According to the Random Integer Generator, our winner is #13 Comment #14 Joanna from Keeping Feet And just to make it fair because, NO Allison Worthington you cannot win, a random number was chosen beginning with the second comment.
Maybe you’ve already heard of this fabulous little device, named ‘Best Gadget of 2008′ by Wired Magazine, but if you haven’t let me introduce you to my new right hand. It’s called the Peek and it’s sole purpose is to keep you connected to your email everywhere and anywhere you go.
Now, if you’re already tricked out with an iPhone or Blackberry this might not be your solution. In my case though I’ve already got a mobile phone I love but it doesn’t handle email well and in the current economy I just can’t justify shelling out a bunch of money when I’ve already got a perfectly good phone. ALL I need is something to help me stay in touch with my email when I’m away from home and the Peek is perfect for me.
The Peek has a full keyboard that is easy and comfortable to use, a scroll wheel for easy access and reading, and simple straight forward menus to keep you organized.
The other thing I am really excited about is there are NO contracts. The Peek service supports most popular email providers and has a fairly low monthly cost at $19.95 per month. You can read more about the Peek at their website.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, Peek has asked us to give away a Sweetheart Valentine’s Day package to one of you. If you’d like to win 2 Cherry Red Peeks plus one free month of service for you and your honey, leave a comment telling us the most romantic Valentine’s Day communication you’ve shared with your Valentine. We’ll announce the winner on Friday so you can share the news with your honey.

When we were engaged, my sweetheart gave me a beautiful poem he’d written. Still cherish it nearly 5 years later!
Honestly, with 4 kids & 2 jobs we have a hard time communicating about any BUT kids & work. We love to text back & forth because we also both have access at any time (the peak would be perfect for us) & it’s short & sweet.
I can text him sweet nothings… and he can do the same back. No one is listening, no one has any idea… OK sometimes when you get that corny smile on your face when your reading a text, People can guess BUT It sure beats interrupting a board meeting and getting Honey, Now is not a good time. HA! love the vibrate ring!
can I win? LOL
The Valentine’s Day after the birth of our first child, he sent me a series of postcards with a piece of a puzzle on it. After putting together the puzzle, all my doubts of being a new mom and going back to work, disappeared because it said- “I love you for being my daughter’s mother- the best mom she could ever have.” Whenever I doubt myself or have a rough day, I only need to look at it to find the same calming strength it gave the first time I looked at it.
The most romantic?
Has to be while our youngest was having chemo, it was Valentines Day, the hubz spelled “I love you” with legos as we both sat next to our sons hospital bed, watching a Veggie Tale movie.
Too me, that was better than any flowers or cards. I think I may still have the picture..
my hubby wrote me a valentine’s letter on plain old lined notebook paper in February of 2004….from Iraq where he was stationed w/ the Army. Plain & simple – but definitely the BEST love letter
The best Valentine’s message was 6 years ago, before we were married and we were dating long-distance. It would make me blush to tell you what the message was but he wrote the best emails when we were far apart and his romantic side was what made me fall in love with him and move to be with him. I love my hubby and would love to win one of these. Thanks for the chance to win!
my man is not particularly romantic on his own, but he knows how much these things mean to me that each year he tries to do something. one year when we didn’t have much $$ i encouraged him to just make me a card and i would make him one. i’m into stamping and crafting and such. he drew stick figures in black and wrote a cute sentiment. it wasn’t a masterpiece, but i loved him so much for being a good sport and trying. it meant the world to me that he would show me he loved me in a way that wasn’t his comfort zone.
hope i win!
I have never had very good Valentine’s days. Flowers here and there, though the men behind them were…. stale
So this Valentine’s I’ve taken it onto myself…
My communication with my new guy this year… I am sneaking into his house on Wednesday and plastering all of his walls with old fashioned kids Valentines, and flowers on the bed…
It should be a surprise to him when he gets home… especially when there is a pair of red satin pajama pants at the foot of the bed for him and rose petals leading him up the stairs…
I am going to put a dinner from Honey baked ham and a small personalized cookie in the fridge for him… another small surprise he will find later on in the night.
I hope that gets the communication across.. even though I don’t get to see him until Thursday night.. It will give him a night to anticipate our first Valentine’s together!
(I have learned over the years that I MUST set the precedent if I want things done a certain way for the future of our relationship… so I’m taking the first step!)
Our first Valentine’s Day we were SUPER broke. I ended up pulling out my scrapbook supplies and making a really romantic page for him. I included a bunch of pictures of us, and a ton of mushy romantic scrap embellishments. We still have it, hanging on our wall!
It use to so romantic before all kids came! So now him and the kids make me all kinds of sweet cards! Which all of that means more to me than anything!
Thank you for the chance!
I’m crossing my fingers and toes!
While I was sleeping hubby took our printer paper, and drew arrows over a dozen pieces. Then he made a trail with them directing me to a hand written letter telling me how much he loved me, etc. It wasn’t vday, it wasn’t our anniversary, just any other day. So that makes it even more romantic.

