Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Each year I try to find a unique way to say I love you to my husband. I’m not a flowers and candy type of girl. Buy me something as simple as a CD and I’ll get more excited. Don’t get me wrong. I think flowers are beautiful, but they don’t last very long.
The first year the DH and I celebrated Valentine’s Day we’d
only been together for 5 months. He’d make trips to NY to see me and I made
trips to RI to visit him. We decided to keep the limit under $20. I think we
both broke that limit, but not by much.
Personal Creations has some really cool gifts for under $20.
That year I bought him a message in a bottle. I wrote him a message from my
heart. I gave him a box of chocolates, because the man loves chocolate, along
with Lindt’s chocolate. The message in a
bottle still sits on his desk after ten years.
He gave me the most adorable stuffed dog, chocolate and cute
pajamas. The most memorable part of that morning was he ran out to the market
to get stuff for us to make breakfast. When he returned he had a large steaming
cup of French Vanilla coffee from Dunkin Donuts. You’re likely saying coffee?
Big deal. It was a big deal to me.
The DH doesn’t drink coffee, didn’t have a coffee maker and
I can’t live without my daily dose. I didn’t mention it to him, nor did I ever.
I normally grabbed my coffee when I headed home back to NY. BUT he knew. He
even got the order correct. I’ll never forget that because it’s the little
things to me. He knows I’m not about the extravagant.
This year will be all about chocolates…quite simple.
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone. Hope your day is exactly
what you want.
