Valentine's day

The 14th of February — it's the most romantic day of the year full of romantic gestures, gifts, flowers, candlelit dinners and declarations of love.

For some it's a waiting game — will they or won't they get a card in the post or a beautiful red rose from a handsome stranger? For others it's a day better spent with mates down the pub.

So whether you're looking for love, have found 'the one' or are a total V-Day cynic, jump onboard the msn New Zealand love train for romantic recipes, lusty love ideas, saucy sex tips and some frolicking, flirty fun.