Why do we wait for vday to communicate our love so much?
My hubby gave me a Valentine card once that said something like “Let’s bring a little SPICE into the relationship this Valentine’s Day…” and, on the inside, a packet of pepper was glued to the card. Made me smile!
I once made a valentines day card for my wife, which was kind of a big deal for me, considering my meager artistic skills. I wanted to tell her not only that I loved her, but WHY I love her. You see, early in our relationship, before we were married, before the start of my “career”, I was as broke as they come, but I wanted to tell my wife how much I appreciated her faith in my potential. I also wanted to tell her how much I appreciated her character, strength, integrity, and her professional acumen. There was a lot for me to say, and I went at it like I do with most obstacles, by way of the frontal assault (hey, I was a Marine for eight years, ok?).
It all spilled out in a huge jumble, because I was feeling very emotional when I wrote it. To tell the truth, you’d look at it a wonder why anyone would still have that ugly thing fifteen years later…, but she still does.
Two years ago I found out I was pregnant with my son so Valentine’s Day was the first time we talked to him (in my belly)!
Last year hubby was out of town on Valentines.
But he was sweet and sent me flowers at work and then I got home and had balloons. He then sent me a very sweet email and called me.
We’ve always had a strict rule to never pay for flowers to be delivered or the crazy prices on Valentine’s Day. The only time my husband has broken either rule was the year I was pregnant with our first after we both struggled with infertility for two years. They were the best flowers ever!
Last Valentine’s Day we didn’t have one red cent! This year I’m getting him a new tungsten wedding band after 14 years of marriage. Do you think he’ll say yes again?

My husband sent me as many “i love yous” as would fit in a text message, then brought home roses.
I would love to win!
Valentine’s Day usually tends to get skipped over in my house since my birthday is just a few days before it, but the best V-day I can remember was when my Hubby arrived at my office with a rose and chick flick on dvd when I wasn’t expecting it. The best I have ever done for him was to write him a poem and give it on a hand made card. I was so nervous giving it to him, but he loved it!
My hubby is the romantic one … the sweetest Valentines was a special message on the mirror written in red lipstick. Who knows what this year will bring?
I remember several years back we were financially tight and unable to afford gifts for each other. I wrote him a letter so he’d know how much he means to me and so he’d know I hadn’t forgotten him on V-day. Hubby gave me the sweetest gift. He gave me some of his old Memory Sticks from his old computer that no longer worked. At first, I was stumped as to why he gave me Memory Sticks. But he explained, when we could afford a nice dinner or a sweet little splurge that we could share, I should take out the Memory Stick and hand it to him and we’ll create a lovely ‘memory’ together! You know what? I actually thought the idea behind it was far sweeter than anything he’d ever gotten me; the thought he put forth meant more than anything to me! Yes, we did create many wonderful MEMORIES! But I still cherish this gift and have the Memory Sticks in my jewelry box. Always there to remind me of my sweet husband and how we can always create memories if we put a little thought into it -even when you don’t have the money to spend on fancy things!
I’ve loved it when my husband has pulled out my craft supplies (not a normal routine for him) and made a homemade card for me, complete with a sweet message!
OK … you know what? This is really sad, but apart from the standard cards and occasional dinner out, our Valentine’s communications are pretty lame. We’ve always been too busy (in the 17 years of our marriage –sheesh) to do much other than the standard stuff. I guess I need to up the ante and put a little romance back in the relationship.
)
I can’t really think of anything really sweet between us and Valentine’s Day. But, I think I’ll go with that my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time), gave me a stuffed animal dinosaur that was red with some hearts on it. Why do I figure this must have been well received? I still have it in my memory box 16 years later. LOL Who would have thought that?
Just did a tweet: http://twitter.com/Angie76
My best Valentine’s communication came in a red, strappy, two piece little number and a bed and breakfast. ‘Nough said.
my husband added a few things to my to-do list on my desktop for me to find after he left for school. they reminded me that he thinks about me when i’m not around and looks forward to coming back home to me.
One time my boo gave me a worm ring.
Last year my husband was deployed to Iraq. I thought he totally forgot. I got a package from a jewerly store. It was a heart shaped necklace made from his birthstone. Letting me know he is always in my heart! It was the best ever.
My favorite communication for us happens all year long rather than just Valentine’s Day! We love to leave each other notes around the house all the time. It’s fun because you never know where you may find a note from your sweetie…they give me butterflies
I think I like it when my husband shows me love when it isn’t Valentines Day.We will be married 35 years and I was surprised that he actually did hear things I said
I had remarked that I would really like to play the congas like on the Emeril Live Show (I played percussion through college) My husband brought me home red congas to try, which we eventually bought.
Most times the hubby takes me out to dinner…but this one particular year we went to a little restaurant that was all decorated for the event with private little tables for two by candlelight. My husband wrote me a very sweet letter reminiscing about when we met and how his love had grown over the years (I’ll leave it there). The music was great – in fact, the woman at the piano was the same person who played at our wedding and she even played our wedding song. The memories that brought back!
I use eyeliners to create sweet nothings on the bathroom mirror so the first thing he saw in the morning before he went to work was a special Happy Valentines message from me~!
Of course I was peeking around the corner to watch his expression and he was grinning ear to ear so I know It pleased him. Then I tucked a special card in his lunch so it reminded him at noon that I was still thinking of him.
I tweeted at twitter about this site and giveaway here
