Valentine's Day Guide: Last Minute Gift Ideas in Bensalem

Did you wait until the last minute to snag a Valentine's Day gift for your honey? Here are some suggestions.

Did the procrastinator inside of you make you wait until the last minute to snag a Valentine's Day gift for your honey? You're in luck! Bensalem Patch has a few affordable and quick ideas that you can pick up locally.

For Her

Table Purse Hook: Many restaurants and bars fail to have a spot for women to safely stow their purses, causing ladies to leave them on their laps, other chairs or the floor. The purse hook is an affordable and portable solution. They can latch on to most tables and ladies can hang their purses right next to them.
Who has it?: Susan's Hallmark Cards & Gifts, 2329 Neshaminy Blvd., Bensalem, $10.99; DSW, 2426 East Lincoln Hwy., Langhorne. $11.95

Essie Nail Polish & Manicure Kit: Essie nail polish is a little more expensive than most drugstore-bought brands. A few new colors paired with a manicure kit will make the perfect last minute gift.
Who has it?:  2435 Street Rd., $8 for polish, $7.99 and up for manicure kit.
