With Valentines Day being right around he corner I wanted to share some great activities and gift ideas for you and your significant other. I don't really celebrate Valentine's day, but I love taking advantage of the romantic aroma of the holiday. Lets be real, it can be so hard for couples to keep the romance alive, especially on a budget. This Valentine's Day don't think of it as a cheesy cliché holiday, but as an opportunity to be romantic and make your significant other feel special. I warn you that some of the contents in this post may make you blush or even giggle. So here are my top 5 gift/activity ideas for Valentine's Day:
1. Snuggle and a Movie Kit
There is something super romantic about being wrapped in the arms of the one you love. Create a basket filled with your favorite treats (popcorn, chocolates, or gummy bears), a blanket, a romantic film, and some bubbly (my personal fav Welch's sparkling cider). This takes a trip to the movies and brings it home for a intimate evening with no distractions.

2. Candlelit Indoor Picnic
Who says picnics can only take place outdoors? I love this idea because its such a great way to get away from the typical long waits of crowded restaurants. Its a way to really talk, reconnect, and display as much affection as you want in the privacy of your living room. What you will need for this: blanket, plastic Champaign flutes, sparkling cider, strawberries dipped in coolwhip, and your favorite mini sandwiches.

3. Cookie Jar Love Letter
If your special someone has a sweet tooth then this is the perfect gift for them. Make some of their favorite cookies and place them in a Mason Jar. Decorate the Jar to your liking and write a heartfelt love note on the jar. It's a perfect opportunity for you to tell that special someone why you fell in love with them or things you love about them today. This present will leave their tummy full of sweets and their heart full of love.

4. Baby Making Kit (Married Folks)
I personally recommend this gift for those that might want to spice things up a bit. For this kit your going to need some candles, massage oil, bubble bath, slow jams cd, and a do not disturb sign. I don't think this needs further explanation. Remember practice makes perfect!

5. Love Coupons
Last but definitely not least are the Love coupons, one of my personal favorites. Its a great way to get creative and cater to your special someone's wants and desires. The fun thing about these is you can make them sweet and practical like a home cooked meal of his choice or romantic and flirty like a full body massage. Its completely up to you. Below are some links to coupon book templates or you can just make some of your own. The best thing about this gift is that it's FREE. It's all about the sentiment so make it count.
