I will split this guide into three parts. Feel free to skip over any parts and jump over to the section you resonate with the most. Who knows? You may even resonate with more than one section.
Part 1 - Top 5 Picks: Self-Gifting Part 2 - Top 5 Picks: Gifting to Others Part 3 - Top 5 Picks: I Don't Care About Valentine's Day

Part 1 - Top 5 Picks: Self-Gifting Who says Valentine's Day should only be celebrated with a special someone? You can definitely celebrate Valentine's Day solo. The 14th of February can be a "You Day." So why not gift yourself something special to remind yourself that you are unique and amazing just the way you are and to never change who you are? Always be your true authentic self because the real you will attract the right group of friends and opportunities into your life and you'll be so much happier and healthier. Here are my top 5 picks for 2023 on finding gifts for yourself on Valentine's Day. Number 5 - Defend Yourself This green hardcover book with an Orange Grundo on the front cover is an excellent gift to get yourself. This item was released on May 11, 2004. The description for this item is: "Great tips for survival when the enemy attacks!" To me, this gift symbolizes the hardships in life. Everyone goes through ups and downs. Whatever you do and wherever you go, the paths you take, and the choices you make do not define who you are as an individual. When life throws rocks at you, you can pick up those rocks and build your own life. You are in control of you and no one has the power to take that away from you unless you allow them to. This book will remind you that your existence is a blessing and we are only a small part of this one big world, so in order to stand out, you cannot give up on your dreams or allow adversities--- the enemy to prevent you from living a happy, successful life full of meaning and purpose. Number 4 - Selfishness (TCG) This trading card is part of the Hannah and the Ice Caves set. This lightweight item was released on October 22, 2004. You can put it in your TCG album or you can put it in your pocket to take with you wherever you go. The name of this item says it all. February 14 is your day! This is your "You Day" and it's perfectly okay to be selfish and treat yourself on this day. Don't be afraid to pamper yourself and say no to others. This gift is all about focusing on yourself. You work hard and you're tired. Use this day to de-stress, unwind, and spend quality time by yourself. You learn more about yourself when you get to be by yourself. It's a great opportunity to self-reflect to see how far you've grown as an individual. Number 3 - Tender Care Boxes These 4 organizer boxes in the colours: baby blue, sky blue, pink, and lavender were released on August 28, 2019. These pretty little boxes will hold everything you need and what a great way to treat yourself by decluttering and staying organized! These boxes will hold your belongings or you could use them to clear your space. Being surrounded by clutter can stress anyone out and it could also fog your perception or thinking. Clutter is a form of distraction to me. You'll feel so much lighter putting away things you don't need to use right now and you can always go back and take them out of the boxes when you need them. This set of boxes will reduce your stress and clear your space. You'll definitely find yourself thinking more clearly and being more productive! Number 2 - Meals in Season This book which was released on November 20, 2012, holds recipes for the perfect meals to match each season. Food is a necessity. We need food to survive. However, food shouldn't be looked at as something only for survival, it can also be looked at as an act of self-care. What better way to celebrate your "You Day" than to cook yourself something delicious to eat? Time and effort are sacrificed in meal planning, prepping, and cooking. All the time and effort you put into cooking yourself a delicious meal shows that you put aside time to treat yourself and that you are worth your time. This should not be looked at as a chore. I look at this as an opportunity to treat yourself. Number 1 - Covered in Sticky Notes It says that this item is for the forgetful one, but not necessarily. This item was released on July 1, 2016. You can use these sticky notes to not only write down things as a reminder, but you can also write little notes to yourself about yourself. Since this day is all about you, it's important to show self-compassion and be kind to yourself. Maybe write what you like about yourself on one sticky note and stick it on the wall. How about writing down your dreams and what you hope to accomplish? What you have already accomplished? You can also write down any happy thoughts. More importantly, write the following messages down on those sticky notes: "I am awesome." "I am unique." "I am beautiful inside and out." "I am okay no matter what life throws at me." "I am loved." "I am important." "I am worthy." "My potential is endless and I am capable." Write these messages down and look yourself in the mirror while reading these sticky note messages no matter how silly this may feel because all of this is true and you should feel this way about yourself.

