Trying to share the love with all is a tough job. Some days, I am not even sure that I can get it all done.  I mean Santa has his elves and reindeer, but what does Cupid have?  I have tiny little wings and a bow and arrow.  Now, this is terrific for striking love (or lust) into the hearts of the unsuspecting, but how can I possibly also plant the perfect Valentine's Day gift ideas into the hearts of every couple on the planet?  So, I have decided to share my secret to getting your shopping done for the special someone in your life and letting them know just how special they are to you.   With my secrets to getting the perfect Valentine's Day Gift (and the link to the websites) you can't go wrong.  And maybe, just maybe, I could come across a cute little tooth fairy to spend some time with instead of rushing around with everyone doing last minute shopping.

Valentine's Wine and Dine

Now, I can't tell you exactly where to go for a nice romantic Valentine's Day Dinner, but Urbanspoon.com can!  It may have been a long time since you checked out the best places to wine, dine, dance or dessert, but with this site you can learn all you need to know - hours, reservations, what's hot and what's not. My secret recipe for Valentine's Dinner-urbanspoon.com.

Valentine's Day Green Greetings

Sure, Valentine's Day is all about the red, the pink and white.  But even Cupid understands the importance of the green - the environmental kind.  Greeting green has never been easier or more fun.  Choose from the provocative or sexy, to new relationships, lost loves or long time marriage.  Online greeting cards are also perfect for the procrastinators, even Bryan Carey knows this and has a wonderful selection of his 5 favorite websites for going green with your greeting cards.

All that Sparkles is Not Gold on Valentine's Day

Kay Jewelers  offers solid gold choices, and many more sparkly items for your Valentine's Day jewelry needs for both men and women.  Can't think of what to get?  Cupid recommends, watches to diamond earrings - and let's not forget that engagement ring! Even Jane Seymour is getting into the spirit of the heart with her Open Hearts Collection offered at Kay's.

Oh the Sweet Smell of Love on Valentine's Day

Oh the sweet, sweet smell of romance in the air. And there is no place better to fill your love one with their favorite fragrance than Perfume.com.  Perfume.com offers those who love the way that love smells in the air several options to purchase from according to price or even gift sets.  Now, this is a site that knows love is in the air with their offer of 10% off and in some cases free shipping. You can choose from some of the latest and greatest in fragrances like Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors (my own personal favorite) as well as many celebrity fragrances like Britney Spears, David Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton.

In the Beginning there was Adam and Eve

For those couples that are looking for maybe more adventure, variety, or excitement in their relationships, a bow and arrow just won't do. So where can they go for romance and excitement?   AdamandEve.com is Cupid's recipe for adding spice to your love life. Massage oils, candles, aromatherapy, provocative lingerie and sex toys are artfully and tastefully exhibited provided you with details about the products and even a hint or two on how to use them.

Visit Wine Country on Valentine's Day

Wine Country Gift Baskets is Cupid's little helper with it's assortment of gifts ranging from approximately $30.00-$120.00 with quality wines, meats, cheese, gourmet foods, candy and chocolate. You can get a basket that is all for one, or get one that specializes in one item. There are several delivery options available and all the wines and gourmet food items are delicious.

What's Victoria's Secret on Valentine's Day?

From lingerie to fragrances Victoria holds the secret to romance, well at least the ones I have chosen to share with her.  Treat your special someone with a gift or gift card at  Victoria's Secret or choose among their many offers of Bras, Panties, Sleepwear, Shoes, Swimsuits, Fragrances and Beauty products.

Let's Run Away on Valentine's Day

Cupid may shoot the arrow, but it's up to you to provide the perfect setting. And what better way to find the perfect setting than to shop and plan a romantic weekend get- away on Expedia.com.

There it is, my secrets to a hot and sexy, sensual or romantic, loving or friendly Valentine's Day.  If everyone uses this list, I can go chase down the cutie little fairy with the green dress on, I think I heard her name was Tinkerbell. Music to my ears.

This was a great list, Cupid!

This was an excellent list. Too bad I can't get my hubby to read it. lol. But then, he DID propose to me on Valentine's Day 100 years ago and that was quite romantic. It's been kind of downhill since. Haha.

Oh that's ALWAYS needed, even when it' snot a holiday! But until Cupid finds me one I can actually depend on . . . it will stay on my wish list. Thanks so much for reading and the compliment.

This sounds really sweet. You put a lot of thought into this review. I hope that you and Bryan are pleasantly surprised on Valentine's Day. One really good gift that you forgot to mention: Free childcare or an evening without children.
