Today From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor Let's just say that you've forgotten, up til now, to get a Valentine's Day present for your sweetheart. Not through any fault of your own, of course, but because you're extremely busy and nothing you've seen in the shops or online really seemed to express the love in your heart, etc and so on. Last-Minute Shoppers Pay More to Avoid Fights Psychologists say, the longer we wait to buy a gift, the more our focus shifts from expressing our love to staying out of trouble. Not that this trivia fact is particularly useful to you today in your panic. Valentine's Day Gifts in a Hurry The good news is, there's still time to get a thoughtful gift.
