This year I decided to be a little creative and yet try to save a little money while doing something special for Valentine’s. I am going to do the 12 Days of Valentine’s. Starting 11 days before Valentine’s, I will leave little gifts for my loved one to find.
Day 1 – one balloon that says “I Love You”;
Day 2 – two coupons for various special favors or treats;
Day 3 – three love songs, some taped and some written words, that mean something special to us;
Day 4 – four love poems, I found on a postcard site and hand written;
Day 5 – five terms of endearment;
Day 6 – six chocolate candy hearts;
Day 7 – seven flowers;
Day 8 – eight heart shaped cookies;
Day 9 – nine message heart candies;
Day 10 – ten reasons (of the millions) why I love him;
Day 11 – eleven Hershey’s hugs and kisses;
Day 12 (Valentine’s) – twelve ways to say “I Love You”, languages.
I am still in the process of trying to figure out if I want to leave them in the same spot to be found at the same time every day, or if I want it to be more random. This was a lot of fun planning and didn’t cost much at all with our “poor student” budget. I think it will be very memorable.
