For those of us who are procrastinators, here are some last-minute ideas for Valentine's Day:1. Stay in. Go to a specialty store, pick up some fabulous picnic-y yummies like summer sausage, fine crackers, french bread, marinated olives, goat cheese, brie (triple cream, of course), chocolate, pears, apples, figs and wine if you like. Fix a picnic by the fire, in bed, on the deck, or take your sweetie to the park, the beach or the mountain top.
2. Make something, anything. A card, a poem, a bouquet of wild flowers, a heart shaped from leaves or petals or rocks (whatever is handy will do) and create it at the entry way as a surprise when your love comes home.
3. Leave a balloon (or many!) on your sweetheart's car. Whether they are boy or girl, 25 or 63, this will make them smile and laugh and will make them feel loved.
4. Tell your love why they are special to you - from your heart, even if it's scary. The returns will be worth it.
5. Pamper your Valentine - it sounds simple, but drawing a bath and washing their hair is a lovely way to give (and receive) attention.
Happy Valentine's Day!
