From the Heart

When you're strapped for cash to buy a gift but still want to show you care, DIY can be the way to go. And no one DIYs it better than Martha Stewart. Head over to her site to check out 55 ideas for handmade Valentine's Day gifts that will wow your sweetie with their adorableness. Plus you'll get bonus points for putting in effort (which is much more heartfelt than dropping $50 on flowers anyway).

Sleep Well

Ever since I wrote an article about the importance of sleep, I've been logging seven or eight hours a night (a modern miracle, let me assure you). Fortunately, as long as I make the time for a little shut-eye, I can usually get it, but if you have trouble sleeping at night due to breathing issues because of snoring, colds, or allergies, Breathe Right strips may help you. Find out by getting two free samples here.

Good Buy at Buca di Beppo

Up for some ravioli, lasagna, bruschetta, pizza, stuffed shells, or chicken parm — in family-style portions? Mmm ... Italian food is the best. Writing this is making me hungry, so I'll skip to the good part: Through Feb. 7 (that's this Sunday), take $10 off any $20 food purchase at Buca di Beppo. You can't go wrong with that. You'll leave full, happy, and with $10 more than you would've had if you didn't have the coupon.

The restaurant is also offering free chocolate-covered strawberries for those who visit on Valentine's Day. The limit is one per guest, but maybe if your date is really nice, you can score his or hers.

Berry Delicious

I'm on a no-candy-allowed kick, and let me tell you, for a lifelong candy addict, it isn't easy. I still get plenty of cravings for something sweet, but luckily, instead of finding my mouth watering for Skittles these days, berries are filling the void.

If you're looking for a berry-based gift for Valentine's Day or just because, check out Shari's Berries, which offers its signature chocolate-covered strawberries, plus cookies, cakes, cupcakes, caramel apples, and more. To get $10 off items over $35, use coupon code DVA9B. For 20 percent off items over $35, use coupon code DVA9A. Offer expires April 1, 2010.

Go Fish!

Growing up on the water, I've been fishing a time or two — and I can't remember ever catching anything. That's not an issue with Roger Morgan's Striper Guide Service. The professional guide guarantees you'll catch a fish, or you don't pay anything. All bait and tackle are provided, and the fish are filleted and packaged at the end of the trip.

If a spring fishing trip on Lake Texoma sounds fun to you, you'll definitely want to check out these stellar coupons — $100 off a trip with up to five people, and $200 off a six-person trip. Reel 'em in!

Pie in the Sky

I've only eaten pizza in Chicago once, but it was delicious. For a taste of that famous style here in Texas, head to Chicago's Gourmet Pizza in Las Colinas or Plano. The restaurant serves up gourmet pizzas with names like The O'Hare ("it's so light, it could fly away"), John Belushi ("John would never throw this one away in a food fight"), and Dennis Rodman ("a colorful pizza with big attitude").

Save $3 off any large or $2 off any medium pizza with these coupons.

Blizzard Mania

Sign up with Dairy Queen's Blizzard Fan Club and get a free Blizzard with the purchase of a Blizzard. I'm still mad at them for taking away the Nerds Blizzard 10-plus years ago, but I admit there are some other good flavors.

Farm Fresh

For handmade, artisinal products straight from a farm, Beekman 1802 has shoppers covered. They sell everything from chemical-free goat-milk soap and beauty products to craftsman-made decor and heirloom linens. Save 10 percent off your order by typing "valentines" into the coupon code at checkout.

Kick Some Butt

Looking for a gym experience with a little less elliptical action and a lot more punching? Guy Mezger's Combat Sports Club gives you just that, featuring kickboxing, boxing, Muay Thai, self-defense, freestyle martial arts, and more. The 7,000-square-foot Addison facility's programs are run under the watchful eye of five-time world champion Mezger and incorporate exercise, drills, safety tips, and a realistic approach to self-defense situations.

For the next six hours, you can get a one-month unlimited pass to the sports club for just $15 — that's a 90 percent discount! The gym welcomes kids (ages 5 and up) and adults, so go check it out for this low fee while you can.

Spreading Beauty

Follow a group of American hairdressers as they travel to post-Taliban Afghanistan to teach the locals cut, color, and perm techniques in The Beauty Academy of Kabul, a documentary being shown at UNT on Wednesday, starting at 5:30 (get the details here). Save yourself the $10 it would cost to go to a theater, and watch a movie that the LA Times said was "a profound reminder of the things that make us human."
