Unique Last-Minute Gifts for Valentine's Day

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Yikes - Valentine's Day already? Are you a last-minute romantic always scrambling for the right gift? This year how about something that doesn't wilt, go flat, add to the waistline or gather dust on the shelf? How about a real romantic experience?

Michael and Barbara Jonas, co-authors of The Book of Love, Laughter & Romance (7th printing), and creators of the Time for Two collection, have the perfect solution - they've developed two downloadable games that will make your Valentine's really special. Make-A-Date™ - is an entertaining and imaginative conversation game, and Romantic Interlude™ - is a playfully intimate game.

The games can be ordered from anywhere in the world, and there's no waiting and no shipping costs - just download, print and play! And, mindful of the economy, these games sell for under $10.

"The popularity of social media says that people want to be connected. But texting and tweeting isn't talking and touching. People need to spend more time face-to-face to re-connect with their significant other, and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to start," Michael observes.

Because 57% of people "talk" more online than they do in person, according to a recent survey conducted by Socialhype.com and Onlineschools.org, it's important from time to time to "disconnect" in order to re-connect.  

Keeping relationships passionate and energized is one of the reasons the Jonases created The Time for Two Collection of unique and affordable romantic entertainments. And they've just introduced their new blog, The Time for Two Minute™, where they and the romantically minded will share ideas and suggestions for making a relationship feel special every day!

"It's easy for couples to fall into a rut when it comes to spending time with each other. Add a troubled economy and it can challenge a couple's creativity to keep their relationship fresh and exciting," says Barbara.

"Time for Two's games makes it easy to create that 'special' evening. Couples simply 'make a date' to set aside private time and a place to play. The games set the stage - it's the players who share the romance," Barbara added.

Additional suggestions to enhance the romantic experience include: turning the cell phones off (of course!), turning on soft lighting, putting on romantic music, and setting out your favorite beverages and finger foods.

"Whether it's romantic suggestions from The Book of Love, Laughter & Romance, playing one of our games, or finding new activities to share with Two to Tango® - A Couple's Wish Box with hundreds of fun, creative and inexpensive dating ideas, Time for Two has something any couple can enjoy that will enhance their relationship in a positive way ... and not break the bank," Michael noted.

All of Time for Two's games, including their popular couple's game An Enchanting Evening® - a romantic game that ABC News called "love, laughter and romance ... in a box," or the award-winning conversation game, To Know You...Better™, for dating couples or date night, can be found at http://www.timefortwo.com.
