    33 Valentine's Day Gifts That Are Both Amazing *And* Under $25

    Because you love them, but you also love not having to spend your entire paycheck on 'em.

    1. The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook so they can achieve the magical taste of Disney right from their very own kitchen — no ticket necessary. Featuring over 100 Disney-inspired recipes, including the famous and delightful DOLE WHIP, this provides insider park info that'll keep them inspired for hours. Boy, my mouth is watering just thinking about those Mickey beignets...

    2. A super neat set of DIY scratch-a-sketch cards that are fantastic to conceal a secret lil message for the one you admire. Pair it with a penny and a personalized note for a really cute yet unique approach, perfect for when you just wanna keep it short, ~but sappy~.

    3. A Bodum pour-over coffee maker for a freshly made brew every time. Absolutely perfect to leave any coffee connoisseur heart-eyed, since this stylish, heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe features a permanent stainless steel filter that releases the beans' aromatic flavors instead of absorbing them.

    4. Reusable glowing chopsticks that'll be an absolute force paired with their other love — weeknight sushi. The moment they put these to use? They may never pick up a knife and fork ever again.

    5. A totally unique cubic zirconia ring I think you should cart immediately, because if you're not sat aghast looking like the mind-blown emoji right now, I sure as heck am. This clever thing looks like a stunning piece of jewelry, but surprise! It also acts like a fidget spinner for anyone who can't seem to keep their hands still while sitting through Monday morning meetings.

    6. A multi-use skin salve any Glossier stan will get giddy over. This baby hydrates lips and other dry areas (we see you chapped cuticles and pointy 'bows) so they can kiss goodbye 💋 to chapped wintry skin and say hello to pillowy-soft smooches from now 'til the end of time!

    Oh, and just in case you needed further convincing, BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga cannot get enough of these. Here's what she has to say: "When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand, I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their 'OMG You're Engaged' candle in a boutique near by NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options, but the classics are unbeatable as well. Don't even get me STARTED on the holiday scents. Honestly, If you couldn't already tell, I just really freakin' love these candles!"
