Will You Be My Valentine?

Need a last minute gift idea? Consider buying a rose bush online other instead of a bouquet of roses that will die in four days. It will be shipped as soon as appropriate for your zone and will bloom for years to come. Try heirloomroses.com for a great selection of rose bushes.

Orchids are another great choice and about the price of a dozen roses. There are some new easy to care for varieties that are absolutely beautiful. They are available at most local garden centers.

A reusable travel mug and gift card to their favorite coffee joint or just a simple candlelit dinner at home are great choices too.  

And while you're at it, skip Hallmark, go green and make a handmade card with a poem or a picture. Your loved one will appreciate the thoughtfulness and you will save $5.

Happy Valentine's Day!
