There is no reason to fear a life of solitude or feel blue when Valentine's Day rolls back around for what feels like -- for some single souls -- another annual pummeling. After all, single is a perfectly reasonably relationship status (and even preferred by some). So if you're single on Valentine's Day this year, bid mourning adieu and instead celebrate your fabulous self. And hey, while you're celebrating freedom from relationship drama and enjoying ample time to do whatever you want to do (because nobody else can tell you to do otherwise), consider buying a little something for yourself.

If buying a Valentines gift for yourself doesn't appeal, at lease buy a little something for someone you care about. For example, a parent, sibling or even best friend will almost definitely appreciate the gesture.

One option, and a tasty option at that, are Valentines Day fruit baskets. A few fruit basket options exist, but you can't go wrong with an Edible Arrangements fruit basket come February 14. The lucky recipient of this treat will receive loads of pre-cut, fresh fruit arranged in a gorgeous, bouquet-like display. And while such a display is a pretty sight to behold, it's equally fun to gobble up. The recipient will be delighted with the myriad fruit (some chocolate covered) included. Also, because fruit is a healthy snack, your giftee can devour it all without that unnerving, nagging feeling of consuming too many calories.

Even without a date or a prospect in sight, singles can nurture the promise of hope in themselves by treating themselves to their favorite fruit indulgence with love baskets filled with beautifully sculpted pineapples, grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe, apples, cherries, bananas, oranges and honeydew melon. Top all of the healthy fare off with a dab of melted, gooey, semi-sweet chocolate or white chocolate. Of course, there is always the option of a nutty topping like coconut or crushed almonds. Both are available when you order Edible Arrangements gift baskets.

It goes without saying that anyone who's the recipient of their own gift won't have to worry about someone asking to share with them. See? There are definitely perks to being single on Valentine's Day.

Of course, we can't forget this familiar scenario on Valentine's Day: Being in a relationship, but buying a gift for a dear friend who happens to be single. Let Valentine's Day gift baskets come to the rescue, again! Choosing a healthy-meets-decadent treat -- such as an Edible Arrangements Valentines day fruit basket -- to celebrate or console the single Valentine on that special day will provide you with a special way to show appreciation and say thanks to your single friend. Giving him or her a gift will also make you become a part of the day. And all without throwing away a day -- or more -- worth of calories. The specially carved pineapple hearts with a side of chocolate is just the right dose of healthy decadence and romance for this holiday. Alternatively, go for the chocolate covered strawberries.

Also consider ordering an Edible Arrangements gift basket for a group of single friends. The basket will easily become the centerpiece of a celebration of choosing to live their lives on their own terms and for waiting for the right person to exceed their hopes for romance a happy relationship
