Gallery of Uniquely Bethel Valentines Gifts

You don't have to be rich to make someone happy on Valentine's Day.  We went out and found several unusual and some traditional gifts at a variety of price ranges, most under $20. 

Here is a letter from reader Shannon Galliford, who sent in her best Valentine's Day ever:

My husband (of 15 years) is trying something new this year. His birthday is  Feb 14, so for years we have joked that, since birthdays trump everything, I get cheated on Valentine's Day.

This year on February 1st, I noticed a card on my windshield when I left for work. Just a sweet little funny card telling me that he loves me. The next day I got an e-card for Groundhog Day.

Other little things followed (a surprise at-work-delivery of my favorite latte, flowers on my night stand, a backrub,my slightly scuffed shoes freshly polished, a 6 pack of my favorite beer for Superbowl...)

Once I caught on, I asked him what was going on?? He said this year he was celebrating the 14 days of Valentine's Day to make up for all those years of birthday trumping. Nothing has been expensive, but all of it has been incredibly special. Can't wait for Day 8!!
