Ignore the hype - there are no "perfect" Valentine's Day gifts
says Surprise.com
PALO ALTO, CA - January 16, 2003 - February 14th is coming, so it's time for
thousands of stores to say they have the "perfect" gift for Valentine's Day.
Don't believe them.
Although conventional favorites like jewelry and power tools are usually
appreciated, surveys show that people prefer a gift that is chosen especially
for them. Unfortunately, finding a gift that's just right can require a lot of
time and effort.
