Outdoor decor idea for Valentine's Day: Hang a love flag!

As Valentine's Day draws closer, people will be looking for ways to express their love for their sweetheart.  A nice dinner, some chilled wine and a few candles is always a good idea, but sometimes a unique idea just might cinch the love deal.  So, if hiring a pilot to trail an "I Love You" banner behind their private Cessna is not within the budget, how about flying that sentiment outside the front door by hanging a Valentine's Day love flag? They are very affordable and several sites sell them.
