Valentine’s Day is later this week.  Do you have last minute shopping to do?  We have some gift ideas that’ll say “I love you” to both your Valentine and to your wallet.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Him

Start his day off right with an Americano or slice of Pumpkin Bread.  Give him the gift of a Starbucks discount gift card and you’ll get a value worth 11% more on the card for free.  You could even load it to his Starbucks mobile app so he can wave to pay on his way to work or out of town.

Or you could delight his hunting and fishing season by giving him a Cabela’s discount gift card.  The gift card will be worth 10% more than what you pay if you buy it from Plastic Jungle.

If he’s be hinting at wanting the next season of his favorite TV show or an accessory for his iPad, giving him a Best Buy discount gift card would be a thoughtful gift.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Her

Soft slippers, pajamas, lotions, bedroom-wear, you can take your choice of how you want to spoil your sweetie this Valentine’s Day.  Buy a Victoria’s Secret discount gift card to pick something up for her for less or to give her a pre-loaded Victoris’a Secret gift card so she can pick out what she wants and knows you’ll love.

Give her the gift of a shopping spree with a budget.  Choose from her favorite stores like…

New York & Company.  You’ll get 13% MORE on your New York & Company gift card if you buy it at Plastic Jungle.

Nordstrom.  Nordstrom gift cards from Plastic Jungle come loaded with 5% more to spend than what you’ll pay.

Saks Fifth Avenue.  She’ll have 8% more to spend when she uses the Saks Fifth Avenue discount gift card you’re giving her for Valentine’s Day!

Morning.  Afternoon.  Light hours.  A Starbucks pick-me-up is a great way to get a second wind of energy.  But, if you’re like me, sometimes the idea of indulging in a 460 calorie Starbucks snack (thank you, blueberry scone) can make me think twice about cruising through a Starbucks drive-thru.

Luckily, over the weekend, I was enlightened by a friend on the Starbucks menu items that are actually not so high in calories.

Consider getting your favorite drink in ‘skinny.’

Starbucks unveiled ‘skinny’ drinks back in 2010.  Simply put, asking for any beverage in ‘skinny’ means your drink will be made with nonfat milk, sugar-free syrup, and no whipped cream (as applicable).  Your tall white chocolate mocha goes from being 500 calories, to 350 calories when ordered in ‘skinny.’

How about tea, please?

In general, tea has less calories than coffee, especially when you don’t sweeten it.  To save on calories at Starbucks, try a grande sweetened iced green tea (a mere 80 calories), a venti Tazo black shaken iced tea lemonade – sweetened (a nice 190 calories), or a Tazo green tea iced (for zero calories).

Order your lighter Starbuck drinks for less with discount Starbucks gift cards.  For every $25 gift card you order, you can use the savings to order a healthy beverage for free.
