GIFTS / VALENTINE'S DAY

Anyone who had a heart

Love it or hate it, the season of love is here again! Whether you're in the throes of an all-consuming new romance, have long been a slave to love or feel destined to be struck by Cupid's arrow at any moment, Valentine's Day provides you with a chance to prove that romance is not dead yet.

But if you were born a loveless soul, you might consider yourself lucky! Why? Well, for starters you're not going to suffer from the loss of love - one of the noble truths of suffering common to all people (as taught by the Lord Buddha!). But then again, you won't get the chance to splash out on the lovely things real.time is going to recommend this week.

However, the season of love isn't only for romantic relationships. It's also a good time to show friendship and unconditional love for those close to you. And to prove the maxim "to love is to give", make good use of this occasion by heading out on a spending spree and treat your loved ones, or even yourself. RT
