Whether you were prepared or not, another Valentine’s Day is upon us. A day where single Pringles loop “God, when?” on repeat, while lovebirds splurge mercilessly. <a href="https://aura.ng/life-and-love/i-m-dating-5-men-this-valentine-s-and-they-all-think-they-re-the-only-one">February 14th </a>has almost evolved into a socioeconomic class of its own...with your relationship status subtly qualifying you to experience the day.

And yet, it’s really just meant to be a day to celebrate love. From platonic to romantic, <a href="https://aura.ng/life-and-love/what-people-secretly-do-before-valentine-s-day">Valentine’s Day</a> holds something special for everyone. This year, you don't have to feel left out for not having a partner. And even if you do have one, no law says you must go bankrupt.

Together, let's curate the perfect gifts for your lover, friends, and family.

The pressure attached to Vals is a myth. Stop overthinking it. Just <a href="https://aura.ng/life-and-love/can-you-afford-love-a-guide-to-dating-in-nigeria-s-economy">pay</a> closer attention to the details that matter to your people, and see the world of difference it'll make...even beyond the 14th of February.
