I used to be a bit bah humbug about Valentine’s Day, but I figure with so much hate in the world, why not go towards love? However, that still doesn’t mean I actually plan to plan for the day. Right off the heels of the holidays, I am still rather last-minute when it comes to gift buying. With just a little over 2 weeks left, you might think roses, a Russell Stovers Chocolate assortment or something silly and cheesy on Amazon are all that’s left for you, but you’d be wrong. I have found some of the best Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day gifts that will arrive on time.

Delicious. It’s also a natural healthy fragrance free of harsh chemicals.
