For the next several days I will share some inexpensive ways
to celebrating Valentine’s Day. It does
not have to cost you an arm and leg fellas. If you use just a little effort and
creativity you can knock her socks off for very little money. Here are few ideas
for you:
1)
Create an indoor picnic with available props
(The Dollar Stores have cute themed items such as placemats, balloons, heart
shaped plates etc..) Spread a tablecloth or a sheet on the living room floor in
front of a lit fireplace if you have one or dim the lights light a few candles
and prepare a spread of finger foods, cut up fresh fruit and cheeses, and other
delightful treats with wine, or sparkling juice in flutes. Unwrap a few
chocolates and feed them to her.
2)
If you are technically inclined, make a
slideshow of photographs of the 2 of you set to her favorite love song or songs.
This one costs no money and will mean the world to her.
3)
Burn a CD of her favorite love songs or make a
special playlist for her (and your) iPod. Make sure that all of the songs
celebrate love and express your love for her.
4)
Create an “At Home Spa” night for her. Run a
bubble bath, fill it with fragrant oils, light candles around, sprinkle a few
rose petals leading to the bath for a special touch. Afterwards, treat her to a
manicure, pedicure and massage. Make sure that you give her a few uninterrupted
minutes to enjoy some time alone while she soaks. Don’t forget to heat up towels
in the dryer before you dry her off J
5)
Make homemade chocolate-covered strawberries: Melt
a package of chocolate chips and a TBSP of vegetable oil in a bowl in the
microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir the chips and microwave for 15 second
intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Quickly dip the strawberries in
the chocolate and place them on waxed paper or on a plate sprayed with Pam
cooking spray. Or you could place the chocolate in a small ziplock bag and snip
off the corner and drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries. Refrigerate for
several hours until chocolate is firm.
Stay tuned, I have a few more ideas for you… Smooches.
