Meghan Markle is a self-proclaimed 'sucker' for Valentine's Day, and has a very specific idea of how to spend it - as she and husband Prince Harry are separated by the Invictus Games this year. Markle, 43, admitted her love for the holiday in an unearthed post from her now-defunct blog, The Tig, where she used to offer fashion advice, recipes, wellness tips and city guides to her readers. However, the blog by the former Suits actress has now been taken down, except for a few websites that have kept her posts alive in the archives, where her 2015 Valentine's Day Gift Guide still remains.

'Hook, line and sinker, I am such a sucker for Valentine's Day,' Markle wrote in a message at the beginning of the blog post. 'Without fail, every February 14th, I wake up feeling like I'm immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to be dipped into a kiss,' she continued. 'This is all happening in black and white, of course. And in Paris, if I had my way. But delusions of Francophile grandeur aside, Valentine's Day is special wherever you happen to find yourself,' she shared.

However, at the end of the day, the Archewell Foundation founder admitted that it's really just 'the thought that counts' every February 14. At the time, she was dating Canadian celebrity chef, Cory Vitiello.

'Without fail, every February 14th, I wake up feeling like I'm immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to be dipped into a kiss,' she continued. 'And in terms of gifts, be it breakfast in bed, a sweet love note, or a single flower (because we can't always get our hands on Taylor Tomassi Hill bouquets), it really is the thought that counts,' she wrote, before introducing her list of picks for gifts.

Markle's gift guide included three categories - presents for your girlfriend, boyfriend, or friend. In the 'girlfriend' category, she recommended a $168 perfume from Jo Malone, an intimates set by Heidi Klum, a decorative tray by Kate Spade and a luggage tag with a romantic saying on it. She also offered the idea of a 'printable love coupon,' which was number one on the list. 'At first glance, love coupons seem like the easy way out, but these coupons have some real thought and cheekiness to them, so we promise they'll make your other half giddy,' the American Riveria Orchard founder wrote.

And, on her list of gift ideas for who she called 'your handsome fella,' Markle suggested a pair of socks, LSTN Troubadours Headphones, or even a pro poker chip set with a case. The guide for boyfriends also included a homemade beer making kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop. 'Rather than sip some red wine this V-Day, have your beau make you his own craft IPA. #slurp,' her suggestion read.

But this Valentine's Day, it looks like Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, won't be able to spend the day together. Currently, Harry is wrapping up his time at The Invictus Games in Vancouver, which is an international sports competition for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women. Prince Harry, 40, founded the Invictus Games in 2014 after he visited the U.S. Warrior Games in 2013. However, the mother-of-two is still celebrating her love, as she shared an intimate, black-and-white picture of the two of them sharing a smooch on the lips to Instagram on Friday.
'Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families,' the caption read. 'Beyond proud of my husband and what he's created. My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you.'. For those looking to see more of Markle, her new cooking show, With Love, Meghan, will premiere on Netflix this March.
