meebee's Last Minute Valentine's Day Gifts

February 14th sneak up on you?  Just realized that you don't have anything for your sweetheart? Worried about the first impression? Might be the end of your relationship? No worries. meebee.com once again comes to the rescue and compiled a fine of list minute gifts to save you from being in the doghouse - 5 tried and true Valentine's Day gifts.

Dinner out - most places will be full this late in the game, but a few off-the-beaten path restaurants will still have a cozy table for two.

Home-cooked meal - Restaurants totally booked? Fear not, mix up a home-cooked meal. The extra effort, heart and sweat will show your loved one how much you care.  Get a heart-shaped slab of steak from Henry's Market. 

Candles and Roses - Classic, a little cheesy, but still effective.  Both can be found most anywhere, even it's the day of.  Surprise them with a candlelit room decorated with roses.  Or, a single long-steam rose works wonders, too.

Valentine's Day: 5 Spots for a Romantic Getaway

Whether you think Valentine's Day is a commerical holiday arranged by Hallmark, or you're a hopeless romantic that looks forward to February 14th every year - you end up doing at least something. So why not get a cool life experience and head out for a romantic getaway. Here is meebee's 5 spots for a romantic getaway:

1) Paris: Obvious, right? But it's the "City of Lights" with wine, food, history, art and, well, love.  Paris is the world's most visited city and there's a reason why: it has something for everyone.  But romantics can kiss in the shadow of Notre Dame or sneak one in after seeing the Mona Lisa. Truly a hot spot for Valentine's Day.

2) Prague: A magical, enchanting city that feels like you're in a fantasy land.  During winter, the light snow adds to the romantic appeal of the small European City.  Walking the winding, cobblestone streets of Prague, snuggling close to your loved one as large castle looms over you, proves romantic on our list.

3) Seychelles: How could one of the most beautiful locations in the world be left out? The white sand, swooping palm trees and crystal clear tropical waters bring the romance out in all of us. Although it takes a bit to get to these small African islands, it's well worth it once you arrive.
