Valentine’s Tip – last minute: go to dollar store & purchase 4 or 5 different heart-related items like heart boxers, heart lollipops, etc. and hide them around the house with a note to help your love find them. Make it a little treasure hunt that he can enjoy more than once. Then, conclude the hunt with the treasure of you, wrapped up in some fun lingerie or having made a candle-lit dinner.
Personally engraved items make a great gift; most malls have stores that will engrave items such as key chains and it can be done right at the shop. Personalize it with your own special words for a sentimental gift.
I just tweeted about the giveaway

my last min tip is: send hubs a card at the office! this always tickles him… not often he gets fun, personal mail at work.
Using regular sugar cookie mix – divide the mix in half, color one half with red food coloring. Shape the “red” dough into “x” shapes and the undyed dough into “o” shaped. Bake as directed. Great gift for either your loved one…symbolizing “hugs and kisses” or for kids since it could double as a game of tic tac toe! Voila!
Walgreens saves me every time! I fell and severely sprained my foot last week, and only REMEMBERED V-day when I was filling an Rx at Walgreens the other day. I can’t even drive, so thank God my mom was able to drive me! Cards, treats – all good.

Last Minute Tip:
If your dining budget is tight, take an ordinary meal and make it extraordinary! Go Red! Use simple red food dye and punch up your evening. Lasagna, spaghetti, mashed potatoes… anything starchy will hold the color. Go wild! Start a new tradition! The Red Meal!

Will RT on twitter, blog about it, fb it, and more.
Have a romantic picnic inside. We couldn’t get a sitter for Saturday night, so we are improvising. We are going to put our son to bed (usually around 8pm). Then we’re going on a picnic in the living room. I’m going to lay a blanket on the living room floor. Then we’re going to eat Japanese by candle light. We’re strapped for money, so we’re getting the lunch menu to go & we’ll save it for dinner. Then we’ll watch a rented movie together! This is very romantic & you can plan it last minute!
Thanks!

Last minute…I would bake something that smelled good and make a home made card…
This year, it’s on a Saturday. Do a picnic if weather permits. If icky outdoors, make an indoor picnic on a blanket in the family room. Invite the kids! Everyone will have fun taking turns telling one thing they love about each other. (Walmart sells food and blankets, right? They’ll love this idea, then!)
And I’m going to love winning that iTouch!

We’re not big spenders and we don’t go out much. I’m thinking about making some heart shaped cookies with the kids tomorrow and writing a nice note to my hubby (and hopefully getting one in return!)
And, this can’t be used on V-Day, but you can celebrate love on the 15th, too, right? A B1G1 entree coupon for TGIFridays! It’s my tip to my hubby for my gift. So I don’t have to cook. Or do dishes. Here’s a link to the coupon: http://www.tgifridays.com/promos/bogo_coupon.aspx?fromeTarget

Valentine’s last minute tip: buy a classy book if you are out of ideas.
#Twitted, Stumbled, and Subscribed.
last minute valentine: Go to wal mart and buy a 1 dollar pink table cloth, 1 dollar heart tumblers, candles, heart plates and napkins, pink plastic forks, ect. Set the table with these things. Make a good dinner. eat together and for desert, a heart shaped cake with pink or red frosting and heart sprinkles.
Here’s a tip for the cheap date….drive to the local mini mart and pick up one of those roses with the water tube attatched to the bottom. $1-1.59. Budget done. Come home fill the bath with hot water, light some candles, romance done. Finally, for the added “Valentine’s Touch” toss petals from the rose into the tub. Pray that works!
Last minute gifts: I downloaded some free ringtone software and made a ringtone of “our” song for his phone so that when I call him, it plays.

Great give away! My best V-day tip is eat at home that day! The wait in restaurants is hours. Order in or cook a good meal at home. Bonus – you can have more than 1 glass of wine since no one has to drive. Then go out with your honey another evening so that you can enjoy your time out.
Was nice to meet you at Blissdom…even if only in passing.

I’m making cards for my husband and my kids, which will of course have hearts all over them. I’m planning to set up a little “beach scene” in the living room, to give them their Valentine’s gifts… a surprise trip to Florida that we’ll take in a couple weeks, while our kids have a few days off of school. (I have paper palm trees for the walls, sand for part of the floor, and a CD of beach sounds). I have been saving paychecks for a while, and found REALLY great (almost unbelievable) airfares.
Hoping that this idea is good enough to win us an ipod touch (my husband would probably like that even more than the trip!)
Thanks ~
Laura
Last-minute gift tip: Bake, bake bake! My family and friends share the same sweet tooth. Even brownies baked from a 99-cent mix are a huge hit with everyone. And so easy–five minutes from mix to oven. Don’t let Madison Avenue make you feel guilty by letting you believe you must spend big bucks to please another person.

