Kim Martin Newell: I sent my husband a handmade invitation (at his office) to join me on Valentine's Day to prepare a special meal together. Not only is it cheaper than dining out, we can enjoy cooking together and take our time eating it.

Abigail Bleck Baker: I make Clark, my husband, and Caroline, my daughter, chocolate covered strawberries.

Mary Lu Saylor: Making cookies for my man!

Patricia Crandall: I make heart-shaped brownies and write on them with store bought icing in the little tubes. I also use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut everyone's sandwiches in hearts. I used to tie a special balloon on each of my children's chairs for dinner.

Sheri Christiansen: Make tickets... to be used when they want them... like a 30-minute backrub or dinner night. The list is endless and it can be naughty or nice… just have to use your imagination!!

Gretchen Cooper: A free babysitter for my girls for a few hours so my hubby and I can go out!
