Chocolate covered caramel hearts are laid out after going through the enrober at Daisy's Olde Time Confections Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015, in Twin Falls, Idaho. It's the time of year that owner Mark Huber, who owns the store along with wife Colleen, prepare for the approach of Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is synonymous with red hearts, roses, candle-lit dinners, and romantic gestures of all kinds. Unfortunately, despite our best intentions, Valentine's Day usually ends up with a last-minute purchase of some wilting carnations and a promise to go out for dinner in the next couple of weeks.

If you've dropped the ball on the last few Valentine's, then keep reading; we've put together five romantic hotel deals that will save you money and put tiny little love-hearts in your partner's eyes.

This year, treat the one you love to a romantic escape and show them what they really mean to you. With Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday this year, you can bet your bottom dollar that hotels will sell out quick, so we recommend booking this week if you want to ensure you get a room, especially at the rates we've found. And hey, once you've booked, you can sit back and enjoy watching all the chumps desperately flailing for a decent gift.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
