Valentine's Day - Pre Planning 101


Valentine's Day! I know it's much too early to be thinking about cupid.
Everyone in my family made a new year resolution to avoid sugar - this is a yearly occurrence and the abstinence usually last until 1/10/07.
We (my friends and family) love Chocolate. . .most especially GODIVIA Chocolates. . or home made desserts. and I love getting flowers. . . .BUT another favorite Valentine's Day Gift is RED GLASS or GLASS shaped Hearts! Fenton Glass, Blenko GLass and sometimes Fiesta all do special things in honor of St. Valentine's Day. There are no calories in GLASS.
If you need to give the sweets - give them on a Made In WV GLASS bowl or container, or insist the Florist put your ROSES or FLowers in a BLENKO VASE - the cost is just a bit more.
With more than 36 days until V -DAY you have lots of time to think about the way in which you will use BLENKO or Made In West Virginia products in your Valentine's Gift.
