Surprisingly Creative Valentine"s Day Gifts For Couples
Valentine's Day is the time to truly celebrate our deepest love for those special people in our life.
Yeah, we have all heard that Valentine's Day was something made up by greeting card companies to turn a profit and there is no true religious belief behind it, but who cares? It is a holiday, so why not celebrate because love should be celebrated anytime, anyplace.
We have this special holiday to do just that, so let's make the most of it.
And since Valentines falls in the month of February and much of the world experiences cold, winter weather at that time, this holiday just seems to make everything a little warmer, brighter, and happier.
Valentine's Day is not only meant for lovers; on this day, all love is celebrated and rejoiced.
But when it comes to my husband, I always try to make this day extra special for the both of us.
Simply put, it is a wonderful time to celebrate your union.
And your valentine does not need to break the bank.
Last year, I spent $1.
50 on a neon crayon and scrawled "I Love You" in between the neon stars on the bedroom ceiling.
When I turned off the lights, the message appeared and it really touched his heart.
Ten years ago as a married couple strapped for cash, I made a coupon book that he could use and redeem whenever he wished.
Some ideas for the coupons could be making his favorite meal, giving him a back massage, or doing his household chore of taking out the garbage.
Of course, you can always surprise him with some tickets to a concert or sporting event.
Or a candlelight dinner for two can be very romantic and rekindle the loving feelings that get buried by the day to day drone of life.
You can really up the ante by taking a trip to an exotic location.
A colleague of mine arranged a trip to the Caribbean for her and her husband.
She got him time off from work, found a babysitter, bought tickets, packed their bags, and as soon as he got home, she told him they were going on vacation.
She said it was fantastic to enjoy the warm breezes and sunny weather when all the while it was snowing back at home.
Now, if you plan on sticking to something on the simple side, you can find printable valentines by searching on the internet.
You might even find an idea you never thought of.
More great ideas include putting some romantic songs on your partner's mp3 player, a box of chocolate, a bouquet of flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, or a poem on a handmade card.
There is one website on the internet that list a variety of many free to nearly free Valentine's gift ideas; however, there are a few that are expensive.
And if you have procrastinated on your shopping, you can find last minute gift ideas too.
Have a great Valentine!
