From a sewing machine to a can of air, women have received all kinds of bad gifts.
Depending on your view, Valentine's Day is either a fun holiday to show someone how much you care about them, or a Hallmark holiday created to increase card sales. Whatever you think of the holiday, don't forget to give something to your loved ones. But be careful: you don't want your gift to end up on the receiver's "worst gift list." A story posted on iVillage includes "worst" gifts such as a sewing machine, tickets to a death metal concert and even a poinsettia. I even know someone who had to talk their friend out of buying a lamp for his sweetie for Valentine's Day. So on this Feb. 14, we want to know what was the worst gift you ever received on Valentine's Day? Tell us in the comments. What could have made it better?

For Valentine's Day, tell us what you love most about town.
Whether it’s the local schools, your favorite place to eat, or the proximity from home to a great trail, everyone has something they love about their community. (Maybe how much snow there is right now?) Since it's Valentine's Day tomorrow, we want to hear what you love most about Wayland, and what exactly makes this place so special. Is it the open spaces? The water? The people? Please post comments and pictures here to show us all your favorite things about Wayland.

Restaurant and business owners: share your Valentine's Day specials on Patch.
Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Flowers are being ordered, presents being wrapped, and restaurant reservations booked. Here at Wayland Patch, we want to help local business owners get the word out about Valentine's Day specials and promotions. Maybe you're offering a discount on Valentine's Day items, or featuring a special menu for a romantic dinner. Or, perhaps your on the other end of the spectrum —hosting an anti-Valentine's Day party. Either way, let us know what you're doing to celebrate Valentine's Day in the comments, and we'll feature your business in our roundup to post before Valentine's Day. Also check out this list of children's classic books to share with a child for Valentine's Day.
