The Budget Gift Guide for Valentine's Day: Under $25

Say what? I didn’t know you could even get a box of chocolates and roses with thorns for that price let alone a Valentine’s Day Gift that he or she would be proud to receive. But yes, we’ve hunted haystacks, browsed through department stores and come up with a short lists of gifts you can be proud of — even for el cheapo coin.

Here’s what we found.

FOR HER

Love Your Skin Valentine’s Day Gift Set from Liz Earle (okay, we lied, it’s $26.50)

Liz Earle Love Your Skin

You all know how obsessed I am with Liz Earle (her Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is my winter staple!). This terrific Valentine’s Day steal contains 1oz Orange Flower Body Wash, Nourishing Botanical Body Cream, Brightening Treatment with a muslin cloth, Eyebright, and Body Exfoliating Gloves. NOT. TO. BE. MISSED. It’s that simple and yours for a steal only until February 14th.
