February is my most favorite month! Not just because I have a birthday during the month (That's definitely not it, as I move closer to 40.), a wedding anniversary (#9 this year) and Valentine's Day, I love it because I am filled with the cuteness of love for the whole month leading up to it and the month after. To me it is like Spring coming after the Winter. It's refreshing and fun.
This year we are trying some new things. With everyone struggling financially, we have decided to pick our chins up and get creative. Not only do we need it as a couple, our kids need it too.
That leads me to Valentine's Day. This year, instead of buying an expensive gift, try these creative ideas to show that special someone how much you love them. You'll be surprised at how much they enjoy the fun gestures. I know I plan to try a few...or all of them. Happy almost February!
#1 Go somewhere there is sand (or snow).
Write 'I Love You' in big letters in the sand.
Then, while crouching next to it, have someone take your picture. You can have the picture blown up and framed for your loved one.
#2 Get some rose petals. Spell out 'I Love You' in rose petals on your bed. Women love this one.
#3 Leave a message on your loved one's voicemail with a poem, and don't forget to say I love you at the end.
#4 Have a T-shirt made by Cafe Press or Zazzle that says, "So and so loves So and So!" Insert your own names, of course!
#5 Place little love notes, cartoons, and racy sayings around the house where your loved one can find them.
#6 Make a little coupon book for your loved one that has things they like such as massages, having a bath run for them, manicures or pedicures, anything that you know they would enjoy! Then when your sweetie really needs one of those things you can either do it for them, or pay for someone to do it.
#7 Buy a large clear jar with a lid at the dollar store. Fill it up with slips of paper, each one detailing another reason why you love your loved one. Then give it to your sweetheart on Valentine's Day.
#8 Write out I love you in Cheerios on your kitchen table the morning of Valentine's Day.
#9 Take a moonlit walk, just you and your loved one. Hold hands and walk slowly. This is one of the coolest ways to say I love you.
#10 Draw a heart somewhere your loved one will see it. Fogged up mirrors and windows seem to be favorites! However, if you have a board that you write chores or lists on, this can work just as well.
