How to Win Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away and if you’re in a relationship, there’s a certain expectation that attention must be paid. Your affection cannot, of course, be measured in dollars and cents. Then again, show up empty-handed and you'll undoubtedly find yourself in the doghouse. The struggle is real—have you been together long enough for jewelry? Not long enough? What we do know is that you don't have to go nuts on silly, frilly Cupid-themed crap. Step away from the oversized teddy bear, heart-shaped jewelry or boilerplate red roses. Think outside the box and pick up something the girl or guy in your life might actually like (and use).

A Better Bathroom
Is Closer Than You Think

If your bathroom has been quietly begging for an upgrade, now's the moment to listen. Lowe's is knocking up to 30% off select bathroom essentials—from sleek faucets to modern vanities to full sauna set-ups—through February 25. Even better: spend $999 or more on toilets, shower heads or fixtures, and you can score 0% interest financing for 18 months (as long as you pay it off in time). Translation: better water pressure, smarter storage and a bathroom that doesn't feel stuck in 2009, without torching your savings all at once. This is the rare home upgrade that actually feels like a deal.
