Yes, that day is just about here; while Valentine’s Day should represent one’s love, commitment, and devotion to their spouse, partner, or significant other—it all too frequently represents several days of pre-Valentine’s Day internal conflict. Are you driving yourself crazy on what to do for your special someone? You are? Why do you do that? I frequently do it too—stop it!
Guys, you want to be a hero with your Valentine’s Day offering as opposed to being the baboon that has sometimes plagued you over the years. You want to deliver an offering to your special someone that will give her bragging rights about the gift and demonstrate your caring manner. In this economic time perhaps an expensive gift is just not an option?
Gals, you want to be appreciated and do not want another lame last minute gift that shows zero thought and preparation.
What’s a person to do? There is a real Valentine’s dilemma; spending lots of money as opposed to spending lots of preparation time in creating a very personal gift. I like to write poetry for my wife. While I not really good at it, she appreciates my effort.
In this poor economy, and in many circles, it is cool to be frugal. Spend lots of money at Macy’s or Nordstrom if you wish—however, I’m going to go out on a limb here and state that your Valentine is more interested in you then they are your gift. Your Valentine will be ecstatic if you put time, thought, and innovation into your Valentine’s Day offering.
Remember, it is you that your Valentine wants.
Wishing you much enjoyment on Valentine’s Day, -Ed
