So, as a follow-up to last week's article, this week, I will be sharing gift ideas as well as more DIY tips to help make Friday, Valentine's Day, and the weekend a special one. Here are some gift ideas that will help you say 'I love you' for all the valentines in your life.

  • Sister or female friend

Show some sisterly love by having your sisters/ girlfriends over for some 'girl talk' while serving up some sinfully good chocolate cupcakes.

  • Brother or male friend

Beer and pretzels are a natural combination. Mix them with smooth caramel and you have an awesome treat that men go wild for.

  • Girlfriend/boyfriend

One of the easiest ways to show you care for that special someone is by making them some heart-shaped desserts/sweet treats.

Make them some heart-shaped red velvet cheesecake, or heart-shaped macaroons.

  • Wife

A wife will really know that she's loved if she wakes up to a delicious breakfast in bed - it will surely have her starting out the day with romance on her mind. Pancakes are easy, so make her some served with orange juice or fruit juice. She is sure to appreciate it.

  • Husband

How lucky is he to be loved by you ... especially when you serve up a tasty Valentine's Day meal? Make him some fil.et mignon.
