I love valentines day! I used to think it was over hyped by the corporations out there just to get our money (wow don’t I sound angry!) but now I love it, because I love any excuse to show the people I love just how much I love them.

I myself am a huge fan of cards. I know that might sound simple, but often the most simple things in life are the best. Not just the card though (extra points if it’s sparkly and/or pink) but what I want is for my valentine to write in it, describing how and why they love me. *gush* Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! So definitely get your girl a card!

As for gifts.. if she’s a minimalist (as in, she doesn’t like things, or extra stuff to collect dust) forget the usual flowers and get her a fruit bouquet. They’re healthy, colorful, and they come in shapes of flowers so it’s a win! Not a fruit fan? Get her a gift certiicate for the spa, be it a full body massage, a facial, pedicure or manicure, she will absolutely love it. I very rarely pamper myself to such an extreme of going to the spa, so when I get a gift certificate to have a me-day I just can’t refuse

If you’re strapped for cash but still want to show your girl how much you adore her, pick up her favorite supper, grab some wine and go all out and make her a feast. Don’t forget dessert, and extra points if you add candles to the table Maybe after dinner you can bring her into the bedroom (with candles, of course) throw on some slow sensual music and give her a full body massage yourself!

PS – If you’re wondering what to get your MAN… I’d suggest some racy red lingerie, orrr some smoking hot mind blowing latex for the bedroom!
