Subscription Boxes
Digital subscriptions are the perfect instant gift. Whether it’s an audiobook service, meal kits, or a streaming platform, these gifts keep on giving and can be activated right away.
Sweet Treats
Visit your local bakery for a box of beautifully decorated cupcakes, cookies, or a decadent dessert. Add a personal note to make the gift feel more heartfelt.

Think along the lines of “One Home-Cooked Dinner,” “Movie Night of Your Choice,” or “Weekend Chore-Free Pass.” It’s quick, easy, and incredibly thoughtful! There are tons of Love Coupons on Etsy. All you need to do is find your favorite design, purchase it, download the love coupons, and cut them out. Here is a link to the Love Coupons I made on Etsy. These are naughty and nice, so some are not for kids. https://funprintablesbymel.etsy.com/listing/1401035825/printable-love-coupons-love-coupons-for
Remember, the thought and effort you put into these gifts is what truly matters. Even at the last minute, you can make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
