Want to Indulge Your Special Someone? 5 Amazon Gifts That Are Great for Valentine's Day

For some people, Valentine's Day is nothing more than an overblown money-grab disguised as a holiday. But if you're someone who likes celebrating Valentine's Day, then you may be gearing up to purchase some gifts in the coming days.

If money is tight these days, or if you're still paying off a credit card balance from the holidays, then you may want to go light on your Valentine's Day spending. The good news is that Amazon has plenty of great gifts in stock that won't upend your finances or bust your budget. Here are a few to consider.

1. Hazel & Creme Chocolate Covered Pretzel Gift Box

Valentine's Day tends to be synonymous with sweet things. And the upside of giving the gift of food is that you don't have to find a long-term spot for it. So if your living quarters are cramped and you don't have much storage at home, a gift your partner can consume and be done with might be best.

These chocolate-covered pretzels certainly fit the bill. For $26.99, you'll get a 12-piece assortment with three flavor varieties. If you're lucky, your loved one might even be willing to share some with you.

2. MADDIFY's Spa Gift Basket Set

Not sure if your loved one would prefer bath bombs, soap, or candles? Why choose? This spa gift basket comes loaded with items designed to help your partner pamper themself. And right now, it's available for 29% off its regular price, bringing your total to $19.98.

3. greenoak Electric Heated Blanket

A heated blanket may not exactly scream romance. But it's a thoughtful, practical gift for the special someone in your life who's always cold. This 62 inch by 84 inch blanket is big enough to fit a twin-size bed, but it can also double as an oversized throw for the couch. Right now, it's available for $39.99, which is 20% off its regular price.

4. KOPHINYE Fox Plush with Rose

Who says your special someone for Valentine's Day has to be an adult? It's not uncommon for parents to give their kids a special gift on Valentine's Day. And this plush fox is downright adorable. It comes with a cute plush rose and is available now for $9.99. For that price, you could of course buy your kids candy instead. But if you'd rather go a less-sugary route, this option works nicely.

5. It's a Date!, 40 Fun and Romantic Scratch Off Date Ideas

You could buy your partner jewelry or flowers for Valentine's Day. But if you and your partner are the type of people who value experiences more so than things, then this box of date idea cards may be a much more appreciated gift. For $16.95, you'll get 40 different outings you can explore. It's a gift that's apt to keep on giving throughout the year. And, let's face it -- if you and your partner are trying to save up for a big goal, you're better off keeping your Valentine's Day spending to a minimum.

As you can see, you can pull off a fun Valentine's Day gift even if you don't have a ton of money to spend on one. But don't wait to do your Amazon shopping. February could bring about weather-related delays on the shipping front, and you don't want your gift to be late. Shop sooner rather than later so you don't accidentally leave your special someone disappointed.
