Valentine’s Day snuck up you again, huh? ?
Though it’s just a few days away, there’s still time to plan something so sweet, she’ll think you’ve been planning it for MONTHS.
Breakfast in bed
There’s something indulgent and vacation-y about eating in bed. Get up early and make a special meal, complete with fresh-brewed coffee and mimosas. A love letter or handmade card with a pretty flower wouldn’t hurt, either.
Massages
Yep, the spa’s been booked up since Christmas, but it’s not too late to purchase a gift certificate for a couple’s massage. Package it with a nice bottle of prosecco and a bouquet of flowers, and you’ll be safe for another year.
Take a cooking class
Can’t make reservations at a nice restaurant? Sign up for a cooking class!. How fun would it be to learn how to cook a fancy meal together? Culinary schools, restaurant supply stores and high-end kitchen stores often have classes available, and though you may not be able to sign up for one on Valentine’s Day proper, it DOES show you made an effort. Bonus: You can make the meal you learned to cook together for future special occasions.
Get a pedicure
Pedicures are an easy indulgence, especially since walk-in mani/pedi salons are so plentiful. Pick out a cute pair of sandals and put a few magazines in the shoe box with the gift certificate for a complete package.
Put a Scent Circle or Car Bar in a cute bag
For friends, neighbors and teachers, put a Scent Circle or Car Bar in a cellophane or gossamer baggie. Add a few candies or flower petals for a cute, easy and affordable gift.
Hire a cleaning service
She won’t take this the wrong way, promise. Every woman would LOVE to have a magic fairy clean the house while she’s at work. Hire a cleaning service to come work their magic while she’s away so she comes home to a clean house. Be sure to score extra points with a vase of flowers and a bottle of wine on the counter!
Have a picnic in the living room
Nice music, nice beverages and nice nosh always score well, but up the cute factor and put your spread on the living room floor.
Make a playlist
Go through your iTunes or Spotify libraries and put together a list of songs that remind you of your love, or songs that are meaningful to you as a couple. It’s like an old-school mix tape, without the cassette tapes, effort or having to hit “record” when the song comes on the radio.
Frame a special photo
This one looks like it took a lot of effort and planning, but it really doesn’t. Go through Facebook or your phone and find photographic evidence of a special occasion in the last year, such as a birthday, anniversary or vacation. Order a print online and put it in a nice (silver) frame.
Give her your time
This one seems the simplest out of all of them, but it probably isn’t. A lot of couples will struggle to find time for each other as the relationship progresses. Children, jobs and hobbies can all get in the way of a relationship and stop you spending valuable time together just talking and enjoying each others company. While you may think that the best conversations can be those loving exchanges or those shared in the heat of a romantic moment (and those are absolutely important), so too are those conversations about real-life and day to day topics. Talk about how you spent your day, or what’s going on in the news. If you take the advice of experts, share your perspectives with one another on current events about politics, religion, or whatever it is that you might find interesting. Not only will this help you grow as a couple, it will also help you to become more open-minded when conversing with others outside of your relationship. So why not make some little ‘my time’ vouchers? They could be for 1 hour, for an evening, for a whole weekend or a mixture of lengths. This is a really personal gift that will mean a lot to her.
So there you go! Next year, set a reminder on your phone to contact your Scentsy Consultant and order something she’ll REALLY love: products from our Scentsy Body line in her favorite fragrance!
