As was recently pointed out to me, flowers might be a good choice of a Valentine’s Day gift. Flowers might even be expected and if they aren’t given, the lack of flowers might put you in bad graces with your significant other.

Rose are usually the Valentines Day flowers of choice, whether they are pink, red, yellow, or white. Carnations are also a nice job but don’t last as long as roses. Dot Flowers has a selection of gift baskets, flowers, and other special gifts for Valentines Day. You can order online and get same day delivery. Don’t fight the crowds at the florist, and shop online.

So, there are some gifts that you can give for Valentine’s Day that aren’t flowers, but they might not be received as well. I guess it really depends on your sweetheart as to what the best gift will be this Valentine’s Day.

Did you know that there is a misspelling on the board game Monopoly? Before you contact Parker Brothers, they are aware of the error.

Apparently, the inventor of Monopoly misspelled the community Marvins Gardens. It should be Marvens Gardens. This error went to print and has never been changed. In fact, Parker Brothers apologized to the citizens of Marvens Gardens for the oversight in 1994.

It’s amazing what you can learn on Wikipedia. I was searching for something else and ran across that bit of trivia. I would never have guessed that Marvin was misspelled. I guess we do learn something new everyday.

Yahoo! Games named Cake Mania as the best casual game of 2006. After playing the game for a short time, I can see why.

Although gameplay may not be original, Cake Mania does have a backstory and a lofty goal for your character. You have just returned from culinary school and learn that your grandparents have closed their bakery. Now it is up to you to rebuild the business.

You take orders from customers, make the right cake, and then place icing on the cake according to the order. I haven’t made it very far in the game, but it looks like it can become a real juggling act. Cake Mania looks to have all the element to be a fun and entertaining casual game.
