Alert! Alert! Valentine’s Day is officially approaching. The yearly questions are beginning to surface, what is he/she going to get me? What if he doesn’t like my gift? What if I am not being creative enough? Where are we going to dinner? What am I going to wear? Who will be my valentine this year?
Trust me all these questions are running around everyone’s minds right now, including mine. On the plus side of this stress we have 10 more days to mentally prepare ourselves and plan ahead. So in the meantime let’s relax and look at other options that are affordable, romantic and memorable.
1. Don’t worry if your valentine will like your gift or not!
You always want to get the ultimate gift for your valentine, as you would expect for them to do the same same for you. Let’s be realistic, sometimes that gift is overly expensive or out of stock so it feels impossible. So instead of going out of your way to find something you are questioning if they’ll like why not both of you make a list of things that are meaningful to you both of you and look for those little things. You can also make a collage of photos of both of you and put them in a frame, who does not love looking at old photos and going down memory lane.
2. Don’t worry about where to go for dinner.
Let’s face it your favorite restaurant is all booked with reservations and now you are resorting to your local Cheesecake Factory with a wait time of two hours. Instead of wasting time in the two hour wait, why not create a picnic basket with your favorite food and wine (if you are 21 and over of course).You can take that picnic basket and a blanket and take it to a place with a gorgeous view or a lovely park. It is inexpensive and very intimate with just the two of you and on the bright side you will not be waiting in line, score!
3. Don’t worry if you don’t have a valentine.
You know who the best Valentine is? It is yourself! You and everyone deserves to be spoiled on Feb.14 so get up from the couch and turn that frown upside down. Go do your hair and makeup and put on your favorite outfit. Call you single group of friends and meet up and do your own thing and watch movies and have plenty of food. Are you the only single one from your friends? Then go out and spoil yourself at the mall get yourself the latest Fenty Beauty product and make the most of your day because you and everyone deserves the best Valentines Day.
