Valentine’s Day personifies love. You can make it about your spouse, child, or significant other. Or, in honor of the new pope, you could make it about someone less fortunate. If you love animals you could donate to Los Angeles Westside German Shepherd. If you have a love for children and families, you could donate to Pasadena’s Ronald Mc Donald House
For those of you looking for a more traditional way to celebrate in 2014, here are some Valentine’s Day gift and dining options:
I love jewelry, and one of my favorite online discount designer shopping sites is Vente-privee
Perhaps home improvements or a remodel are in your future (lucky you). If so, check out my home maintenance providers for recommendations of contractors, decorators, plumbers, electricians and more.
Not all olive oil is created equally; an inexpensive and thoughtful gift is a bottle or two of quality olive oil
Traditional Gift Ideas
Perfume, candy, flowers, couples massage, spa day, facial; I always love a comfortable pair of slippers (I am easy to please).
