Valentine’s Day 2015: Last-Minute Charitable Gift Ideas
|
|
Valentine’s Day is here. Today. Right now. Are you still looking for a gift for that someone special in your life? Or do you want to give a little extra on this romantic holiday? Or perhaps you want to lead by example by helping others on this international day of love? Or maybe your Valentine already has everything they want? Or you could be someone who thinks it’s a holiday created by greeting card companies and you don’t go for the commercialism that comes with it?
If you said “yes” to one or more of the above scenarios, then I have a stress-free solution to resolve all your issues: Give a charitable gift this Valentine’s Day. For these items, most times, you can make a charitable donation in your love’s name and then print out an e-card or other message offered. You can add this to an existing gift or give it on its own. A good idea if you’re really down to the wire would be to run to a Walgreens or CVS (some kind of pharmacy type place), grab a tiny box of chocolates and/or tiny teddy bear, put it together with the charitable gift message/print-out into a pretty gift bag (add tissue paper if possible to pretty it up), which will make the presentation lovely and not make it seem like you wait til the last minute.
See below for our list of Last-Minute Charitable Gift Ideas For Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day Video: 20 Love Songs In 20 Styles
Musician Anthony Vincent is back with another mash-up entry from his Ten Second Songs endeavor, where he sings 10 seconds of a song in a different style. This time around, the long-haired metal singer has done a Valentine’s Day-inspired video where he covered 20 love songs in 20 different styles.
Vincent starts off the session with 10 seconds of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” in the style of Sheeran’s before moving into a Beatles-esque version of the song. Next up, a Beatles song — “Something” — done as if Bon Jovi was performing it, and so on through music of many styles from Frank Sinatra to Journey to Boyz II Men to Type O Negative.

Valentine’s Day: Send Paul McCartney’s ‘My Valentine’ To Your Love For Free
|
This Valentine’s Day, Paul McCartney‘s official site has set up an area where fans can send his song, “My Valentine,” to a loved one along with a personalized message. You can write your own sentiments or choose one of the selections in the suggested messages area of the form. Your Valentine will then receive an email telling them that the song has been sent to them from an admirer. They can then click on the button in the email to be directed to McCartney’s site to receive the message and listen to the song. But, to discover who the message is from, they need to send the “My Valentine” song to their Valentine (well, this could get awkward).
The song is from the former Beatles legend’s 2012 album Kisses on the Bottom, a collection of McCartney covering his favorite standards from his children (such as “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive”) along with two new originals he recorded that fit this genre.
