Valentines Day Last Minute Gift Ideas

Did you wait until the last minute to get that special someone a gift?  If so, here are a few ideas that could help save the day.

Flowers - traditional gift, easy to find
As I drove around town today, I noticed several men had roses in the front passenger seat of their cars.  This is one of those gifts that should usually be picked up on the actual day, so no one has to know that you were unprepared.  (maybe that's why it's so popular).  Of course, you can get a great boquet at many local grocery stores, or you may want to try a local florist shop like Wylie Flower and Gifts on Ballard Street in Downtown Wylie.  You may want to call them first at 972-442-5873.

Chocolates - traditional gift, easy to find
If your sweetheart is on a diet, this is not the recommended gift item.  However, most people really enjoy savoring the sweet taste of chocolate.  Again, you can pick up a box of chocolates at a local grocery store or even a drug store - but you may want to try something special from the Say It With Sugar bakery in Downtown Wylie TX.  Say It With Sugar even has some sugar-free items.  Call them at 972-442-3613 and get there before they close at 6pm today.

Fine Dining - traditional, plenty of choices on locations
Of course you can try to get a last minute reservation at one of the area steakhouses like Bob's Steak and Chop House in Plano, or the Silver Fox Steakhouse in Richardson, buy your best bet may be to head over to Firewheel Town Centre and try Houlihan's or Gloria's Mexican Restaurant.  While you are at Firewheel Town Centre you can also stop in to one of the stores for a gift!

Jewelry - traditional, more expensive
If you didn't propose to your sweetheart this Valentine's Day you may not have considered buying jewelry.  However, there are some great pieces of jewelry available from rings to watches and everything in between.

Bath & Body Products - less traditional, less expensive
If you need a gift quick, but don't have alot to spend, then try something special from Bath and Body Works.  They have plenty of choices for scented soaps, lotions and oils.  Maybe you can pair this gift with a personal massage from you...what a great gift idea that doesn't cost alot.

Homemade meal - traditional, less expensive
Sometimes the homemade gifts are the best of all.  Find a new recipe and make it together with someone that you love.  Then spend the evening talking and enjoying each other's company instead of watching TV.  Spend quality time with them and show that you care....it doesn't cost a thing.

Whatever you do for Valentines Day, make sure that you keep love and kindness at the center of it.  Today is a day to go out of your way to show people that you care about them.  Your Valentine may be your spouse, boy or girl friend, your children, or a dear friend.  Whoever it is, let them know that you care.  You might even start a tradition that lasts past February 14th.

Happy Valentine's Day!
