I knew someone once who hated Valentines and didn't want to support it at all. My opinion? It's a day that can be made into an occasion. I think we need more of those! This might have something to do with the fact I am a stay at home mom and I really like to be home. I don't get out much. :) I LOVE the anticipation of a date night! I am not the best gift giver as far as originality goes. I can copy and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Here are some things I have done and others I would like to try:
* valentines day survival kit. i liked THIS one.
* make your own card. ladies, use the lipstick and put kisses on it. gents, use your cologne. gosh, I love to smell Zach's cologne!
* write out "101 reason why I love you" or "101 reasons I'm glad I married you"
* and of course, "love coupons" for: breakfast in bed, back massage, an evening out, anything you want, 25 kisses, dinner for two, movie night (you choose movie or you choose who chooses) ...etc
* i'm not sure if this could be here in time but you could try a photo book. pictures of just you two or pictures of highlights from your life together. (i guess this is more intense and would be a better idea for your anniversary or something. but hey, maybe your anniversary is coming up! -that's why I included this idea. :))
* surprise your spouse with a day off! spend the day together!
* let your spouse sleep in-watch the kids and make her breakfast.

Great ideas......which one am I going to do? Oh. I wasn't supposed to ask you that was I.
Thank you so much for this post. I had no idea what I was going to do for my hubby and didn't want to spend a lot of money. But now I have lots of options so thank you!
