If you’re always stumped for gift ideas as Valentine’s Day approaches (you did just exhaust all your best ideas over the holidays after all), Amazon has a cool feature for you.
Its gift finder allows you to search for the perfect present by gender, age (kids like sweet treats too) and interests. Got a man who loves to bartend? A hard-to-please teen? The fashionista in your life? Amazon’s got you covered.