Part 2 - Top 5 Picks: Gifting to Others If you're unsure of what to give to others on Valentine's Day and would like to know what's trending this year, this section is for you! These 5 picks are based on the personality of that special someone or a group of people or pets you have in mind.
Let's begin! Number 5 - Friendship Bracelets You can never go wrong with jewelry! This pair of Friendship Bracelets was released on November 15, 2019 and was awarded during the 20th Birthday Neopets Through the ages event. If you don't already have this set of bracelets, this set is a great gift for you and that special friend. These uniquely designed Friendship Bracelets consist of three rows each of beautifully crafty and thoroughly polished beads. Each row of beads is aligned in a specific color. Row one is made up of tangerine-coloured beads. Row two is made up of brown-coloured beads adorned with a large pearl at the center of that row. Lastly, the third row consists of green jade beads as the finishing touch. This could be the perfect gift to get especially for any jewelry lovers out there. The Friendship Bracelets are also an excellent gift idea since you and that special someone will each get a gift because the Friendship Bracelets come in two--- one for you and one for whoever you want to give the extra bracelet to. Wherever you go and wherever you are, even if you can't see that special one, you and that person will always be friends because these Friendship Bracelets symbolize that bond you share with them. Number 4 - Friends Forever Have a friend who prefers peace and quiet? Or someone who likes having time to themselves or enjoys reading as a hobby? This book may be the gift to get for them. The Friends Forever book was released on March 5, 2011. Since they enjoy reading, there is no better way to show them how much their friendship means to you than by giving them Friends Forever. This book will truly show how much you value their friendship and that you want to remain friends forever just like the title of this book. Number 3 - 2 Scoops of Friendship The 2 Scoops of Friendship were released on February 14, 2015. For any foodies out there or just anyone who likes ice cream, this gift isn't a bad idea! Not only is it adorable and aesthetically pleasing to look at, but it's also delicious to eat. Your friend will definitely love this especially if they like ice cream or are a foodie and open to trying different foods. These two scoops were made to be friends forever just like you and that special someone and you can show them that by giving them the 2 Scoops of Friendship. Number 2 - Cloud Boat Now, this is something you don't see often! The Cloud Boat was released on November 26, 2015, and this beautiful boat is perfect for sailing in the skies. Yes, you heard correctly that this boat is perfect for sailing in the skies. This boat is designed with pastel colours of green, blue, and purple with white cloud details. A perfect gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or is up for an adventure. This gift guarantees that nobody will get seasick. This boat will allow you and that special someone to not only enjoy the beautiful view as the two of you sail through the skies, but it'll also allow you two to bond. Number 1 - Fancy Petpet Food This item was first introduced in Neopia on October 21, 2005. You may be thinking what kind of gift is this and why would I gift my special someone this? This is for anyone who would like to gift their Petpets something nice. You can never go wrong with food! Food is a necessity and is needed for survival. By gifting this to your Petpet, you are showing that you love them and that you want them to stay well and healthy so that you can have them as a companion for as long as possible. You can also gift this to your Neopet, but I would purchase a bunch of these if this is for your Neopet since the food portion is small and is intended for Petpets. This thoughtful gift can be for Neopets and Petpets and if you have both types of pets, you can buy these for all of them to enjoy! Fine food for fine Petpet and Neopets and they'll definitely feel fancy and spoiled after indulging in all this.

Part 3 - Top 5 Picks: I Don't Care About Valentine's Day This section is for anyone who doesn't care about Valentine's Day. The top 5 picks will be based on various reasons for this section. Let's cut to the chase and begin! Number 5 - Ripped Valentines Chia Plushie The Ripped Valentines Chia Plushie was released on June 25, 2003. The once adorable, happy-looking Valentines Chia Plushie is now the complete opposite. This plushie has been torn apart and the stuffing is coming out. If you're a plushie collector and not a fan of Valentine's Day because being all lovey-dovey is weird to you, this may be a cool way of expressing how you feel about the 14th of February and could be a good addition to your plushie collection for any plushie collectors out there! Number 4 - Forgotten Valentine Sword The Forgotten Valentine Sword was released on January 13, 2014. This sword is for anyone who doesn't feel like celebrating Valentine's Day just yet and is hoping for that unknown special someone to find them in the future. When the right special someone appears in your life, bring them to this Forgotten Valentine Sword and have them try to pull this sword out of that giant rock. Only your true love may pull it free and this Forgotten Valentine Sword is a way for you to find out! Number 3 - Valentines Muffin Even though this muffin is intended for Valentine's Day, you can still buy this for yourself and not care about Valentine's Day since you are craving muffins on February 14 and this muffin with the Valentine's Day design was the only one available in shops, so you didn't have a choice but to buy it anyway. The Valentines Muffin was first introduced in Neopia on February 7, 2002, and it comes back to take over bakeries every year on February 14th. There are no non-Valentine muffins available in bakeries on Valentine's Day. Anyone who doesn't care about this day and is craving muffins would have no choice but to buy this anyway. Number 2 - A Heartfelt Valentines Day Card This card was released on January 30, 2010. Why did this card make it onto the top 5 picks for 2023 for anyone who doesn't care about Valentine's Day? Good question! For anyone who needs to send a thank you card out to someone and couldn't find any thank you cards in stock, A Heartfelt Valentines Day Card is the only card available in shops and they have no choice but to buy it anyway. If you're one of these people, don't forget to change what the card says. This pretty card is covered with hearts and has a sweet message inside, and if you're sending a thank you card out... make sure you revise the original messages and add your own touch of gratitude to it! If you forget to revise the message on the card, the recipient of the card will get the wrong message and things could end in chaos for you. Number 1 - Peaches and Cream Slushie The Peaches and Cream Slushie was released on April 7, 2016. This slushie has nothing to do with Valentine's Day. This could be something to get for yourself if you see Valentine's Day as just any other ordinary day. The reason why this slushie made it onto the top 5 picks would be that it's one of the fast-selling items in Neopia this year. Neopians and Neopets can't get enough of it. If you haven't tried this delicious slushie out yet, why not today? You'll be in for a treat and know why everyone's been raving about the Peaches and Cream Slushie because what more could you want in a slushie? It's delicious! You have to try it!
