After The Facts

In grade school you would send the little redhaired girl/boy or that teacher you had a crush on a cheap Valentine or maybe present that special person with a candy Sweetheart that said, "I love you." But now that you're older, the stakes are a little higher and more expensive. If you care to send more than the very best, here are some ideas and prices.
