NEW YORK With Valentine’s Day just two days away, purveyors of flowers, gifts and greetings on the Web are likely preparing for a surge in traffic from last-minute shoppers. If last year is any indication, the holiday for sweethearts should prove a critical sales period for operators of these sites.
