What do you think are good gift ideas to give on Valentine’s Day?

♥ Cassidy Gormley and Chris Hoskins- “For girls, any special jewelry, stuffed animal or chocolate. For guys, anything that has to do with food or an article of clothing. But the present is never complete without a cute card.”
♥ Taylor Tobey and Zack Pericone- “His/her favorite candy or chocolate, a big teddy bear for her, and flowers, especially roses.”
♥ Riley Martin and Ethan Barnes- “Roses, something that reminds you of that person or a memory you’ve shared, chocolate/food, pictures of you and your loved one in a collage, a CD mix, big teddy bears! Honestly, it should be something thoughtful that comes from the heart, very cute and with a bit of humor.”
