Default Free Valentines Day gift

I found this fun youtube contest called 'Will you marry me?' where couples are uploading videos to say how much they love each other. It's kinda cute! A bunch are even proposing! It would be a very free thing to do for Valentines Day. Ah, the internet. So many new ways of showing your love.

That's a wonderful idea! I think reciting a poem or performing a song on Youtube would be great ways to show the world how much you love your honey.

Also, if your skills run more to the technical than the artistic, it doesn't take long to figure out how to throw together a little video using photographs, video clips, supplemental web clips and an mp3 of "your song" in windows movie maker.

Totally. Now there's a huge risk of looking terribly cheesy, but for the most part, they're pretty adorable. I think it's so cool that 1-800-flowers is doing something creative like this, instead of just sticking to the predictable roses-for-sale shtick!

What a coincidence! This ad for the flowers just showed up on my blog. Actually, this close to V Day, I guess that's not really unusual...

Haha, sounds like GoogleAds did its job! Yeah 1-800-flowers has some pretty neat gift packages, like these eco-friendly fair trade bouquets.
