Life
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.

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

Heart-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!

Wine Is My Valentine XL Novelty Glass
Wine Is My Valentine XL Novelty Glass, $27.49, Target
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).
