Less than a week until Valentine’s Day, well shoot what now? It’s too late to order online without paying a lot for shipping so here are some ideas that you can pick up while you are running around town this week.

Of course, there is always The Hallmark Store. Typically you think of The Hallmark Store for greeting cards but they have so much more! For a hardworking loved ones desk you can pick up a Blooming Expressions. This new product allows you to deliver love and surprise someone special with a flower that blooms at the press of a button. Show your love in a fresh new way by unveiling sentiments like “I love you” and “There’s only one you!” The full garden of Blooming Expressions is available at local Hallmark Gold Crown stores and select Hallmark retailers. One of my favorite products at The Hallmark Store is the Recordable Storybooks and Hallmark just added several new titles to its popular library of Recordable Storybooks in time for Valentine’s Day. Love you Forever and Under the Same Moon are both sweet stories about life-long love and love across the miles. They join other popular Hallmark Recordable Storybooks like Counting Kisses, All the Ways I Love You and Guess How Much I Love You. These would make a sweet gift for any little loved one that will be a keepsake for years to come!
Next stop, CVS. Here you can find chocolates, candy and even the Blooming Expressions I mentioned above! In one stop you can get a card, candy and perfume! With 7000+ stores around the U.S. you ares ire to have a store near you!
Maybe you have a techy on your hands? Radio Shack might be a good stop! For the man who already has every gadget, why not provide a way to organize those electronics? The Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote is a high-tech remote designed to universally simplify the man cave.
For something a little more unique and unexpected. Any loved one in your life will find happiness in the Velleman Flashing LED Sweetheart Kit. This beginner-level kit features 28 LED lights from two blinking hearts and is fun for any person to assemble. What better way to show your loved one that they light up your life?
Maybe you have a busy student or mom on your hands? How about a stop at Staples for a red or pink M by Staples customizable Arc notebook. They have customizable discs which allow you to move pages, tabs, dividers, etc. around with ease to make the perfectly customized notebook. Perfect for someone who likes to stay organized!
This last one I LOVE! You can pick it up many places. Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond and Target to name a few. Who wouldn’t want a gift that says, “I love you enough to keep you from cleaning the floors.” I’m talking about the Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner, a robotic appliance smart enough to navigate and clean the hard surface floors of a room systematically and without human assistance, it’s a gift that will impact anyone’s life more permanently and profoundly than flowers or candy.
It also makes a great gift for gadget-loving guys and gals (or just plain busy ones), and it will prep anyone’s home or apartment for date night!
Any of these would make me happy! Hopefully a quick trip around town and you should be all set!
If you have any other great gift ideas please let us know!

Am I the only one that thinks Love You Forever is a bit creepy?
Ha ha I know what you mean
hallmark has other options! I love the recordable books.
