Valentine’s Day grams for your special someone — or not

Love — and friendship — is in the air this Valentine’s Day season
Valentines+Day+grams+for+your+special+someone+--+or+not

With Valentine’s day approaching quickly, the student store is crowded with students buying Valentine’s Grams for people they know — and those they’d like to get to know more. Ranging from $3-7, these grams are a simple but cute way to tell someone you were thinking of them.

For as little as $3 you are offered a rose and a card. For $5, you are offered candy, a card and a stuffed animal, and for $7 you are offered a rose, a card, candy and a stuffed animal. These easy but effective grams are a great affordable way to remind people of the special holiday, without the fear they won’t like it.

These grams aren’t just meant to be sent between couples, but they can be sent to friends, teammates or whoever you want. 

Out of 25 students polled, nine bought them for their partner, 11 bought them for their friends, and five bought them for a teammate, proving that there doesn’t just have to be romance in the air.  Simple, easy and cheap is a great option for a high school student attempting to make the day special for someone else. 

With these Valentine’s grams accessible online and in-store — and the holiday around the corner — time is running out to get them while you can. Put together by TOHS ASB, these grams are filled with thought and meaning by those who made them and those who sent them. If you don’t know what to do yet for someone on Valentine’s Day, then these grams could be the choice for you.
