Valentine's gift ideas

Every February 14 it's the same thing: boyfriends and girlfriends exchange the standard flowers, cards and candy. A mix of tradition and a lack of creativity keeps us coming back for more. Sure, we're all suckers for chocolate and roses, but it's always nice to spice things up once in a while. This Valentine's Day, retailers are offering a mix of traditional and modern products to mark the romantic holiday.

Cards have been a Valentine's Day staple since Victorian times when they were hand crafted out of paper, lace and wallpaper. Today every card company offers hundreds of different love notes. Shop for cards at Hallmark.com or learn to make your own on YouTube.

Not so in love this year? Don't worry, American Greetings has got you covered. Debuting this year is there line of Anti-Valentine's Day cards. Perfect for friends who can take a joke or the person who just turned you down for a date, they cost only a few dollars and can be found at many card stores.

where did i set that extra $13000 i had laying around? hm.
This artical is pretty good, but i think that they should give
more ideas for gifts that girls give guys. i mean 4realz a girls
got a boyfriend but she has real close guy friends what are u
supposed to do then?
I totally think that this article is more targetted towards
teenaged boys who have no idea to get their girlfriends for
Valentines Day. that's just my opinion though. I loved some of the
ideas, even though I'm not a particular fan of White Castle I
would still think that it was rather romantic if a guy did that
for me. The chocolate strawberry bouquet is a wonderful too (since
I love chocolate strawberries). And I've always loved Build-A-Bear
though, we don't have that many of them around here.
i didnt know you could do that with m&ms!! kick arse
Awesome article!! Good ideas! I luved the personalized M&M idea! I
had no clue u could do that!! A little pricy tho since u have to
order a minimum number of bags!! Makes me excited for Valentine's
Day!
I work at Build A Bear and yesterday we had a guy come in a make a
bear. Inside he recorded his own voice asking her to marry him.

It's actually a very common thing now. I've seen 2 actually propse
in our workshop.
Great article! I want to take my son to a Build-A-Bear store when
he gets a little older. My dad's birthday is on Valentines and I
never know what to get him. I might get him and my mom gift
certificates to dinner and a movie.
