These are my ideas, I gave these to my husband
for 3 different Valentines Days in past...
1) I found old games at garage sales (bought at next to
nothing prices) and saved only the game pieces and cards (Monopoly was a score)
I used the Monopoly "chance" cards - wrapped in red and listed for my hubby how
he could exchange the card for, get out of an argument free, forgetfulness free
card, I'm sorry card, etc. along with a handmade Valentine's card to him saying
how I was glad I was married to him.
2) One year I made and laminated 2 ea. (2" x 3")
cards printed with FREE PASS anytime, anywhere --were in small fine print and
added this to my blonde brownies in heart basket. He has a pass to anywhere
anytime (one was in case he lost one of them.) He really liked that card!
3) I found a small red mail box, addressed it to
him with the flag up, and made up my own coupons (free manicure, free facial,
free foot rub, free I'm Sorry, free day with the guys, free wash and wax, free
'I don't want to have to go to ________, free to do what I want to do day,etc.
He used them all up for his special occasions! And I got the benefits of all
those coupons too, because I love doting on him!
You can be creative and cost-conscious at the same time.
One of the
least romantic days of the year is Valentine's Day. Yes you heard me correctly.
The majority of men act like robots, purchasing flowers and chocolate for their
sweethearts because that is what everyone else is doing. Many people celebrate
the day out of obligation rather than celebration.
Here are some ways to celebrate Valentine's Day a
bit more romantically and creatively. Also check out our ideas on creative
Valentine's Cards (click here) and our selection of Valentine's recipes, trivia,
clip art, games and more.
