When you’re single, Valentine’s Day is usually not a day you look forward to. While you typically save a lot more money compared to your coupled friends, you are forced to watch the mushy display of gift-giving and lovey-dovyness that surrounds February 14th. Just because you don’t have someone to share Valentine’s Day with doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy it yourself! Here are some great gift and app ideas for all the lone soldiers on Valentine’s Day.

Siri

Alright, Siri is more of a feature than a standalone app, but she is nonetheless useful on Valentine’s Day! The world’s favorite voice assistant makes a suitable digital Valentine. You don’t have to buy her anything or take her to dinner and she’ll love you regardless.
