Valentines Day Already?!

With Valentines Day quickly approaching I figured it would be a good idea to give out some ideas to do with your loved one. For many college students’ money is always an issue. As much as we would love to spend $800 on a helicopter ride around the city or a $2000 Cartier necklace, it’s just simply out of the question. When planning your romantic valentine’s day it important to keep in mind a couple of key factors. How long have you and your significant other been together? How much are you willing to spend? Is your valentine getting you a gift in return? With these questions lingering in your head its almost impossible to find the perfect gift. I found out that the gifts with more meaning and less money tend to be the best option. For example giving your valentine a cute picture of the two of you framed, or getting a basket full of their favorite candy. As any girl knows the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so a cute basket filled with goodies and popcorn along with his favorite DVD is always a great idea. Another cute gift is a coupon book. They come in many different versions though; the naughtier ones which could be found in Spencers are cute if your Valentine has a kinky sense of humor. If you still don’t know what to get your valentine, the cliché chocolate boxes along with a dozen red roses is always an option.
However if you are willing to spend the extra dough, a nice romantic dinner in the city has always been a classic along with a horse and carriage ride around Central Park For the gentleman reading this, the way to any women’s heart is through diamonds, clothes or purses.
If you are the person who chooses not to have a Valentine this Valentines Day, a cute thing to do would be to invite all your other friends who don’t have a valentine and just have a girl’s night in. Eating chocolate and watching The Notebook has always been a favorite amongst my girl friends.
Whether you choose the cute macaroni framed picture of you two or have an expensive ride around central park, all that matters is that you spend Valentines Day with the one you love or the people who make life worth living.
