love is in the air, after all

finding the perfect valentine’s day gift can be quite a challenge. the idea alone is pretty terrifying if we’re being honest – you want to be cute, not corny; thoughtful, not boring; and, most importantly, you want to surprise your loved one with something they won’t try to get a refund for… ouch.

if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably left it until the very last minute – eek! – and are now desperately scrambling for inspiration. well, look no further – we’ve listed out some awesome gift ideas below.