Pull out a seldom worn nightie that your husband likes. Leave post-it notes all over the house that express sweet valentine’s sentiments.
a good last minute valentine’s gift tip? bake valentine’s day goodies – cookies, cake, pie, scones, whatever your sweetie loves the most!
This would be a last minute tip for couples..Me and my husband usually have no money when it comes to valentines, due to an anniversary which is pretty much the same, various birthdays and other stuff. So we usually cook a small dinner for the two of us and watch a movie after the kids have gone to bed. It’s a perfect thing to do and uses the rsources we have around our house and its great also if you’ve left everything to the last minute!

Actually, I just ordered last minute gifts this morning. I had different plans, but they didn’t work out. Plus, I came across something today that was perfect for one of my kids, so…
* I created a Valentine’s Card on the computer and copied / pasted the item I got for each kid and put a note that it’s coming soon…
Have a picnic basket filled with a romantic lunch waiting for him. Spread a pretty blanket on the bedroom floor and have a lovely indoor picnic.
(You can order Chinese or Pizza. lol)

Last year on the evening before Valentine’s Day, I waited for my husband to go to sleep. The all night grocery store was only 2 minutes away. I bought a bunch of big helium balloons. I stuffed them all inside the front of his Jeep, and taped a card to the steering wheel. The next morning he called me from work and told me he got the scare of his life. The garage was dark, and as he was getting into the Jeep, the balloons attached him, or so he said. Even so, he thoroughly enjoyed it!

For last minute plans, skip the restaurants. Dig up something in the kitchen and cook with your sweetie. Eat dinner picnic style on a blanket in the living room. That more time together and your doing something that you don’t normally do
I subscribe
A last minute gift would be to creat a certificate for a free massage, a homecooked meal, or something else. YOu can write it on a card and a personal service like that makes it special.
Make a card! Homemade cards are so much sweeter than store-bought ones. Even if you don’t have a lot of creative ability because even poorly made cards are adorable if made with love.
Last minute tip: Picnic! Even indoors if it’s cold out! Turn a regular meal into something special by spreading out a blanket, lighting some candles and breaking open the wine.

Last minute gift idea could be a shadow box with pics of you together or of your kids, an old movie ticket of a movie you saw together, things from a first date, something that reminds them of how you met. I did this once and stuck in an Arby’s fry container because that’s basically where we met.

My last minute Valentines Day Tip is if you don’t have a lot of money to purchase a nice gift, check out your local thrift shops, like Goodwill, you would be amazed at the treasures you can find there for under $5!! I have actually purchased brand new well known designer name brands for my 3 kids and my husband there and the items still had the original price tags on them! You can really do well there if you take the extra time to really look through the racks! Happy VD to you All!

maybe it gets lost but its that simple without chocolate or gifts of shinny things or anything like that. maybe thats why some guys don’t like it because the truth gets lost…but don’t get me wrong I love shinny things!

Last minute Valentine’s gift tip- A couple years ago, I put off Valentine’s shopping until the very last minute – like Feb. 13th. Panic mode usually sparks my creativity. I picked up a six pack of my sweetie’s favorite import beer (Bass & Co’s Pale Ale), took it to the florist who very kindly added balloons, flowers and ribbons. The finished product looked so impressive. I had it delivered to him at work. The florist only charged me $15 including delivery. I left a $10 tip – so for $25 I had a really nice, unique Valentine’s Day Bouquet that he loved.
Everyone loves a delivery at work!!
That paired with his favorite meal, ready after work , turned out to be a really nice gift.
It’s so weird, my sister just called to tell me that she will be giving her boyfriend a Beer Bouquet this year!! I told her I was just writing about that!!!
A marketing opportunity???
Last-minute tip for V-Day is to relax, and get out a pen and paper, and write a heartfelt letter to your loved one telling him or her why you love them.

My last minute gift tip is to make something crafty with what you have on hand. For instance, cutting and pasting a construction paper heart is ideal and also very thoughtful. I believe that for the most part, personally made gifts are more special and will be remembered for years to come!

The one thing I always do at the last minute is pick up boxes of candy. I always say that I’ll buy my elderly neighbors and mother-in-law something “different”…….but they look forward to the candy and even drop hints….very funny and not too subtle! So, it’s candy again this year

*I* think that colorful flowers and some yummy chocolates are always a great last-minute idea. If you add in a romantic movie and some snuggle time – you’d have me!

