Unique Valentine's Day gifts for him & her, all under $25

Thinking up original Valentine's Day gifts can be a challenge—especially when you've got a strict budget to stick to.

But even if diamonds, extravagant dinners or hundred-dollar lingerie are out of the question, fret not—it's often the smaller, super-thoughtful gifts that make the largest impact anyway.
Here are Valentine's Day gifts for both genders that are sure to delight—and that'll keep your wallet happy, too.
