Facebook Messenger lets you send a heart-wrapped Valentine

It's not quite as good as a box of chocolates.

To add to today's Valentine's Day celebrations, you can now send a fun little Valentine-themed missive to your friends via Facebook Messenger. For today only, you can choose to wrap up your message -- be it text, sticker or GIF -- in a little present simply by selecting the heart with the arrow next to the compose field. When your loved one sees it, they can tap the heart-wrapped box and it'll burst into a flurry of hearts as the message is revealed (You'll see we chose an adorable otter sticker here). It's pretty cute, though it probably won't be enough to salvage you if you still haven't booked your dinner reservations.
