Make Cookies
This is a Valentines tradition that my husband started 24 years ago. On our first February 14, he snuck into my bedroom and left me these amazing Neiman Marcus cookies.
Each year he goes to the store, buys all the ingredients and I know I can expect a batch of these warm cookies as part of our Valentines ritual.
Flower Petals on the Bed

Something to note, rose petals can leave stains on the sheets and comforter. If that is a concern, you can use silk flower petals.

Even better, Amazon sells them.
