Valentine’s Day can get bogged down by expensive displays of affection, like dinners at fancy restaurants, elaborate gifts or complicated vacation plans. Sometimes we need to take a step back and remember that this holiday is a celebration of love and friendship, not dinner or diamonds. While pondering what you can give your loved ones on February 14, consider adding these simple and meaningful acts of kindness to your Valentine’s Day bucket list.
1. Volunteer for chore duty
Sometimes the smallest gestures can make the most impact. Surprise your significant other by taking chores off their hands, especially the tasks that are easily procrastinated (like cleaning out the back of the fridge). Make the workload a little easier (and much more fragrant) with Scentsy Clean products. Scentsy Clean products come in several scents, so choose your loved one’s favorite fragrance!
2. Send a valentine
Getting a premade greeting card from the store is efficient, but making your own Valentine’s card is a gift of your personal time and talents. Dabble in watercolors, write a poem, cut brightly colored paper into a heart or add doodles to your card. Even a barrage of encouraging sticky notes on the bathroom mirror works!
3. Host a Galentine’s Day spa
You don’t need to spend a lot of money at a resort or spa to pamper your friends and family. Make DIY foot baths, touch up your manicures, or whip up some quick facials. Add a tranquil, all-natural Scentsy Oil to your Diffuser to round out the self-care experience — maybe try a balancing scent, like Eucalyptus 100% Pure Essential Oil, or a calming scent, like Chamomile & Sage.
4. Give flowers to a friend
Flowers are a classic Valentine’s Day gift — and they don’t have to be the same-old roses every year. Take the traditional route with gorgeous fresh-cut flowers, or arrange a handmade bouquet of tissue paper blooms. Or, make things even easier by gifting a Scentsy Fragrance Flower for unwilt-able Valentine’s Day fragrance.
5. Keep sharing the love
Use your Valentine’s Day momentum to find new ways to perform small acts of kindness throughout the rest of the year, like calling a loved one, inviting friends over for game nights, or sending thank you notes. Love — for your significant other, family, friends or pets — can be expressed in many simple ways.
