2. Concert tickets

Go watch your imaginary celebrity boyfriend live.

A concert can be one of the most magical experiences, especially when you’re a fan of the artist. Book some tickets, book the flights, and await the day.

3. An expensive candle

We’ve all been there before – you go to the supermarket, pass by the candle section, and end up sniffing all the Yankee candles, just to find out that the biggest one costs almost €30…

Take this Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to splurge on a good and expensive candle.

4. Therapy

You probably need this if you’ve just gotten broken up with, and would definitely be a wise self-gift.

However, therapy can benefit everyone, and you will never regret spending money on it.

5. Just like, a cake

Buy a huge cake, or make one, and celebrate your solo Valentine’s. Eat it all by yourself – whether it’s chocolate, carrot, or red velvet, cake will never disappoint.

6. Stock up on beauty products

Have a shopping spree and buy all your skincare products, makeup, and hair products.

Not only will you be getting the temporary happiness from retail therapy, but you can take some pride in knowing you spent the money on hygiene.

7. A day off work

Book leave and spend the day taking care of yourself.

Order some of your favourite take-out food, put on a classic Rom-Com, and cry about your non-existent love life.

8. A tattoo

Have you been thinking about getting your first or next tattoo?

Now’s the time… trick yourself and say you spent the money for Valentine’s Day. It’s also a life-long gift, which will stay with you forever.

9. Take an online course

If you are currently focused on your career, and have no time for relationships, then this gift is perfect.

Give yourself the gift of a new skill, and a better career – become a total girl boss.

10. Your favourite flowers

No need to worry about your boyfriend getting you flowers you don’t really like – buy yourself your own flowers, and order your favourite kind, ”from me to me”.

11. Go round the house and see what needs fixing

You always tell yourself you’re going to fix that door knob, and change that lightbulb, but two years later, and you still haven’t done any.

Take this time to fix and replace damaged or worn out items and appliances in your house.

12. Books

You can never waste money on books – go to your local bookshop, and stay walking around the aisles picking up books that interest you. Put on your headphones, and you’re suddenly the main character of a movie.

13. Plan a Galentine’s

Nothing’s better than a fun night-out with friends, so text your closest gal-pals, and invite them on a night-out.

Grab a few drinks, or go to a fancy restaurant, and gossip the night away.

14. Love yourself

Queue the vomiting emojis.

As cliché as it sounds, self-love will not only show others how to love you, but will show you how to love others. When we love ourselves, we are in better shape to help others.

What will you be getting yourself for Valentine’s?
