does anybody celebrate this? looking on Ebay it all seems to be hearts and flowers... ( when i'm actually looking for storage sets :/) i heart the simple romance, holding hands, flowers on a date kinda thing, so i don't buy into the commercialism etc,
without sounding like a wierdo, i will be getting my daughter a card, and making her some heart cookies, as i stand by the fact love is love, and although there is many kinds, a girl should always feel loved no matter what her age.. and i'll get her a few princess-y things so she can feel special for the day 
will any of you be doing anything? getting someone a card, making a cake? getting somebody some flowers ( i LOVE lillies XD )
and to all those who normally comment, ill make some cookies for you too, i may have to eat them tho...
