Now that the roads are usable following the blizzard last weekend, it might be time to start thinking about the Valentine's Day gifts that need to get bought before tomorrow.

Head into the village centers this afternoon and net a perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for your Valentine.

1. BIG THINGS IN LITTLE PACKAGES

You can't go wrong with jewelry. Check out Marcou Jewelers or Almoda Jewelry for a great gift she will love.

3. DAY OF RELAXATION

Give her a day of relaxation with a gift certificate to one of Watertown's spas and salons

4. CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT WORDS?

Looking for something besides candy and flowers, try getting her something nice at Victoria's Secret or something to make her feel and smell nice from Bath and Body Works.

CVS and Stop & Shop have the traditional Valentine's Day chocolates and goodies.  

Above all, remember: it's truly the thought that counts!
