Regardless of when or why Valentines day started it is celebrated every year as a day to say I LOVE YOU. A good traditional list of gift ideas for this day; Chocolate, Flowers, Jewelry, Silk & Lace, Cute stuffed animals, Dinner, Movie, Quiet evening together, and for many ( like my wife) MONICALS. E-cards are also a wonderful way to express your love and devotion. They’re eco-friendly, totally customizable, and if you happen to forget what day it is, they travel to their intended destination within seconds.
A Valentines webpage much like an e-card only larger and you can set your home computers homepage to be the valentines page. imagine thier suprise when they turn on the computer and see your Valentines day Webpage. Like this one HERE And if you would like a page for your loved one(s) send us an email at nrk@yourtown2.com
