- Make a card. The cornier the better. You can use sayings such as "We're a perfect match" and use a match box with only two matches left inside. Google is a great source for easy and effective ideas. The fact that you made the effort to make something from scratch is sure to impress.
- Make a book out of a deck of cards titled "52 Reasons why I Like/Love you." Write different reasons on each card. Bind the cards together with a ribbon and personalize the decoration of each of the cards.
- Make heart or X and O pancakes for breakfast in bed. Toast with heart shaped icing sugar also works a treat. If you want to get really creative, try your hand at a heart shaped pizza for dinner!
- Create a collage or scrapbook with photos of you as a couple. Plaster it with hearts and pictures of you and your partner in those moments that found you happiest and most in love.
- Share a bubble bath with heart shaped confetti, candles and incense burning.
- Plan a movie night with a collection that your partner loves, even if you are not in the least bit interested.
It can be easy to get caught in the trap of taking someone for granted, even if it was never your intention. Showing your love every day of the year should be a given, but it's not always something shown wholeheartedly. Valentines Day is the day you can make the effort that every other day may have been lacking. You don't have to spend extravagant amounts of money to make the day of the one you love.
