10 for $10: Valentine’s Edition
I’ve done Valentine’s Day 10 for $10 posts in the past and I’m going to do it again this year. The reason? Whether or not you buy into the half-baked commercial holiday that is Valentine’s Day or not, there’s nothing wrong with showing a little love or token of affection for someone important in your life (friend, sibling, child, parent, partner, you name it). Instead of breaking the bank on a piece of jewelry or overpriced roses this Valentine’s Day, here are 10 great gift ideas for $10 or less.
Roses All The Way Soap – $7.95 @ Lush
It’s cheaper than a dozen roses and will last way longer – what’s not to love about this rose oil-infused soap?
Hipster Valentine’s Day Panties – $5 each @ La Senza
If you think sexy lingerie is too cheesy, you can at least freshen up your undies with a cute pair of cotton and lace hipsters featuring cheeky messages.
I Love You Mug – $10 @ Indigo
A simple message for a simple gift idea. Stuff a few bags of their favourite tea inside, or a coffee shop gift card.
Heart-to-Heart Makeup Sponges – $10 @ Sephora
Get in the spirit of things when getting your glow on for a night with your loved one with these cute heart-shaped sponges. Reusable and anti-bacterial, this trio of soft sponges is perfect for layering on foundation, blush and powder without any streaking.
Sparkly Heart Sunglasses – $8 each @ Old Navy
Designed for toddlers, this sweet little sparkly shades are a perfect pick for the love of your life; your little ones!
Love Makeup Pouch – $5.90 @ Forever 21
Tuck away those beauty essentials in this purse-friendly pouch. Perfect for keeping that perfect shade of ‘kiss me’ gloss handy and not at the bottom of your bag.
Lindt Valentine’s Milk & White Chocolates Bag – $7.49 @ Hudson’s Bay
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like chocolate, and Lindt are some of the few shelf-stable truffles I condone buying. This sweet little package contains yummy milk and white chocolate balls that’ll melt in your mouth!
Printed Socks – $4 @ Joe Fresh
Want to add a little festive flair to your wardrobe come February 14? Just slip on these cute red and white heart printed socks.
Essie Polishes – $9.95 each @ Salons + Drugstores
This Valentine’s Day, add a little colour to your fingertips that fits the season. From punchy reds to whisper soft pinks to dramatic bordeaux, Essie’s latest Valentine’s-tinted collection also includes a neat matte top coat called ‘Matte About You’, which gives any of your fave polishes a luxurious, velvet-esque finish. They can also be mixed and matched to create a statement nail look or worn as one across the board manicure.
Kate Aspen Love Beyond Measure Measuring Spoons – $3.69 @ Bed, Bath & Beyond
Pro tip – Bed, Bath & Beyond has this giant Kate Aspen lineup of heart-shaped goodies that are probably meant for wedding party favours, but really work just as well for other occasions. I mean, how adorable are these measuring spoons?
