Valentine's Day this year, although different, is still an opportunity for joy that can carry us through as the pandemic carries on. Any celebration—big or small—has the power to cheer us up as we impatiently wait to gather with our loved ones (without mask). I've never thought of this holiday as a moment to be shared with just my significant other, even though I take my Valentine's Day date pretty seriously. Instead, I see it as a reminder to celebrate everyone I love, with a phone call, a heartfelt email or a meaningful gift.
If like me, you have many Valentines this year (starting with yourself), you may be scratching your head for unconventional gift ideas. Ahead, I've given you some food for thought, so peruse this exciting list of romantic books, low-maintenance plants, self-care essentials, and so much more.
