How about a unique gift... Create a "European Flower Basket"

They're fun and easy to create. In fact, it's a great project to do with your kids.

• First, just pick out a decent-sized basket, any basket you like, and line it with a piece of plastic.
• Then start arranging your flowers. Some of spring favorites to work with are tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, azaleas, and African violets. It's a good idea to leave them right in their plastic pots because when one starts to fade, it's easy to replace it with something new, like primroses (don't forget to plant the faded flowers in your garden so they'll bloom again next year).
• Last, place a layer of dried moss on top to hide the containers and complete the look.

That's all there is to it... you've got a beautiful basket you just created yourself. It couldn't be easier. And your Valentine will love it all the more because you took the time to make it yourself. (The fact it didn't take a lot of time can be our little secret!)
