Tomorrow is the big day!

If you forgot (not sure how) about Valentines day, I've compiled a list from various websites of a few last minute gifts and date ideas sure to woo over your significant other. Just make sure not to come home empty handed... Enjoy!!!





Try one of these stores for a quick gift:

  • At a Toy Store - Pick up Twister, the Milton-Bradley game that's fun for all ages. And even more fun for adults.
  • At Lowe's - Pick up an elegant dendrobium orchid, potted and ready for Valentine's Day giving.
  • At Walgreen's - Pick up massage oils and body chocolate (available in four flavors) in the Valentine’s Day aisle.
  • Grocery Store - make sure to pick up fresh flowers. Most grocery stores carry fresh flowers next to the product department. Hand delivered flowers always warm the heart.

Even if you select them at the last minute, gifts that bear a big red heart are sure to melt hers. Some ideas:

  • Heart-shaped locket
  • Heart-shaped picture frame, with a picture of the two of you
  • Heart-shaped, red-satin box of chocolates
  • Heart-shaped candies that say "I Love You"

Quick items to grab and go:

  • Stuffed animal from stationery store
  • Book of love poetry
  • Store-bought book of love IOU's
  • Heart-shaped cake or cupcakes from supermarket.

Romantic date idea:

  • a new take on dinner and a movie. Cook her a meal at home and pick up a romantic DVD.
  • Order take out and have a candlelit picnic at the lake
  • sometimes a spa trip can be expensive, purchase some spa treatments at Bath and Body works or the local drugstore and give each other your own spa treatment and massage.
  • Create your own drive in movie in your own garage complete with popcorn and a big soda to share.

Old Photos for new gifts:

  • load some of your favorite family photos or photos of the both of you together on a data stick and have various gifts made such as a mouse pad, coffee mug, or a calendar
  • Take a favorite photo of the two of you and place it in a frame for a special gift.

And above all else... make sure you let that special person know just how much you love them. Happy Valentine's Day!

We are going to have a romantic steak dinner and a movie after the rug rats go to bed, might even give him a little spa treatment. Kinda hard to have couples time with a 2 and 5 year old... haha!

What about you?
