Bad Company

After Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

If love means never having to say you’re sorry, then why are you still apologizing for forgetting Valentine’s Day? We give you a few ways to get out of the doghouse and back into your S.O.’s good graces.

Back to the Future
You always knew you’d love him forever. Prove it by sending an e-mail today to be delivered tomorrow at FutureMe.org. Just type in a love note and set the delivery date as far ahead as 2037.

Tee-ing Is Believing
They say only love can break a heart. But throwing out his favorite tees did the job, too. Mend it with a one-of-kind swimsuit by Low Tee. Each is made from vintage T-shirts.

Meet, Drink, and (Once Again) Be Merry
Convince her to leaf well enough alone at Tempest Tea (5600 West Lovers Lane; 214-351-4832). It’s serving limited-edition Sweetheart Blend and Valentine bubble teas ’til the end of the month.

The Shining
Anschar Diamonds (12900 Preston Road; 972-233-1804) will make her jewelry that does more than sparkle. Offer up a few ideas, and you’ll get a custom poem or a bit of prose to go with your gift.

Sleep on It
Hand over your romantic request to the Passioneers at the W Dallas (2440 Victory Park Lane; 214-397-4100), and they’ll make sure all your wishes (like in-room couple’s massages or a candlelit dinner for two) come true.

And that’s nothing to be sorry about.
