Valentine's Day Ideas

First and foremost, "Valentine's Day is not just to show, 'I love you", but rather, 'I love us..our relationship'..." 

How cheesy Hallmark is! BUT, it's true. Use Valentine's Day to celebrate your loving relationship. It's all about the LOVE, not the candy. But candy don't hurt. Do not stress about Valentine's Day. As women, 2Bit admits that a creative, sentimental attempt is plenty and perfect. It doesn't have to be pricey, just romantic.

I think both sexes will agree that ANYTHING homemade & sentimental is appreciated, such as:

~Picture album

~Scrapbook

~A poem

       ~Paint him/her a picture on a canvas(Hobby Lobby/Michaels for supplies)

                                     ~A framed picture (decorate the frame even)

~A song

                             ~Coupon Book (back rub, homemade dinner, dinner & movie, rented movie of his/her choice, night of dancing, day at the park, picnic, whatever he or she is into-you get the picture)

~Homemade Valentine card

~Breakfast in bed

~A favorite photo put on a canvas

~Homemade dinner/Candlelit dinner: need ideas? email 2bit for some din din options

~Take out by candlelight for those who don't cook

~ Go out to eat and have dessert either already done at home or ready to go in the oven...

But remember, Valentine's Day is different for everyone... If your honey is fine with just a card and a kiss from you, then don't go overboard... Be responsible, all you Lovers!!!
