Saying I love you should come from the heart more than from the bank account. The best gifts of love don't have to cost a fortune to be memorable and meaningful. Opt for something you create personally if you can or go with one of the ideas shared here. From jewelry and fragrance to skin care and self care and beyond, I've curated some of what I think are the most meaningful and budget friendly choices for a very happy Valentine's Day.
Fine jewelry is a timeless tradition for Valentine's Day gifting but fine doesn't have to mean outrageously priced. Avon offers fine jewelry crafted with quality genuine .952 sterling and stainless steel that will provide a lifetime of special memories with proper care.
I personally love these pieces for their subtlety and simple elegance. Hearts, but not screaming Valentine's Day so they can be worn year round and just offer a subtle reminder of the gifting occasion. And of course a reminder with the love with which they were chosen and given for that special someone.

Jewelry makes a special and meaningful gift for the men on your Valentine's Day list, as well. Avon has been coming out with some really nice stainless steel pieces at very affordable prices like the ones shown above.

Also be sure to explore the clearance section on my online Avon shop for some nice pieces at even lower prices.

Go cozy. A pair of nice comfy PJs for cuddles sessions is a gift with a subtle hint. Not everything has to be super sultry and sexual Victoria's Secret. Who can actually sleep in that shit anyway. Avon had a cute women's sleep shirt with red or dark pink hearts I can't find as I'm writing this, so be sure to check out the fashion section at my online Avon shop. It changes and updates constantly. For guys, these are super cute.

You can't go wrong with a fragrance gift. Avon's iconic classic and new release men's and women's fragrances are so popular they recently outsold the top designers in sheer volume for an entire year. I can't remember the exact year but you should be able to DuckDuckGo it verify I'm not making that up. There are some great special as I'm writing this article but they change so often it's best just to check from time to time.
Check out men's fragrances or women's fragrances from Avon. I do love the one below which is new for women. I also recommend Wild Country for men available right now in the collectible retro boot decanter.

Pampering is a must for Valentine's Day and every day for the ones you love. Gifts of skincare and bath and body are divine ways of showing your love. Consider these or check out my online Avon shop for tons of other great ideas.
This is my personal favorite and I use this as body wash. The bottles are huge and a little goes a long way. It's a light and not overpowering scent that's not too floral or feminine to be unisex in my opinion. I even sent some to a straight male friend and he loved it. There are other options like a cucumber based fragrance that are even more unisex and some that are even more floral and feminine. There's even a relaxing lavender.
With the alluring fragrance of cherry blossoms accented by jasmine and sweet red fruit. The luxurious bubbles relax you from head to toe, leaving you cleansed and delicately scented. 24 fl. oz.
