Everybody knows you're busy. Day to day life has you rushing from one place to the next and suddenly, Valentine's Day is here.

So just in case you haven't already found the perfect gift for the apple of your eye or need something to add on to the gift you've already picked out, we've put together this quick list that just might help!

All That Glitters

Simply Smashing! in downtown Campbell has studs that will light up any room. The Earidessence earrings are pretty Austrian crystal and come in loads of sparkly shapes and colors. 

"They're definitely a popular item," says boutique owner Deb Rohzen. "They really do sparkle. They're uber sparkly and once people see them on, they come back for more. They make a great add on gift."

Rohzen says that both little girls and their mothers alike have walked out with a pair, so really, they're great no matter what age your Valentine may be. Earrings are $7.95-$18.95.

Sticky but Sweet

Also at Simply Smashing! ... handmade Valentine Toffee. Nothing says "Be Mine" like a Valentine that's handmade and comes with a vintage-inspired tag. $8 a pack.

Give Her a Little Red and Pink

At 23 Skidoo, get your Valentine something that will remind them of this year's holiday all year round. All women's clothing in the color of love (red and pink) are 25 percent off through Feb. 14. So if you're looking for a little sweater (like the one pictured) or a pretty dress, here's a good place to check out. 

These Boots Were Made for Walkin' ...

In Style Shoes in downtown Campbell says there's nothing hotter than a pair of boots for your love. 

"They are still in," says shop owner Adrianna. "They are one of our hottest sellers."

Mention you read all about it on Patch and she says customers that buy one pair of boots will get the second pair half off through Feb. 17. Boots are $29.99-$100.

Delightfully Frosty

Frost Cupcake Factory has a sweet alternative to your traditional box of chocolates. All throughout the week, the cupcake factory will have cupcakes topped with flowers, sprinkles and other Valentine's Day-inspired decor.

Singles and by the dozen will be available at the store but Valentine's Day was the busiest day of the year for the cupcake factory in 2012 so customers are encouraged to order ahead by either calling 408-866-YUMM or emailng orders@frostcupcakefactory.com.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
