For Valentines Day, it’s easy to give a card and candy. It”s simple, expected, but can be sort of boring. If you’d like to go the extra mile for your special lady but have a nearly empty wallet, we’ve created this Valentine’s gift guide just for you. Show your new girlfriend, wife, mom or daughter that she means so much to you that you can’t just go the ordinary route.
Each of our selections cost $5 or less plus shipping. They are from a variety of retailers that we’ve personally purchased from repeatedly. Remember, its the thought behind the gift that will make it memorable, so if something just doesn’t seem to suit your Valentine, move on to the next item.
Family Figurines $2.95
LTD’s Family Figurines are created to look like the popular Willow Tree line with its carved wood style ceramic and focus on the love of a family. However these are only 2.95 plus shipping while similar style authentic Willow Tree figurines are upwards of $20.00.
There are several styles for both moms and non-mom valentines. We suggest “Love Figurine” for sweethearts & non moms, “New Family Figurine” for new moms, and “Mother and Daughter Figurine” or “Mother and Child Figurine” for wives, depending on the amount and gender of your children. If you have an only son, we suggest the “New Family Figurine” as well, even if he’s grown up. It will remind her of that beautiful new baby time, even if it was long ago.
