Sweets for my sweet...
My boyfriend has to work on Valentine's day so we're celebrating it the night before but I was thinking of maybe buying or baking something to bring in to his work. I am not that great of a baker, but I can do it if needed. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should bring to him? He's not a huge fan of chocolate and he likes various candy, I just don't want to buy him something and give it to him, some thought should be put into it...

If he dosn't like chocolate then how about different candies like you know those little heart ones in a box, I don't really like them but I know alot of people who do! Cookies are good to make you don't need to actually bake them you can get them from the store and stick in in the oven. Oh a cute little gift would be nice like and heart picture frame with a picture of who guys in it! There are also tons of other candy so thats not much of a problem if you know what he likes. I hope you guys have a great valentines day!

If you don't want to try anything too difficult you could always get a package of pre-made sugar cookie dough. All you have to do is form the cookies and bake but they still taste good. The fun part is decorating them after and you can personalize them. You could put pink frosting on them and some sprikles or candy hearts... or put his name on with icing.
