Valentine's Day Gifts for Your Single Friends

By Heather Muir, Allure magazine

Single on V-Day-or have friends who are? You don't need a dude and dinner reservations to have a good time. I mean, really: Who cares about flowers when you can have…beauty products? Send these goodies to your solo girlfriends (or keep 'em for yourself!).

Something sparkly. No need to break the bank on major bling-just a little will do. Proof: A bottle of Chanel Nail Colour in Black Pearl, a murky, shimmery black-green, will perk up any girl's day. And unlike some jewelry you/we/every woman has received in the past, this sparkly find certainly won't need to returned.

Something relaxing. Dodge restaurant waiting lists and sold-out movies and head to the spa for a manicure/pedicure date (Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse for pampering).

Something funny. We wouldn't usually suggest something quite so cheesetastic, but we couldn't resist here: Meet Colin (above), the sexy firefighter, who adorns the top of this super-shiny, orange-red Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss. The best part: You can undress him with the flick of your wrist. Who needs a man?

Something quirky. Just in case you have a friend going through a breakup, cut up some tasty cheese and serve it on this: Raffaele Iannello The Ex Skewer Kit Set. Ok, no, it's not a beauty gift, but if you pair it with a bottle of wine and evil ex stories, you just might have the Best. Date. Night. Ever.
