There are three routes available to you, the love-stricken couple, on Valentine's Day - make a big show and plan well in advance; agree between you it's a hallmark trap and agree to do nothing special; or agree to do nothing special, then surprise them anyway.
Whether or not that special someone knows you're planning a thoughtful gesture, you can't go wrong with roses. Here are 10 local Sheffield florists still taking orders today (February 13, 2024!) who can help make a show of it tomorrow.
By the way, there's no shame if you're reading this article with less than 24 hours to go. Of course you're ordering them now, you wanted them to be fresh, right?
And remember; when you put them in the vase, use luke-warm water over cold and change it often. It'll keep them fresh and be a sweet reminder around the house for days.
