1. DIY Cookie/Brownie/S’mores Mix in a Jar
A DIY mason jar mix is the cheapest, easiest way to impress someone on Valentine’s Day. No one will ever know this was a last minute Valentine’s Day gift because it’s so thoughtful!

2. Doughnuts from Dough
Dough makes the biggest and most gorgeous doughnuts around. This basically says, “I donut think I could love you even more than I do now.”
