We often say we aren’t buying our sweetheart any sort of chocolate, flowers or even a card but let’s be honest, we do! Often leaving it to the last minute as a mad rush act of booking the perfect restaurant (which is often booked and over priced), ordering the perfect arrangement of jaunty roses (which you pay a premium), or stopping at your local drug store to pick up the already picked over waxy chocolate.
