13 Valentine's Day Gifts For Grown-Ass Women Who Can Buy Their Own Chocolate

by Meg Kehoe

If you hadn’t noticed, Valentine’s Day swag is everywhere. And it’s been everywhere for weeks already! It seems like every year, holiday preparations begin earlier and earlier. But who wants to buy a box of heart-shaped chocolates an entire month in advance? Better yet, who wants to get a box of stale heart-shaped chocolates? Rather than gifting your favorite gal with the standard flowers or chocolate, why not branch out and give her a gift she’ll actually use. With a little bit of preparation and these glorious Valentine's Day gifts for grown-ass women, you can be sure to wow the woman in your life.

Although it might be easier to lean back and go the traditional route (because let’s face it, you can pick up flowers and chocolate at any shop on Feb. 14), going the extra mile and doing a little bit of extra research can reap you big rewards. Too easily, Valentine’s Day can become a day full of stress, and defining the relationship. Without diving into territory too deep, you can still show your affection. The best part? All of these gifts are perfect for girlfriends, best friend, sisters, moms, and everyone in between. Whether your favorite girl is sassy and she knows it, or she’s in need of a little rest and relaxation, this list has it all. So scroll away, my gift givers, and don’t be afraid of the lovey-dovey holiday.
