Here’s Why You Should Consider Buying Yourself A Gift This Valentine’s Day—No, Seriously!
Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) is quickly approaching, and now that you have your gifts for that very special someone in your life, there is one person that you may have forgotten—you!
According to fashion and shopping expert Pilar Scratch, this is the year to treat yourself to a luxe gift because self-love should always be a priority.
“Valentine's Day is a great way to show yourself some high-quality love,” she tells BET Lifestyle. “I believe treating yourself on Valentine's Day is like a warm embrace and sets the tone of loving yourself first and foremost.”
“Valentine's Day is a great way to show yourself some high-quality love.”
So, what should you “gift” yourself? According to Scratch, whatever you do, make it something special, whether it's an experience or an item currently on your shopping wishlist.
“Consider treating yourself to a spa treatment, then dress up in your finest threads and have dinner with a friend (or not) at a top-tier restaurant like the Brooklyn Chop House,” she suggests. “You’ll love it!”
FYI: February 13 is also known as "Self-Love Day," so you don't have to feel bad about spoiling yourself a day early (if that's what your heart desires).
