Did Valentine's Day sneak up on you? Even if you've already purchased a sweet for your sweetie and signed and sealed those tiny cards for your child's class, there's always room for a little something extra ... and if you really have forgotten somebody special, you need ideas, fast. Here are some quick last-minute su for the people closest to your heart.

For your child: Sometimes what kids want even more than chocolate is some extra TV time, a few song downloads, a break on chores.

(Okay. They want the chocolate, too.) Give a few of these printable coupons for a gift that will keep on giving, and throw in a motivating bookmark for a colorful, useful extra.

For your child's teacher: Want to show a little love to a good teacher this Valentine's Day? Slip a few teacher coupons in with a Valentine card for a special thanks. And don't forget all the other school personnel who help your child through the day, including bus aides and paraprofessionals and therapists. If you're sending treats in for the kids, make sure there are enough extra for distributing to these special school folks.

For your spouse: It may be that the best gift your partner can give you is to read more about special needs so you can share the burden and the research. So use Valentine's Day as an excuse to give a special-needs book as a gift. Since most monster-mega-bookstores are open early and late these days, there's still time to sneak out and pick up one of the titles in the Harried Parent's Book Club.

To narrow down the choices a little, check the galleries assembled specifically for moms and dads, or just go with the obvious: Married With Special-Needs Children.

For your support-group buddies: Want to tell that always-helpful parent how much you admire them? Need to cheer on someone who's feeling overwhelmed, or congratulate someone who's had a breakthrough? Love Notes for Special Parents offers 28 messages of encouragement, support, and empowerment, and each one has a link at the very bottom of the page that says "Email This Article." Send one to a friend with a personalized message, or print it out and frame it for a person-to-person gift.

For yourself: No one says you can't also love yourself a little bit on Valentine's Day. Take a break and have a laugh with some fun mini-posters, including "Take a Day Off,"A Special-Needs Parent's Wish List" and "IEP Meeting Alert Levels." Print them out, hang them up, and say a little thank-you to yourself.
