3 Singles' Survival Kits For The Best Anti-V-Day Ever
The ironic thing about Valentine's Day is that if you're not in a relationship, you actually don't feel any love. Not that there's anything wrong with total dating freedom (rawr), but, let's face it, this day can be a rough one. What do the singletons of the world get on this totally forced holiday other than like, nothing? Forget that. Anyone braving yet another Valentine's Day solo deserves something special, too. We designed three singles' survival kits for Valentine's Day, and they're packed with everything an unattached girl needs during this icky-sweet romantical time. Whether you're fired up to get your act together, ready to forget the past, or just craving an indulgent evening, we've got you covered. Take our advice to heart, and you'll do more than just survive D-Day V-Day, you'll love it.

ForgetThePast

1. A new diary. Starting fresh with clean, white pages will make you less tempted to go back over stuff you'd probably rather forget anyway. Kate's Paperie Embossed Journal, $19.50, available at Kate's Paperie.

2. Absynth. While the myth of the green fairy might not be real, the erm...spirit of this liqueur certainly is. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne, $63.99, available at BevMo.

3. Anti Drunk Texting App. Just in case you have a little too much fun with essential #2, this guy will be your virtual best friend. Drunk Text Savior, $.99, available at The App Store.

4. Drive on DVD. When all else fails, it never hurts to distract yourself with a movie. Especially a Ryan Gosling movie. Amiright? Drive, $14.99, available at Amazon.

5. Lighter. In case you have any mementoes that need disposing of (in a proper, fire-safe receptacle, of course). In God We Trust Zippo Brass Lighter, $40, available at In God We Trust.
