If you're looking for something to give your sweetie this Valentine's Day (or any occasion special to the two of you), this Gift Guide for Him and Her should help you come up with some fun ideas! My husband and I have always celebrated Valentine's Day in some way, partially because his birthday falls on the day after.

Even though it's turned into a crazy candy laden holiday, I do think it's a nice sentiment - a reminder to be loving on each other … [Read more...]
