Lotions, Bubble bath, and a “Strip Chocolate Board Game for Lovers” - oh my!

Both of these gift baskets are pretty expensive, but I’m guessing the memories will last a lifetime.

I came across this website that sells different kinds of berries dipped in different kinds of chocolate. Some of them are rearranged to look like flowers, like this one, called Strawberry Roses.

They have some other nice Valentines Day Gifts and Business Gifts available.

Are flowers a good gift for Valentines Day? Or is it one of those things where it’s kind of half-expected so it really doesn’t win you any points? And because it’s half-expected, does that mean you should do it anyway?

And are roses the right flowers to buy? Or does it depend on what the girl likes? And what do the different colors mean?

Well, I found some answers at Online Dating Magazine. Interesting stuff. Apparently there are three different hues of pink - all of which have different meanings.
