How To Make Valentine’s Day The Best Day Ever
With Valentine’s so close, you’ll want to make it unforgettable. Instead of just flowers and a box of chocolates, here are some tips to transfer Valentine’s Day into a day you and your honey will never foget.
First, let’s look at how Valentine’s Day started. There are many legends associated with Saint Valentine. According to one legend, Valentine was a priest who lived during the third century in Rome. He continued to marry couples in secret after Emperor Claudius II ruled that single men made better soldiers than married men so he outlawed marriage. When Valentine was caught to be breaking marriage law, he was sentenced to death.
And that brings us to what you can do to make Valentine’s Day unique and special. Pick your Valentine’s Day cards well in advance. Don’t leave it until the very last day because more often than not the most popular cards will have been snapped up. Go ahead and pick two cards that are both romantic and funny. If you are lucky enough to find 3-D cards, definitely choose one with a romantic theme. Don’t simply sign the card and leave it at that. Write a lovely and romantic note to go with your cards. Your honey will appreciate the time and effort you take to make the cards special.
If you have the time, giving a home-made card is even better. You don’t have to be a painter as talented as Waterhouse or a poet like Shelley to make your honey swoon. Show your feelings as honest as you can, and ‘hide’ the card in a place where your partner can find it easily.
If you have the time and can get your honey out of the house long enough to pull it off, arrange your gifts around your home with clues so that your honey has to search for them. The presents you give don’t have to big or cost a lot of money. Something like a box of heart shaped chocolates, a sweet coffee mug, vibrators, or a lovely pair of earrings work just fine. Leave messages showing clues and where to look for the next surprise. Use your imagination to hide things and your honey will enjoy looking for your gifts. Enjoy the surprise when they discover the vibrators, mouse mat, and earrings.
Put on some chillout music to create a romantic atmosphere and fill your bath with hot water and scented bubbles. Stock your bathroom with lit candles, burning incense, waterproof and silent vibrators, and fresh, clean towels for a romantic soak. What better way to wash away your work day woes than in a warm and scented bath with the person you love. The silent vibrators also come in handy to add a little zing to your bath time.
Beat the restaurant crowds on Valentine’s Day by cooking your own meal. For fun, prepare red food like steaks, beets, crab soup, red peppers, spaghetting with tomato sauce, and red cherry cake for dessert. A table covered with red food will look fantastic and set a romantic ambience with all the red colours. Just dont forget to put your heart in it. While you are enjoying your meal, feed your honey from your plate. Move slowly and enjoy every morsel of food you eat. The very last thing you want to do when having a romantic dinner is to eat too fast and not make it last. Enjoy every single bite.
When you are relaxing in the living room, try some fun games. Create a series of cards with instructions that both of you have to follow, such as “give a foot massage” or “perform a sexy dance”. Imagine the surprise on your honey’s face when you hand over a few sex toys. Sex toys make great Valentine’s Day gifts. A silent vibrator is even better because it gives you privacy. You won’t have to worry about your flat mates hearing you when you use silent vibrators. As candy has always been very popular, try creating your own. Chocco truffles are very easy to create and there are so many recipes in the search engines. When in doubt, buy some candy from a chocolate shop, and don’t forget the candy hearts!
Valentine’s Day has and always will be an unforgettable day to share with a loved one. Make this years Valentine’s Day a very special one with the unusual but original suggestions in this guide. So pop out the champagne and homemade chocolate truffles, and enjoy a romantic day!
