I love love and cherish relationships and my love language is gift-giving, so for these reasons—I love Valentine’s Day. I also love that we get a fun, flirty holiday in the doldrums of winter.
I recently read an article called “Americans Need to Party More”, and it made me realize we should have more celebrations. Having a bit of fun doesn’t have to be expensive. You can cut out hearts from construction paper. You can make heart pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries. You can just write a love note and tuck it in your kid’s lunch. It can be as big or as small as you want it to be.
Growing up, my dad always got all us girls a flower and box of chocolates. It was as simple and easy as that. I loved it, and I love that Chris carries on that tradition with our girls. Last year I sent Heartsagrams from Framebridge to all of my friends for Valentine’s Day of a sweet capture they posted on Instagram. It was easy to upload pics online and send directly to them—they loved it!
If you’d like to give a little something to brighten Valentine’s Day for your partner, your best girl friend, or your kids, here are some of my picks this year. For our anniversary, Chris and I often gift experiences. But if Chris gets me a piece of jewelry for Valentine’s Day, that would be well-received—hint hint, if you’re reading this. 🙂
