Just because you're single doesn't mean that you don't deserve a gift this Valentine's Day. No one can love you if you don't love yourself so get in the holiday spirit by treating yourself to something you deserve. Forget about flowers and don't bother with those box of chocolates (JUST KIDDING! Totally get the chocolates!) and instead, buy yourself a Valentine's Day gift that you really want.

A Spa Treatment

You deserve to be pampered don't you think?! A spa treatment is the ultimate way to relax and rejuvenate; truly treating yourself for all of your hard work. Sure, a massage or facial would be superb but don't forget about all of the other interesting options too. Some acupuncture, Reiki, or aromatherapy can be just as soothing.

An Experience

The world is leaning towards more experiential happenings over material items these days. Instead of buying yourself a new purse or killer shoes, invest your money in an experience. Book on to a food tour around your city, a hot air balloon ride or a skiing lesson. Check out sites like Groupon to see what kind of experiences are out there.

A Top Notch Dinner

A fancy dinner is never overrated because it's like purchasing a material item and an experience all in one. You deserve a top notch meal, so go on out there and get it yourself this year. Indulge in every course and don't forget to pair the meal with a cocktail. Dress up for it too; why not?!

The Perfect Mattress

Sleep can be your best friend and your bed is where you spend a HUGE chunk of your time each day. Invest in the perfect mattress for the way you sleep and enjoy a nighttime experience fit for royalty. You'll wake up extra refreshed and ready to take on all of your goals each day too.

A Self Investment

Investing in yourself is always the best kind of investment. Whether it's in your physical fitness or learning a new skill, give yourself the gift of self-investment. Search online to find classes that will teach you a rewarding new hobby or a skill that you can use to make money. Buy books that can help you educate yourself or a new tool that will help you pursue a business idea or lifestyle change.

A Trip

Give yourself the gift of a getaway and take a trip somewhere that you've always wanted to go. It could be a weekend trip somewhere nearby or an international adventure to check out Paris or Rome; any place that you've always wanted to experience.

An Expensive Bottle of Wine

Because, well, why not? There aren't many people who get to really indulge in the luxury of fine wine. Giving yourself the gift of a quality bottle is something that you may remember for the rest of your life. It's expensive for a reason so let yourself in on the secret just this once. You deserve it!

An Awesome Kitchen Appliance

Life can be made much easier by the way you arrange your kitchen. Invest in that fancy knife set or finally buy yourself a juicer. Whatever will make cooking more fun and allow you to be creative and healthy, add it to your cabinets. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

What gift will YOU give yourself this Valentine's Day?
