14 Valentine's Day Gifts Under $14 and $28

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! This holiday isn't just about the lovey dovey couples - it's also important to recognize friends and family around you that you love and appreciate! We thought we would create a gift guide to give some affordable ideas of fun gifts.

Under $14:

Tiered Necklaces
Our newest accessory obsession - tiered necklaces - are all super trendy and super affordable. Available in a wide variety of of styles in both silver and gold finishes, these are sure to make any girl feel special.




Chicago Flag Necklaces
Chicago flag necklaces have been a longstanding favorite for our customers. These dainty necklaces are a perfect gift to give to any Chicago lover.


Lilly Pulitzer Notebooks
New year, new you! Okay, so it's already almost halfway through February but better late than never! These notebooks are perfect for on the go and are a great gift for any girl to keep her thoughts organized.


Knit Scarves
Scarves are always an ideal gift for any occasion during the winter. These are two of our favorites, but we have so many colors and styles to fit the likes of whomever you are gifting it to.




Lightweight Scarves
Just like knit scarves, lightweight scarves are also a perfect gift. We just got in a huge shipment of various styles perfect for the transition from winter to spring. 




Wrap Bracelet
We have so many popular necklace styles that we often forget to give recognition to our adorable bracelets! Our wrap bracelets are a comfortable accessory that go with any outfit! They look good alone or paired with other bracelets as well.


Bangles
Just like our wrap bracelets, we also don't give enough recognition to our bangles! These are perfect for layering with other pieces or wearing just one. Layer one with a wrap bracelet for some cute arm candy. 


Under $28:

Lilly Pulitzer Phone Chargers
It's no secret we are a little obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer. Give a trendy tech-loving girl a special surprise with these super cute floral printed iPhone chargers!


Bags
Who can not love a super girly bag? We just got in plenty of adorable purses that are sure to make any girls day.


Canvases
Have we mentioned anything ever about these handmade canvases? These are such cute decor it's hard to just pick up one for someone else!


Statement Necklaces
Jewelry is always a good idea for any gift. Just like any of the other options we mentioned, statement necklaces are loved by all. It just depends what the recipient prefers - more dainty or more chunky necklaces.




Greek Mugs and Tumblers
Why not give the gift of Greek love? We have tons of sorority merchandise but we especially love our new mugs and tumblers. These are something that girls use everyday and if given the change to rep their chapter, they will!



Wallets
Just like bags, wallets are a great gift. Some girls like to match their purse to their outfit and some like to match their wallet to their purse! Give them the gift of variety so that they have options depending on their mood or what they are wearing. We know we do this!

 
Piko Tunics
Our newest shipment was loaded with different colors of our favorite item ever - Pikos! This time they came in a tunic style and we couldn't be more thrilled. These are the perfect item to layer in the cold weather and transition into the warmer months. Right now we are pairing them under kimonos or cardigans, over leggings, but we can't wait to wear them as dresses once the weather permits!
