Valentine's Day Giveaway: Win a $150 American Express Gift Card

This giveaway is now closed.

While Valentine's Day is traditionally about boys and girls and their chocolates and their flowers, we prefer to be a little bit more expansive in how we conceptualize this day to celebrate love. Whether or not the traditional circumstances apply to you, we encourage you to think outside the box and embrace the love you have for all those awesome people in your life, whether it's a spouse or partner or child or parent or friend or pet or colleague. And of course, yourself!! If you think about it, it's pretty great that we have a special day set out of 365 to celebrate connecting with someone.

So, we have something special to celebrate you!!! We're giving away a $150 dollar American Express gift card this Valentine's Day!! Yes, one hundred and fifty bucks! That's like seven and a half posts worth of cash here at S/20! The gift card is generously supplied by AOL Shopping. So here's the details on how you can snag it for yourself.

The sweepstakes begins January 27th at 12:00AM PST and runs through 12:00AM PST on February 6th. To enter, fill out your name, email address, and a link to a Valentine's Day gift under $20 (and let us know who you'd gift it to!) in the form below. To get some ideas, check out the Valentine's Day gifts at AOL! Open only to legal residents of the United States 18 and older.

Here's my pick. Like flowers, but more permanent, with less effort, already in a gorgeous vase, and if I may say so, prettier. And $14.95! Who would I give it to? Well, I'm not eligible to enter the giveaway, so I'm not telling...
