simple gifts for your Valentine

Love is the feeling that joins two souls and brings two hearts together. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to express your love to your family in the most extraordinary way. It is a special day and it becomes all the more interesting when you receive gifts and wishes from your loved ones. What are you preparing for them? These are some ideas!

He loves you and had done a lot for you. What about rewarding him with some love coupons? I’ve designed the coupons like this and already thought for new designs for next year’s use! The coupons I made are with validity dates. Well, you can make coupons with no validity date!

He’s your sweetheart. He’s the man of your dreams. Why not tell him what he means to you? Touch his heart in the most special way by doing him some love notes! It’s easy. Get some papers and start cutting out shapes you favor and write quotes or words you wish to tell him on it.

I guess handmade gift can best show our effort in preparing gifts. What about soap making? It’s easy! Follow the steps below =)

 

buy a soap

grate it manually or you can use food processor

add warm water and mix them until it forms a thick dough

get a mould or a cookie cutter and shape your soap. Leave it for dry. Remember to flip it so it dries at both sides!

 

Flowers express our feelings, when we fall short of words. Red rose speaks not only of love but it also expresses the deepest feelings and desires of the heart. Red rose symbolizes passion and longing. So what are you waiting for? Get some red roses for her! I have to say buying roses on Valentine’s Day is costly. Let’s fold roses for her. Of course, this is not going to be easy and it is time consuming!

Did you know? The amount of roses you give has different meanings.

What’s better than gifts and chocolates when it’s Valentine’s Day? Surprise your sweetheart with loads of gifts and some sweet delights, especially chocolates. 

Photography is great to keep moments of happiness to be remembered forever. Arrange your photos of your sweet moments together in a photo album and jot down what happened or simply write some love quotes next to it.

days representing love

Girls, don't you think this bouquet of flowers is lovely?

It’s time to be busy again! Have you have enough time preparing for the day? I don’t have very much time preparing. It’s a little hard since at most time, he will be here accompanying me. So I need to find time to get things done and hopefully everything will be done in this 24 hours since I only have a day left. What are you preparing for them? Handmade? Or did you just grab something from the store? I found something rather interesting and thought I would share it here.

Most of us celebrate Valentine’s Day (14^th February) and Chinese Valentine’s Day (last day of Chinese New Year). Both were celebrated differently. Girls are supposed to give chocolates to the guys they like on Valentine’s Day and guys who wanted to return their love would give candies or some other presents to the girls they like on White Day (14^th March). Well, I guess not many people celebrate White Day, except for Japanese and Koreans. As for Chinese Valentine’s Day, girls would ‘throw’ mandarin to the river with their name and phone number written on it while the guys will go ‘pick up’ mandarins on the same day. Many youngsters still practice this, mostly because they think it is fun! 

Do you know there’s actually a day in every month representing love? This is something I’ve read about:

14^th January – Candle Day

14^th February – Valentine’s Day

14^th March – White Day

14^th April – Black Day

14^th May – Rose Day

14^th June – Kiss Day

14^th July – Silver Day

14^th August – Green Day

14^th September – Music Day

14^th October – Wine Day

14^th November – Movie Day

14^th December – Hug Day

Interesting isn’t it? Share with me if you know more about these days =)
