Inexpensive Ways To Treat Your Spouse This Valentine’s Day
Yesterday, I asked for some of your ideas and traditions for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m going to share with you some thoughts for little, inexpensive touches that can make this year’s V-Day a little more special.
Spend some time with friends. We’re blessed to have two other couples that we are extremely close to. we celebrate birthdays and most holidays with them, and they are definitely our extended family in a lot of ways. While both couples will most likely have dinner plans of their own, we’re considering offering up a group drinks excursion later in the evening.
Wake up to a loving sight. Cut out some paper hearts and string them with fishing line over the bed, so when your spouse wakes up there’s love all over the room! If you can’t do this without waking them up, string them all over the bathroom and let them go first!
… through the stomach! Bake some cookies, but use themed cookie cutters to make hearts, lips, bows and arrows and more! Add sprinkles and red frosting for an even more festive touch!
Make your spouse breakfast in bed! Take the top off of a tv tray and bring up some coffee, bagels, muffins or even cinnamon rolls. If you can splurge on some bed trays, all the better!
Go for a walk. Even if it’s snowy and cold in your neck of the woods (it sure is in mine!), taking 30 minutes to bundle up and go for a walk around the neighborhood, hand in hand, is never a bad idea. It’ll automatically slow down your day and give you a chance to re-connect.
Give the gift of time. If you’ve got kids, and you know your spouse has been craving some alone time, taking the kids to the zoo, children’s museum, or skating for a few hours to give your spouse that alone time would be a tremendous gift!
