Some day, in the not too distant future, ChatGPT or the like will act as our personal assistant, keeping us on task, making sure we get enough sleep, and reminding us of important dates. The app will ding 10 days in advance, asking if you'd like to buy one of three options for your wife for her birthday, your anniversary, and Valentine's. It will then order (with wrapping, of course), and the gift will arrive in advance of said special occasion, making you look like a proper hero.
Until that day comes, though, we have to keep on top of our calendars ourselves. But with this cheat sheet of perfect last-minute Valentine's gift ideas for your sweetheart, you can still come out on top. Better yet, as Feb. 14 looms and the frenetic pace of the new year becomes all consuming, you only need to remember a day or two in advance. And even if you don't have time to choose one of the below winners, you always have same-day flower delivery to fall back on.
Thank goodness for the Information Age.