If you’re out of ideas or out of money (like me) a fun and quick idea is to have an inside picnic. Just spread out the tablecloth on the floor and make it romantic or fun, it’s up to you!

It’s V Day and you want to do something on the cheap for your kids? Heart shaped grilled cheese sandwiches are a favorite (bread cut out with cookie cutter). For Hubby? Back rub, favorite meal, crank up the Marvin Gaye…

Last minute gift: totally chocolates! Who doesn’t love chocolate?
We aren’t really doing much for Valentine’s Day. Just going to have a nice supper with some friends from out of town. I still need to get some chocolate for myself though since the hubby and I don’t exchange gifts…we never agreed that I can’t get myself something though, right?!!

My last minute giveaway tip is to stay up a little past your spouse, clear your mind, then write a letter that expresses some of the things you appreciate, love, and just can’t believe happened to you when you got married
p.s. you’re getting a lot of comments, if somebody already gave you this idea, please know, I did not copy

Make the kids heart-shaped sandwiches for lunch with pink milk, they love it.
Last minute gift is purchasing homemade chocolates!!! Yum!!
Make a heartfelt card telling someone how much they mean to you.
My favorite last minute gift is always something home baked. Who doesn’t appreciate something you spent the time to work on? My son also loves getting into the project and decorating the cookies and you can always do different shapes and designs.

Chocolate chip and banana pancake breakfast with sweet and spicy bacon, mimosas and coffee. In bed, of course
Hi Katja! My last min gift idea was a digital photo frame…so easy! Guys can appreciate since looks sleek on their desk and you dont have to spend time choosing which photo to add…add them all! and it’s a great way to capture some great moments over the years…no developing necessary! Need to be more frugal? I think guys just like to feel appreciated…a sweet note with his fav sweet treat is just enough
Dinner and a bottle of wine at home. Cupcakes will be for dessert. I will be making a card,because a card with your own words make the best.
Happy Valentines Day!!

For my husband a last minute idea that would still bring a smile to his face is pancakes for dinner with real butter. We don’t eat pancakes or butter at our house very often. So I guess my tip is do something out of the ordinary, small as it may be, and make it good.
Hey there. Cool contest. Will be subscribing as soon as I finish this wee post.
My last minute tip is to use different colors of construction paper and cut out hearts for the kids. They can write in their own lil’ cute sayings for their friends and even Mom & Dad! Make heart pancakes for breakfast , you could even add some dried cranberries in to the mix!

Leaving heart shaped notes in random places, like the bathroom mirror, car steering wheel, on the door knob, etc. It’s unbelievably cheap, but makes the recipient feel extra special.

For a cool V Day gift…find something homemade on etsy with hearts, or make a cool giftie out of love, like red cupcakes, red velvet cake or dip strawberries in chocolate. Making it together is super fun and romantic too…yum…

For last minute I usually dig through my scrapbook items, print a few photos and whip up a card. Last year I waited way too long so I stopped at Starbucks and bought a mug that you could put photos in. I made a background, cut it out & glued on a photo of our girls. It’s Doug’s favorite travel mug. We don’t go out on Valentine’s Day, so I plan a “restaurant style” meal (here are my favorite recipes) .

Cupcakes! Who doesn’t love cupcakes?
If all else fails, or you just forgot, cook a really yummy dinner for your special someone, and then clean their house.
My tip is instead of buying a gift, make one. Instead of taking your sweetie out to dinner make something new that they’ll love.

If everyone is going to have a busy day, or the kids have their own plans for the evening, why not make an extra special breakfast so everyone can start the day together. Even if you only serve cereal, at least everyone will be sharing a meal together.
When my kids were little, I used to add a little red food coloring to their milk to make it pink for Valentine’s Day. It was a fun way to start their day.

Vday last minute idea:
Heart shaped rice krispee treats made with your kids.
Or even better – check out some of the sites that have free trade items or items you can buy that will feed the hungry or help orphans – My personal favorite is Saint’s Coffee, you can even set up regular orders for it and it is great coffee. You feed an orphan for a month when you purchase a pound of Saint Coffee – that is TRUE LOVE.
Chocolate is always good think I will go eat some now
It doesn’t get any more last minute than pulling out your craft drawer and attempting to make a card that is just cute enough to make them forget that you forgot!

Tell your lover you’ll gonna be doing something special tonight.
Buy some fruits (melon, apples, banana, grapes and oranges).
Cut the melon in half and use your creativity to make something cool out of the fruits. You can incorporate your lover as well to help you.
Use some wine or some spirits to spice things up. Then put the stuff you made to the fridge for half an hour and then consume it as you like it.
