Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Under $30

Valentine's Day is a day to acknowledge the ones in your life whom you love and cherish most dearly. Whether it's your parents, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend or friend, nothing says "I love you" or "I care about you" more than with a gift that came from deep within your heart. I've compiled a list of 10 affordable Valentine's Day Gifts that anyone would appreciate to receive.

1) When in doubt, buy chocolate. You truly cannot go wrong with chocolate and I haven't met a lot of people who dislike it. Boxes of chocolates are really classy and traditional for Valentine's Day, especially the ones that are shaped as hearts. You can buy these in a variety of places such as your local grocery store, Target store, Walmart, K-mart and Walgreens for under $10.

If you are looking to buy something more elegant and delectable for a little extra money, there are lots of high quality chocolate brands:

Ghirardelli is one of the most popular chocolate brands out on the market and you can buy it almost anywhere. Currently, they have a huge stock of chocolates just for the Valentine's Day holiday. The following is a list of places where you can buy Ghirardelli Chocolate. Visit this link (http://www.ghirardelli.com/products/seasonal_vday_stores.aspx) to discover more stores.

1. Target

2. Walgreens

3. Rite Aid

4. Kroger

5. BJ's

Godiva is a great chocolate company just like Ghirardelli. I, personally, think that Godiva goes the extra mile to make sure their chocolates are not only delicious but also pretty. Each kind of chocolates they make and sell are decorated in such a way that you don't even want to eat it and ruin the art! You can buy Godiva chocolates at a variety of different stores such as Target, Walgreens and Godiva's Website: http://www.godiva.com/godivaCollection/chocolate_guide.aspx. Godiva also has kiosks set up in many malls.

Chocolates are a great Valentine's Day gift for anyone that is special in your life.

2) Flowers. It might sound ordinary and cliché but flowers say a lot, especially red roses. You can buy flowers at flowers stores such as Kuhn Flowers or at any grocery store.
