Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to treat yourself to a little luxury (or two). Is there a fancy matcha latte mix you’ve been eyeing to upgrade your afternoon tea time?

If so, you’ve come to the right place: Consider this an excuse to treat yourself.

Here are 10 little indulgences that feel like big luxuries and put a smile on your face without breaking the bank.
