When I was in a relationship I shunned February 14th. I mean, why should one day be singled out over the rest to say I love you? But I quickly discovered although I had a more liberal view of Valentine's day, most if not all expect some sort of gift tomorrow. But are the cliche gifts of roses and candy really a gift from the heart? Here are some easy and more importantly thoughtful ways to show your love...and we'll keep the savings between us! :)

An appointment book with one date filled in -- that of a romantic getaway for the two of you. It doesn't have to be a Caribbean cruise. A day of "playing hooky" together at an out-of-the-way park and a back table at a dim bistro are perfect for creating that loving feeling.
-
A gift certificate for your honey's choice of pampering treatments performed by you. A massage, shampoo, and a bubble bath with room service -- their wish is your command.
-
A heart-shaped box from card or novelty store. Place a handwritten note inside: "Contains 365 blown kisses just for you -- take one a day."
-
Pajamas for the two of you. He wears the pants, she wears the top.
-
A cozy picnic. Never mind the snow. Lay out a blanket on the living room floor and serve up finger foods you can hand-feed each other. Don't forget the candles.
-
Sweep your sweetie off his or her feet with tickets to a ballroom dancing class so you can stay cheek to cheek all year round.
-
Indoor "sky writing" is a great way to say I love you to that special someone. Simply make a poster with a declaration of your devotion and tape it to the ceiling right over the bed. It will be the first thing your sweetheart will see upon wakening Valentine's Day -- and your final, sweet-dreams message.
-
A fortune -- or more. Get a handful of fortune cookies from a specialty market. Compose your own personal messages.
-
A dozen red balloons. Before you blow them up, insert tiny trinkets or love notes. Give the blowup, treasurer filled results to your beloved for a popping good time.
-
A blank journal you'll head "Reasons I Love You." Every reason will have it's own page.
