2013 Valentine's Day gift guide

For all of the lovers out there Valentine's Day is approaching! The 14th day of February marks the spreading of love, chocolates, and roses galore. Whether you have a valentine or haven't quite been shot by Cupid's arrow, not to worry. If you're having a bite to eat in Center City at Bucca di Beppo, or keeping it lowkey at Landmark Americana Tap & Grill on 33rd and Market, Valentine's Day should be enjoyed by everyone. The following gift ideas for "Him" or "Her" can simply be a sweet gift to someone you care about, relationships not required. The important item to remember, save your dough.
