Oh that's so sweet! I love getting flowers.

We typically shun valentine's day... until I realize that everyone around me has gotten flowers and I have asked for nothing. Luckily they're usually waiting for me when I get home :)

I think gift baskets are a great idea because its romanitc and can be personal. Its a day of love and spending it with those you love makes sense. You can get a gourmet gift basket and go on a picnic. Great for the whole family or two. You could buy a romance gift basket and make it a day to use it all the time.
