(ARA) – Tempting though they may be, most guys realize that a riding mower or a state-of-the-art snow-blower doesn’t cut it when it comes to plucking their sweetheart’s heartstrings. Practical choices like vacuum cleaners and dishwashers generate icy stares, while sexy lingerie will never emerge from the dresser drawer. So what’s the key to romance? This year, spoil your Valentine rotten with a gift card for a relaxing bed-and-breakfast getaway or soothing spa session -- the perfect gift of romance.
