What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Along with showing your love for someone every day of the year, Valentine's Day is a day set aside where "love is in the air"! I have compiled a list from both men and women of items they enjoy receiving on Valentine's Day. Many responses were a quiet night together! Many have stated that they celebrate on a different night so they aren't in the middle of the chaos of everyone going out to dinner. Here is the list that I compiled with people's suggestions throughout the month.
For Women:
- Breakfast in bed
- Dinner & a movie
- homemade cards & gifts
- Flowers & a bottle of wine
- Hotel overnight/Bed & Breakfast
- Jewelry
- Day out planned around places partner enjoys (example: coffee shop, shopping, favorite restaurant, dancing)
- Spa Gift Certificate
- Surprise night on the town
- Skating, sledding & hot cocoa date
For Men:
- Cologne & homemade card
- Outdoor equipment (hunting or fishing)
- Boxers, ties, watch, or clothing item
- Homemade dinner & dessert
- Fancy Alcohol or favorite beer
- Dinner out at favorite restaurant
- Car wash coupons
- Message
- Tools
- Comedy Club date
Above are just a small gathering of ideas given to me by others. You know your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend the best. Choose items that you know will be special to that person. For a mom with young children it may be as simple as time away doing what she enjoys, a quiet candle lit bath without any little ones knocking at the door, time to read, or do a craft they enjoy. Whatever it is that you choose, enjoy this day of love!
