Maybe your significant other is a moron who claims that “Valentine’s Day is over-commercialized, and I can give you a gift any day of the year”. While this is true, I have found out, the hard way, that the “any day of the year” part never comes with these types. At any rate, you can always grab yourself a free WordPress theme that’s as pretty as any flowers and won’t put on the pounds like chocolate. Here are six that I found that are pretty sweet.

Valentine’s Day–Just Do It January 21, 2008

Valentine’s Day is creeping up on us already! I have some tips for giving Valentine’s Day gifts…well, primarily one tip.

If you’re giving a Valentine’s Day present to someone you love or want to impress, do it publically. Even if you have a special gift you’d like to give in private, at least send some flowers to her workplace. She’ll love it. Dudes love it too. Just don’t include too much pink stuff.

Valentine’s Day is a good time to show off your originality. You don’t have to go over the top, but you might want to do something besides the half-dozen roses at the grocery store, you know? For example, if you’re going to buy flowers, how about something like this?

Significant other, if you are reading this, this is a HINT.

I think this Gigantic Love Fortune Cookie is really cool. You can individualize the fortune, so you could say something really sweet and memorable. Or if you’re not the creative type, you could enclose a Rumi poem or something. It would be really cool. This is the kind of Valentine’s gift that would have completely blown me away early on in a relationship. It’s a totally affordable price, too.

1-800-Flowers.com offers lots of options. There is simply no reason to do the half-dozen roses thing and that’s it, unless you have several gifts to purchase, and even then….really. You can do better. When it comes to
valentines day gifts there is plenty to choose from.

If you are one of those people who comes to a standstill like a deer in headlights when it is time to buy gifts, you have no excuse. Look at the nifty feature above. You type in where you live, what the occasion is, and any relevent keywords, and presto–there’s the present. So no saying things like, “I couldn’t think of anything that you’d like”.

So there you have it. No excuses. It’s affordable. There are plenty of choices. It’s convenient. So do it!

 

Look Who’s Back! January 10, 2008

In spite of an ongoing computer crisis, one of my favorite bloggers is back online! Check out Rhodester’s latest post: Widgets, Wonderful Widgets. He has some really super ideas for some new ones. For example:

4. A widget that downloads Johnny Depp if you’re either a straight female or a male resident of Palm Springs (other than me).

This would just be brilliant. If there is a programmer out there who can perform this miracle, I will give up on my dream of a house and give you my savings. It can’t just be the picture now, the real Depp has to come out of my computer. And he has to think I’m cute.
