Valentines Day is a great day to tell people how special they are to you. In these tough times, 
personalizing whatever you give will make the gift extra special.
Whether it's making something or buying a gift, include their name in some way so they know the gift is special and just for them. Writing poetry is a nice way to tell someone how you feel.
Better photographer? A small photo album of your photography with your heartfelt thoughts written under each photo of your valentine can be a lovely, intimate gift.
Can't afford red roses? Give something less expensive but still red. Local retail stores usually have fresh flowers at discount prices. Moth orchids make great inexpensive gifts and flower for months.
Prefer to cook? Have you tried to revise a recipe and name it after them, especially if it has their favorite ingredients? Make the dish for a meal, or surprise them with a batch of their very own cookies!
Trying to get his/her attention? Give the pet a gift, such as a handmade catnip toy or a bag of fresh, dried catnip. Make a heart pillow out of red fleece with his or her name on it. Over the years, we've made a number of custom red fleece pillows for suitors hoping to pop the question on Valentine's Day. (And yes, they were successful!)
The best gift is giving of yourself. Give a card with a certificate to volunteer to babysit, to drive someone to the movies, work for a day in the garden.
Happy Valentine's Day!
