13 Valentine’s Day Items At Target That Are Too Cute Not To Buy

by Crystal Duan

Oh my god. Valentine's Day (or "Singles Awareness Day," potato, poh-tah-to) is coming up faster than you want to admit. How is it already February?

Thankfully, gift-giving is simpler than ever — hence, list of Valentine's Day items you can buy at Target that you never knew you needed. If you're looking for a last minute gift to anyone or even just an excuse to decorate, there's a quite extensive selection. Because even for those of us who have an S.O., I'm sure we also understand that our commitments are first to Target and its ah-mazing merchandise.

I already knew Target was quality, but they've really come in handy when push comes to shove and you aren't quite feeling the love — if you suffer from gift-giving anxiety, like me, Target has your back! Sometimes Target has had their displays up sometimes as early as the day after Christmas, and there is no shortage of interesting things that can bring you joy. Not to mention the joyous Feb. 15 candy sales (and discounted merchandise they didn't sell off!) that will leave all of us feeling collectively smug and satisfied, whether you're hitched or not.

But with the clock ticking down and decorations and gifts to buy, below is a curated list of items that are available now for you and all of your gift needs that you can buy online right here, right now.

1Valentine's Day Grumpy Cat Cards

32ct Valentine's Day Grumpy Cat Cards with Stickers, $2.50, Target

If you're all about tagging the bae in memes, this Grumpy Cat collection of cards is a nice contrast to how you actually feel about each other, but cute enough to be socially acceptable. Or if you're just trying to give some to your group of friends, this is the best way to get a laugh.

2"LOVE" Throw Pillow

"LOVE" Throw Pillow, $14.99, Target

This "LOVE" pillow might be a worthy substitute to hug it out when the nights get a little lonely — er, cold, I mean. Valentine's Day aside, this the chic, millennial pink kind of pillow that looks good all year round.

3Valentine's Day Bubble Sticks

16ct Valentine's Day Bubble Sticks, $3.00, Target

Why go on a romantic candlelit dinner date when you can run around blowing bubbles everywhere? These guys are perfect for the rare sunny day in the middle of a frozen winter — romance will literally be in the air.

4Heart-Shaped Artificial Wreath

Heart-Shaped Artificial Wreath Pink, $19.99, Target

Hang this on your door, in your living room, or your bedroom wall — but in any case, deck the halls with hearts of holly jolly love! This wreath is cheesy enough to hold a dash of irony, but it's also heartfelt enough if you just want your home to have a pop of color during an otherwise dreary winter season. So pick your reasoning, but either way, pick it up!

Ah, yes, the one Valentine that so many of us have in common — wine. Truth be told, though, this XL glass holds a whopping 25 ounces in it, which is the equivalent of five glasses of wine. Better to save this one as a party game for a Valentine's Day or Galentine's Day fete (or at the very least, for an Olive Pope reenactment photo shoot).
