I've always loved Valentine's Day, even when I was a little kid and hadn't experienced romance or the dating scene. Because, to me, Valentine's Day is not necessarily a day about romantic love and relationships. It's not a day exclusively for couples to celebrate, while single people sit out on the sidelines. It's really a day celebrating love of all kinds: self-love, friendship, etc. It's a day to treat yourself and others!
With all that being said, I present to you: the best ways in which to treat anyone you love on Valentine's Day. below is my Style and Purpose Valentine's Day gift list.

Chocolate!
Let's start with the GOOD stuff. Valentine's is the only day of the year, besides Halloween, where chocolate constitutes a necessary food group. I won't even bat an eyelash or judge you if you choose to eat chocolate for breakfast on Valentine's Day (because I probably will too). I bet the chocolate industry just explodes this time of year. As it should, though. Because chocolate is awesome. So, anywho, below are some great ways to gift chocolate on VDay...
Valentine’s Day Vegan Chocolate Box by Coracao Confections
Raw chocolate (so it's technically better for you...maybe!), soy free and gluten free. This baby's the whole packaged deal.

Hazelnut Spread & Chocolate Truffle Set by Manifest Chocolates
Raw, vegan, soy free. Like Nutella, but healthier! These truffles come with a chocolate hazelnut spread that I could probably eat in one sitting. No joke.

Shiny, Sentimental Things
Valentine's is usually all about gifting those simple, more sentimental pieces. You know, the sweet pieces that feature customized birth stones, heart lockets, initials and so forth. If you want flashy jewelry or statement pieces, pick another holiday! Valentine's is about keeping it simple and personalized. In my humble opinion, at least. Here are some of my ideas below...

All Over Body Set by Jack Black (no, not the actor).
