1)Buy a potted plant of red roses instead of a vase of red roses. Go to a nearby nursery and pick up one. These last longer and are environmentally friendly..
2)Make your own chocolate instead of buying from outside for a change. Here is a simple recipe:
Sugar-1 cup
milk powder-1 cup
butter - 3/4 cup
cocoa powder - 3/4 cup
Make sugar syrup.
Add the butter and stir till it blends with the syrup.
Whip the Cocoa powder and milk powder together.
Add this to the butter and sugar mix.
Keep stirring till it becomes thick.
Grease a plate. Pour the mixture into it.
After it cools, cut into pieces and refrigerate.
Add nuts like cashews if you like.
3)Make valentine cards with handmade paper or buy the ones made out of handmade paper.
4)The best gift: name a star after your loved one, buy a piece of the rain forest, make a donation in their name, etc.
