friends planning to gift you with something sweet, think of your gift to yourself as an added bonus.
Below, shop some of the best Valentine's Day gifts for yourself that will help you feel loved and cherished. I repeat: You deserve it!!!

It's a fact that you could never use too many Hot Girl Walking / Running shoes, so allow me to introduce you to your next favorite pair.
