Valentine’s Day Ideas
Yes I know all the reasons why Valentine’s Day should not be such a big deal: after all why should you wait for this one day every year to tell your loved ones how much you love them and what if you don’t have a significant other in your life right now, etc.
But then there are so many reasons that you should celebrate Valentine’s Day: for one it is a good idea to make the extra effort to make a special someone feel special, and any excuse for a celebration is a good excuse, and so what if you don’t have that one special someone in your life, family, friends, any and all dear ones count. Show them that they count, that they mean something to you; be it by deed, word or indeed gift. This post of mine is about all the things that you can give that won’t cost you a thing; just the thing for the recession:
Write: Remember my idea about a gifting a blog? About how I would start a blog, and write down my thoughts and then give it as a gift? Well that idea is a great one for a Valentine’s Day gift as well. Or if you have good handwriting, write a letter or a poem the old fashioned way, using pen and paper, using some beautiful stationery perhaps.
Cook: Cook a meal. If you decide to pull out all the stops and go with smoked salmon or prime rib, this won’t exactly be free, but it will certainly cost you a whole lot less than a fancy restaurant. And the effort will certainly fetch you a lot of brownie points! And don’t think that food is the way only to the guy’s heart; it is as much the way to the girl’s heart! So go ahead and cook up a storm. If you’re wondering what to cook, look up my post about free recipe sites.
Sing: What kind of music does he or she like? You could arrange for a friend with a guitar to accompany your voice or you could go karaoke. Just a thought here: be honest, can you sing? At least hold a tune in a bucket? Because if you can’t this may well back fire!
Make something: Put together a photo album, paint something, make a card, or if it’s not too old fashioned for you, knit or embroider something and if nothing occurs to you, wait for my next post, it will be about actual gifts. At a discount….
