Ok guys this post is for you, time to get a move on. Don't fear, all is not lost. Uncle Brucie is here to help. If you've done nothing to this point, well, you're still ok. Plenty of time left but that doesn't mean you can sit around wasting it! Chop, chop! Here's plenty of ideas to get you started, you supply the credit card!
Apple: Yes the computer, iPod, iPhone, iTunes, iTake your money company (oh I'm kidding). The iPod Nano now comes in pink. $199 and for an extra $25 get a groovy Valentine's play list of 25 songs pre-loaded. And they'll even gift wrap it! And if pink's not her thing they have lots of other colors, too.
Proflowers: Get a dozen long stem red roses for $49.95 with a free ruby vase. Are you a two-dozen kinda guy? $69.95. How 'bout three anyone?? $99.95. Or the Ultimate Valentine's Day Gift including chocolates and a Teddy Bear for $79.96. On a budget? Sweetheart tulips in a vase for $29.99.
Vermont Teddy Bear: Every Teddy Bear under the sun and plenty of Valentine's Day ideas, $49.95 and up. My favorite? The "Love Me Tender Elvis Bear"! Bummer, I couldn't find a photographer bear? ;) What's up with that?
Pajamagram: What girl doesn't LOVE pajamas? Lots of cool styles to choose from and plenty of Valentine's ideas for under $50. And they come delivered in a hat box with some other goodies for her, too! Whether she's into comfortable pajamas or *ahem* something else, you'll find it here!
Victoria's Secret: Speaking of *ahem* something else, there's plenty of it at VS! And there's an entire "pink" section, just in case you're looking for something to go along with that pink iPod! Shop online or find your nearest store here. (Does anybody know who Victoria is? And what exactly is the big secret??)
Godiva Chocolatier: What more can I say? This is a no-brainer! Plenty of choices and simply the best chocolates! (Ok, ok they're MY favorites, get your own blog!) Easy online ordering and a nice selection of Valentine's Day collections but really it's hard to go wrong with anything on this site. Just find something within your budget and order! (And hope she shares with you!)
Jamie Oliver's Valentine's Day Menu: Ok so you're not a "plunk down the credit card on some impersonal gift" kinda guy? Want to impress her with something extra special that you did yourself? One of those types that just has to go above and beyond, eh? Head on over to Epicurious and check out all the instructions you'll need for a super Valentine's dinner (and it's a great read!) straight from Jamie Oliver!
The Sweetest Days Photography: Yep that's us! We're offering something new and we thought: why not announce it here because it just might make a PERFECT Valentine's gift for that special someone in your life. (Ok this isn't just for the guys out there!) Of course you all know we specialize in wedding photography but we're now offering a package especially for those of you that want to get some portrait or family photos taken. Our goal is to create unique, one of a kind portraits that you or your family will cherish forever and without the typical hassles and stuffiness you might think of when you think of portrait photography. So what's the deal? How's this sound:
We will come to your home, or meet you at whatever favorite place you may have in mind to photograph you, you and you're sweetheart, you and your family, you and your sweetheart's family (well you get the idea!) and create beautiful custom portraits.
We will travel a reasonable distance to any site within our coverage area (please double check with us!) Bookings are subject to availability, weddings come first! Again please check with us when you inquire.
This package includes:
- 1 hour photography session on site (not counting travel and set up time of course!) You will be amazed at the amount of shots we can get in one hour's time :)
- All images edited, checked and corrected for color and exposure, some artistic enhancements such as sepia, black and white, "special sauce" (can't tell you about that remember?!), etc. The same relentless quality standards, care, and creativity that you've come to expect from us with our wedding images will be taken with your portraits as well.
- Up to 100 images in an online gallery that can be shared with family and friends (exact image count will vary).
- Online shopping cart for easy ordering of high quality prints, enlargements, and other photographic products at our standard print prices. (Please note: these are NOT proof prints! These are the same high quality photographic prints that you would get in any of our wedding package galleries with online ordering!)
- Our introductory price for this unique package is $279 and includes a $10 credit towards print orders for you and each family member or friend you invite to your gallery!
We're really excited to offer this to our customers as a way of getting some unique pictures of you, whether it be at your home, or a favorite park, the beach, whatever! Maybe that spot you drive by on the way to work each day that you've always thought would be a perfect place to take some pictures; we're up for it! Give us a call at 860/376-5566 or email us at "info AT thesweetestdays DOT com" and we'll be happy to answer your questions!
So there you go, plenty of Valentine's shopping ideas for you guys and hey girls, don't be shy, send this link off to that guy in your life who may not be one of our regular readers. A little nudge always works! ;)
Enjoy!
