V-Day Ideas

 

Valentines Day is almost here!! I like to try to make Valentine’s Day special in a different way each year so it’s something exciting to look forward to! I’m always looking for ways to show Trev how much I truly appreciate him, so I thought maybe this year I would share some of the simple things that I like to do that you can incorporate into your Valentine’s Day to make the holiday more about showing your love than just finding another gift. (I also do the “5 senses” gifts every year and details of that will be coming soon)

 

1. 14 Days of Love – it’s not too late to plan a small gift or note for each of the 13 days of February leading up to Valentine’s Day! Go out of your way and make it unique each day so that he knows he is always on your mind.

 

1. Be better for him. Have you heard of the “Week of Extreme Nice?” It’s easy to take advantage of your significant other, and forget how happy they make you. The author of The Happiness Project spends a week being the wife to her husband that she always aspires to be by being extremely nice! I think it’s such a cool way to show your significant other how much he means to you and that you want to be your best for him! Get rid of your bad habits, be positive, and just treat him well!

 

1. What is your significant other’s love language? If you don’t already know, identify it or ask them, then base your day or gift around that! If they’re especially grateful for acts of service, plan to do as much service for them as you can to show your love.

 

1. Make it a day all about him. You will enjoy Valentine’s Day just as much as he will if you spend it doing what he wants because seeing the ones you love happy is the greatest feeling! Make him his favorite meal, play his favorite game, or give him a back scratch! I always like to cook a special dinner just for Trev and have his favorite drink.

 

 

Sometimes a gift can be so hard after Christmas, here are a few ideas to get you thinking!
