Valentine’s Day is the day for lovers, get your special someone the perfect gift with these tips.

Step One

DO NOT buy red roses and chocolates. Everyone does this. This says, I didn’t do any thinking and I’m not at all romantic.

Step Two

Send the gift to their workplace. Women LOVE getting gifts at work to flaunt in front of the other women. If you are going to wear something sexy that night for your man, send it to work that day, so he can build up the anticipation.

Step Three

You could also send a note to work saying suggesting what you’ll be doing later. Something like a clue to what date you are taking her on, or something suggestive to him.

Step Four

Send them on a treasure hunt. Start the day with a picture or note next to their bedside or on the bathroom mirror telling them the next place to go. At the end of the day, have them find you on the bed with candles lit, or at a private candlelight dinner for two.

Step Five

Be creative. Most women are much more into the thought than men. They want a romantic story to tell their friends. Most guys, on the other hand, will want something physical, be that a sensual massage or a great dinner. Just really think about how you’re special someone is unique, and show them that you care.

Use your imagination to create a few more ideas to make this the Best Valentine’s Day Ever.

Expressing love and affection is what Valentine’s Day is all about. Some people feel that spending a lot of money is the way to do this; but you can have a wonderful Valentine’s Day without breaking the bank. As long as you are expressing love to those around you, Valentine’s Day can be done successfully on a budget. Read on to learn how.

Step One

For your kids–Do what you can to make this day special, especially if it falls on a weekday. Cut out red hearts out of construction paper and cover your child’s door with it, creating a “Heart Attack.” Or, leave clues on the paper hearts for a scavenger hunt around the house, ending up in the kitchen for pink pancakes for breakfast. Tuck a handmade Valentine in their backpack or lunch to discover at school. Give your kids an “I Love You” coupon book with cool trade-ins for a “Get out of chores free” card or a “Stay up 1/2 hour later” coupon.

Step Two

For your kids’ classroom party–The dollar store is a wonderful place to purchase holiday-related items. Rather than pick up a pack of plain old paper punch-out Valentines, try something different. Buy a few packs of themed pencils or erasers (usually sold in packs of 8 or 12) to pass out. Look for inexpensive Valentine candies to contribute, or volunteer to coordinate the games, which is often much less expensive than distributing treats.

Step Three

For work–Most workplaces have some sort of treat table on Valentine’s Day. Do your part by bringing treats that you can make at home that are inexpensive yet plentiful. Try making marshmallow rice cereal treats or cake mix cookies instead of swinging by the bakery to buy expensive goodies in red and white. Another option is to volunteer to bring the napkins, plates or cups for the office snack table. Often these items can be purchased for less than the cost of treats and you are still contributing. If your workplace is having an actual party, volunteer for the games and contribute your creativity instead of food.

Step Four

For your spouse– and words can convey much more to a loving spouse than expensive jewelry and fancy dinners. Tuck a love note into their jacket pocket, purse or lunch bag for them to find. Gifts can be inexpensive and meaningful without costing a lot. Purchase a new book by their favorite author with a coupon for a lazy uninterrupted afternoon for reading. Give them some bubble bath with the promise of a full hour in the tub, alone or with you. A CD mix of their favorite tunes or composed of love songs will be a sweet and thoughtful gift as well. For the final touch, do a deep clean of the bedroom and set up candles around the room. Lay a single rose on their pillow with a love note, written from the heart. Let your spouse know how much you appreciate all they do and how attractive you find them. Write anything else that is special and tender between you. Most couples will find a way to finish up Valentine’s Day in their own intimate way after that.
