Sick of flowers, boxes of candy or a dinner date? Want to do or receive something different this year for Valentines Day? Below find some fun ideas, that may be a bit out of the norm, for your Valentines Day.
Have the House to Yourself Night
If you are married, and have kids, there are usually not many opportunities to have the house to yourself. Your loved one can give you a “House to Yourself Night” gift card that includes a gift certificate to your favorite pizza place or take-out place, a bottle of your favorite wine or beverage, a pair of comfy pajamas, and some movies or books they know you’ve been wanting to see or read. Your loved can take the kids out for the night, even overnight if they dare, and you can enjoy the house to yourself.
A Heart for All Hearts
Most people can not resist an adorable heart card or heart shaped box of candy, but why not jazz it up by inserting a donation card to the American Heart Association. It’s a great way to spend your money as well as show the person you love how much others mean to you.
Cooking Lessons
Food is a great way to get to someone’s heart, but instead of going out for a meal, make it yourself. Whether you are a good cook and take it upon yourself to set up an evening of cooking at your house, or you sign up for a cooking class in your town; this is a fun and creative way to spend time together. Pick something you normally would not make, like a souffle, if you stay home, or Sushi, in a class, so that it can be a challenge, but a fun one at that.
Funny Gift For a Good Sense of Humor
A friend told us about this and we thought it was funny and adorable. My friend’s husband wanted to start trying for children, but he was not sure if she was ready. For Valentines day, he took her to dinner and gave her these cute pillows, one was a sperm and the other was an egg. They were pillows, so they were soft and cuddly and he wrote a note to her that said, “Are we ready to make it three?” She cried. And they were pregnant within the year. Just something fun, and light. Pack of Two Plush Toys: Egg & Sperm.
A Portrait Just for You
Whether you are in a new romance, or have been in one for a long time, there is nothing like a personalized painting. DNA 11 has a fabulous line of portraits called “Kiss Portraits” that are whimsical, sexy and romantic. They will take your kiss, from your very own lips, and put it on a canvas. You choose the colors, style and size and the company will take care of the rest. A great way to get personal or stay personal with your loved one.
