You can tell Valentine’s day is getting closer when majority of the candy and teddy bears are getting scarce in the aisles of stores.
In elementary school, most of us weren’t interested in the boys but more in the candy and the amount of cards we received from our class mates. The perspective changed for most students coming into middle school and high school wondering if we would even get a secret Valentine or a date.
Even though Valentines may be dreadful to people who are single, it also may be a little overwhelming for couples who are undecided on the gift to get their boyfriend or girlfriend. 61% of men said they planned to buy flowers this year, while 50% of females said that they would buy candy for that “special someone” according to mashable.com.
You could never go wrong with flowers or any kind of candy. For something more sentimental on Valentines day, personalizing a gift would make it even more sweet. For example, you could buy a Teddy Bear with a T-shirt on it having a sweet quote or you could bake them Valentine day Cookies with a note attached to it. But make sure that if you are planning to order something, to order in advance so you will not have to worry if it shows up on time.
If you want to buy something more expensive, you could buy a heat shared necklace or bracelet for your girlfriend. Another idea to make this day romantic is having a candlelight dinner or go see a movie of some sort.
There are endless ideas on Valentines day but don’t get caught up in all the chaos and forget the true meaning of February 14th.
