Valentines: Spoil Your Special Someone Without Breaking the
Bank!
Valentine's day is almost here, the big day continues to creep
upon us and of course as always ... we all scramble for the
perfect gift but there's always a problem -money! The big
problem with this holiday is that it comes right after Christmas
and just around the time all of us have paid those dreaded
credit card bills or right after we splurged on a big
extravagant gift for our special someone for Christmas.
Don't stress!
If money is the problem or you've spent thousands on a big gift
at Christmas time, you can still pull out a great gift because
Valentine's is all about love and romance, here's some ideas
that can help redeem you just when you need it.
The 14-Day Countdown
Just like the twelve days of Christmas slightly altered!
Beginning on the first day of February start leaving coupons for
a free full body massage, a bubble bath or how about a manicure!
Little extras can be thrown in for steamy lovers like a midnight
meeting at your favorite spot or a night out at a real hotspot
or something as simple as a shared burger down at the drive-in
on the corner.
The sky is the limit and this builds intrigue, not to mention
how creative it truly is.
The Valentine Dream Box
This is a unique idea that can start off on the first day of
January and can be used a million different ways; dreams for
each other could be a start. Simply take any kind of box,
preferably one with a lock on it so that there's no cheating and
make a slit opening just big enough to slide in a note. Use two
different colors of paper (pink and blue) used to write notes
for each other writing down dreams for the other person, special
thoughts, ideas about the love you have for the other and really
let you imagination do the work.
On the big day, open it together and watch the sparks fly as you
take turns reading to each other, mark the dates on each to stay
on track.
Go Old School
Then again some couples tend to be a little traditional
re-creating their first date or re-visiting the first spot where
they met or the place they realized they were hooked for life.
Even if it's not possible to go back to a monumental spot,
recreating is easy.
Think of various props such as napkins or food or specific
lighting or even music to set the mood and any other items that
can be obtained, let the magic take over ... this is a beautiful
idea.
The most important thing about Valentines Day is that a couple
can reflect on the past and look towards the future ...
together. Show your special someone just how much you love them
and watch the sparks fly, after all love and romance are two of
the most prized possessions that cannot be bought and your gift
doesn't have to be either.
