"Two days to go and I’m stuck in my bed,
Critical man-flu has gone to my head.
How can I show her that she is the one?
Can’t trail round the shops with my energy gone.
Time is against me, I’ve left it too late,
To get her a present and ask for a date.
The answer is Prezzybox, it dawns in a flash,
Great gifts are delivered for not too much cash.
With a click of the mouse my spirits are lifted,
The choice is so wide and the buyers so gifted.
It arrives on the day, and my darlings delighted,
Her heart warms to me and my love is requited."

"Remember babe, when we first wed We couldn’t wait to get to bed
Your bra, my boxers on the floor, The half an hour - and up for more!
But kids and nappies broke the spell As knackered into bed we fell
And teething toddlers, cheeks flame red
Would lie between us now instead.
But all things pass - the kids have grown
We’re empty nesters, birds all flown
And nowadays it’s me and you
That’s something we’ve looked forward to.
And just like back when first we wed,
We still can’t wait to get to bed
So Valentine - let’s raise a toast
To doing there what we like most.
That’s crosswords, telly, crisps and wine,
Rioja’s perfect, Merlot’s fine
A paperback and chocs are bliss
And as we fall asleep - a kiss.
I love you babe - I always will
And though we’re way past youth’s first thrill
You’re stll the best thing in my life,
My Valentine, best friend and wife."

"That day has come around again We singletons all fear,
And I was kinda hoping They might cancel it this year,
'Cos I'll sit by my letterbox With nervous apprehension
And end up like a nervous wreck, With rising hypertension.
Does anybody love me, Or will I be disregarded?
Will the postman need a helper 'Cos with cards I've been bombarded?
I think I know the answer, A way of dealing with my dread,
I'll crawl back up the stairs again And hide all day in bed!"

"I need a man
-Who has the body of Russell Crowe, not Russell Brand.
The charm of Sean Bean, not Mr Bean.
The looks of George Clooney, not Wayne Rooney
and the discretion of James Bond, not James Blunt.
He must have the voice of Pavarotti, not Pasquale.
The talent of Gary Barlow, not Ken!
I really want to meet a date,
So please find one for me,
And Valentine's Day will be
One I Love and not Hate"

Some Poems by the Prezzybox Staff...
"As a young girl I fell for a boy,
My heart was a flutter with happiness and joy,
But alas this boy would never be mine,
As the boy was Johnny Depp with looks so divine,
Oh Johnny you're so incredibly hot,
I could just eat you up the whole bloody lot,
Unless we meet in a future life,
I just have to settle for being someone else’s wife..."
Bianca - Creative Director
"Every year around this time,
We celebrate St Valentine.
Everyone expects their partner to buy
Some sappy gift to make them cry
True tears of love you see,
But why?
I prefer to celebrate
another day, the greatest date!
For right before the day I hate
It's My Birthday! (and it rules)
"
Kat - PR/Marketing Assistant
"Roses are red, violets are blue, you are a big flump... but I still love you!"
Nicola - PR/Marketing Assistant
