Love is in the air: Last minute Valentine's Day gift ideas
Admit it. We've all been there when we're going about our day and then it hits us: It's V-day and you've done zilch!
If you've left shopping to the last minute, fret not! It might be time to revisit the classics and go with a robust and reliable present. Or for some, creative juices flow best under pressure. If you're not amongst the latter, here's a cheat sheet of gifts that will make your loved one swoon, even if you're short on time.
For the one with a sweet tooth
George Bernard Shaw was onto something when he said, "There is no sincerer love than the love of food." Get your significant other sweet treats such as cupcakes, cakes or cookies to show them you care. It will be love at first bite! Depending on the time crunch, you can give baking a go, provided you have a couple of hours to spare. Cupcakes and brownies are your best bet since they're relatively simple. Even if they turn out horrible, your partner will appreciate the effort. After all, it's the thought that counts!
However, if you don't want to risk it, head over to The Cakery for their 50 Piece Valentine's Variety box or get cupcakes from Pane & Amore and frost them with heartfelt messages. Cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon are an acquired taste but if your special someone is a fan, then you can substitute the traditional sweets for those!
