We’ve all heard of the 12 days of Christmas, but there are no advance celebrations for the most romantic day of the year, Valentines Day.
Be creative. Do something really special for your sweetie this Valentines day. I am going to do the 12 Days of Valentines. Starting 11 days before Valentines day, I will leave little gifts for my Valentine to find.
I have done this before only at Christmas time. By the end of the fifth day, she couldn’t wait to see what was next. The anticipation was almost more exciting than the actual gifts.
So, I say, if you really want to impress her. Start with day day 1 and go through the list or get creative and create you own list.
Day 1 – one balloon that says “I Love You”
Day 2 – two tickets to a movie
Day 3 – three love songs, some taped and some written words, that mean something special to her. If you can sing give it a shot.
Day 4 – four love poems, hand write them. Tape one to the bathroom mirror, hang one from the car steering wheel, hide one in her purse last one goes on her pillow.
Day 5 – five green m&m’s, then you can share the rest of the bag :O)
Day 6 – six chocolate candy hearts
Day 7 – seven assorted flowers. (white, red, pink, purple, green, blue an orange) She know all thoughs colors means something.
Day 8 – eight heart shaped cookies, bake them your self!!!
Day 9 – nine message heart candies
Day 10 – ten “I love of cards”, write a short note in each
Day 11 – eleven Hershey’s hugs and kisses
Day 12 – Valentine’s Day!!! – say “I Love You” in twelve different languages.
So, what do you think? I am thinking, maybe I want to have her find them all in the same spot and to be found at the same time every day. Maybe I want it to be more random. We will see
This is a lot of fun planning and doesn’t cost much. If you want to get more extravagant then you can really give her some nice stuff. Necklace, clothes or a ring. Of course a Day of beauty is always nice but make sure you schedule lunch with her that day. (Ask me how I llearned that!!)
After the first couple of days receiving gifts, its not about the cost of the gift, but how well you know what she likes. It is a small effort for a very deserving person to be told you love them.
