I’m a certified softy and a sucker for sentimental gifts, but after the holidays, my time and budget for Valentine’s Day are limited at best. Every year, I tell myself I’ll plan ahead and invest in some gorg gifts for the people I love most (my girlfriend and my mom). And every year, February shows up unannounced, leaving me scrambling for last-minute gift cards and overpriced knick-knacks that hopefully don’t scream “I grabbed this at checkout.”

This year, I’ve unlocked the ultimate act of self-love: personalized photo gifts. They’re thoughtful, meaningful, and—most importantly—don’t require a ton of time or money. CVS Photo has tons of affordable, customizable options, plus same-day pickup (because let’s be honest, I’ll still wait until the last minute).
