I don't usually think of flowers as a great gift, but a few months ago a family emergency took my boyfriend out of the country for almost two months (which included Valentine's Day). He called on February 12th and Choles' florist assured him that despite the short notice, she'd make sure to have roses delivered to my office. I came back from a meeting the next morning to see a dozen gorgeous red roses waiting for me. They lasted for over two weeks, smelled wonderful, and made making the best of a tough situation a little easier.
