Show Yourself Some Love This Valentine’s Day

For us single girls, Valentine’s Day can seriously suck. Even if you love being single, all the PDA (puke), listening to what your coupled friend’s boyfriend did or (more likely) didn’t buy them, and the concerned phone call from your mom checking up on you, gets real old, real fast. And, for the love of god, if one more coupled friend tells me I’ll “find someone soon,” I’m going to scream.

But you can make Valentine’s Day better. Why should you miss out on the gift-giving and indulgence V-Day has to offer just because you’re single? Yes it might just be another day of the year, but it’s also the perfect excuse to buy you yourself a fabulous gift.

Lingerie – Why do you need a guy in your life to buy something lacy?  Buy yourself something that makes you feel pretty and sexy, because feeling good about yourself trumps all.  This ruffle bralette from Aerie is feminine and flirty; the perfect gift from you to you.

Vibrators – It’s 2010, baby. You don’t need a boyfriend (or anyone, really) to have a good time.  These bullet buddies, available at Babeland, are a discrete, non-threatening first-time toy for any girl.  And if you’re looking for something a little more…er… well endowed, Babeland has a large selection of toys for everyone.

Indulgent Fashion Item – Which would you rather have on Valentine’s Day: boyfriend drama or a fabulous and functional L.A.M.B. wristlet?  Your attached friends will most definitely be laying out the cash for their S.O., so it’s time you splurge on the number one in your life: you.

Hot Dress – The best way for any girl to feel better about herself is to look hot. The second best way is to look hot and hit the town. You can do both in this adorable, blue, ruffled mini-dress from Forever 21. I guarantee this will turn heads and, who knows, you may even score yourself a Valentine for 2011.

Jewels - I’m a true believer in buying jewelry for yourself.  There are many benefits: 1. You know you’ll wear it, and 3. It is timeless (if you bought it, it won’t forever be known as something “what’s his name” bought you).  So all the single ladies, don’t wait for a guy to put a ring on it; go and buy your own damn ring.
