The Four Pillars of Valentine's Day
    

Maybe the boat's been missed for the 2006 Valentine's season, but for those looking forward to 2007, I present my award-winning*, patented** 4 Pillars of Valentine's Day.

  1. Flowers.  At work is best, but a bouquet that evening works if necessary as well.  But skip the roses - they jack the price up for V-Day specifically, and you could get her a HUGE mix of spring flowers for the cost of a dozen roses.
  2. Dinner.  Unless you're some amazing and romantic gourmet chef, go out.  Some place nice.  Some place that requires reservations for Valentine's Day.  And make the reservation at least a week in advance so you can get in at a decent time.
  3. Chocolate.  All women love it.  Well, most women anyway.
  4. Gift.  Even something small but personal, like a photo of the two of you in a nice frame, or a manicure/pedicure gift certificate.

The great thing about the 4 Pillars of Valentine's Day is that you can vary each part depending on your personal budget, but so long as all four are satisfied in some way, you'll leave her very happy each Feb 14!

* No awards were really won.  Unless you consider my upcoming marriage to my sweetheart.  Which I do.
** Not really patented.  In that case, consider it open-source for the betterment of mankind.
