It may be tempting to scour the mall looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your lover, but believe me when I say that even though you mean well with the oversized stuffed pink bear dressed as Cupid, it will inevitably end up in the give/throw away pile within six months.

Instead of giving your significant other something that will contribute to the problem of waste, consider creating a naughty 'n nice coupon book for a gift they'll be sure to use.

Naughty coupons

- A day of sexual services

- Full body massage, complete with oil and soft music

- Breakfast in bed in the nude

- A striptease

- Game night for two. Pick up some naughty dice and let them decide what comes next.

- Lunchtime rendezvous. Have your partner meet you at home, but expect to go back to work still hungry as I doubt Oscar Meyer will play any part in the ensuing activities.

Nice coupons

- A romantic candlelit dinner for two

- A back rub

- Breakfast in bed

- One week off from a dreaded chore, whether it's making dinner or cleaning bathrooms

- Movie night. Bite the bullet and let your partner choose the movie. Yes, even if that does mean something starring Julia Roberts.

Believe it or not, you know your partner better than I do. The above are suggestions, but let your imagination run wild and come up with a few creative ones of your own. Just be sure to drop the kid's off with a friend or family member for the evening before you decide to redeem them.
