Oh Joy! It seems like just yesterday I was blogging, “Loves me, loves me not”, and yet, here it is again… Valentine’s Day! Swell! I cannot tell you how many people have been commenting how they’re most definitely Not a fan of Valentine’s Day…however… if you are in a relationship, are a parent, a child, a friend, a student, etc…You just may want to change your tune and think of ways to remember this “special day”. Now personally, I’m not a big fan of chocolate and sweets (yeah I know, I hear that’s strange) and think buying roses when the cost is $150 is throwing money out the window…but a few thoughtful words and kind gestures and small heartfelt gifts can go a long way. You don’t have to spend a lot of $$$ to show someone you care and appreciate them…of course, you can also spend a lot of $$$ to show someone you care , but Not Necessary! Here are some ideas that won’t break the bank…and for Kevin O’Brien, I’ve listed some items at the end that will break the bank! Just Kidding! 🙂

VINTAGE VALENTINE – you can print these out onto heavy stock paper, and write your sweet nothings on the back.

WRITE A LOVE LETTER!

BLOW ME A KISS – how cute is this?!

ALL ABOUT YOU BASKET – this one is a tad dorky, but you catch the drift.

CANDY (for those who like sweets)

Make your own “Candy Bar”

HOME MADE GOODIES

Cupcakes…which I love, btw, and there is NOTHING cuter than High Heel Cupcakes! One word…Fabulous!

HOMEMADE TILE PICTURE FRAME (or store bought frame)

Great present idea. Buy a rough surfaced tile from Lowe’s (less than a dollar) and mod podge pretty scrapbook paper on it. Then mod podge picture over that. Let dry and wrap with a pretty bow. Easy and cheap! You can also include a small stand to set the tile on.

GO ON A VALENTINE’S DAY PICNIC (Weather permitting of course)

THROW A VALENTINE’S DAY TEA PARTY

If you don’t have the time to make some of the items I just mentioned, you most definitely can buy some very nice things. You can see I’m going with a Basically PINK theme here, but clearly you can go with Red or whatever color suits you or your loved one!

FLOWERS – Doesn’t have to be the standard dozen red roses…plus they are Way too expensive this time of year!

FANNY WANG PINK HEADPHONES

PINK TIE

PINK POLO / SHIRT

PINK RAY BANS

TECHIE IDEAS

PINK BOXERS

Pink Scarf/Shawl

Pink Watch – I received this from Kevin a few years back, and wear it year round.

PINK CAR…Not just for Mary Kay Cosmetics Employees anymore! And, no, Kevin did Not buy this for me. And I’m kidding about a Pink car and this pink Bentley, btw…even I have my limits!

Pink Sapphires!
