Seal your Date

Whether you waited until the very last-minute to do your Valentine’s Day shopping, just set up a date for Valentine’s Day, or you just forgot about the holiday all together, we have you covered. Here are some great last-minute gift ideas:

1. Valentine’s Day card – This may seem obvious, but trust me it isn’t.  Without a doubt you should at least have a Valentine’s Day card with a personal message written inside.  Don’t show up to your Valentine’s Day date without it!
2. Tickets for a concert, show, or sporting event – You can order and print tickets right at home from your computer from Ticketmaster.
3. Love coupons – You can whip up some love coupons for anything from a free back rub to cleaning their apartment.  Better yet, make a whole book of them! You can handwrite them, make them on the computer, or use this handy Love Coupon Creator!
4. Dinner in – So you didn’t make reservations, or even if you simply don’t want to eat out this Valentine’s Day… why not order some take-out and enjoy a dinner in? Ditch the paper plates and use the real thing, open some wine, light some candles and dim the lights to set the mood.  Volia! A romantic dinner for two.
5. Pamper him/her – Pick up some lotions, candles, bubble bath, body oils, and champagne.  Draw a warm bubble bath, light candles, pour a glass of champagne, and after the bath, give him/her a nice long massage.
6. Flowers – Grab a bouquet, or even just pick up a single rose.
7. Gift certificate – Not a very personal gift, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  Gift certificates are super awesome last-minute gifts since they can even be printed online from many stores now-a-days!
8. Box of Chocolate – Picking up a heart-shaped box of chocolates has to be the easiest gift to grab last-minute; they are for sale at nearly every food store, pharmacy and convenience store.

There you have it – 8 great last-minute gift ideas!

Your best bet: a combo of the above, such as Dinner In, Love Coupons, a card, and a rose.

Happy Gifting!
