happy valentine’s day!! i’ll let you in on a joke between marcus and i…when it comes to valentine’s day or other hallmark-y (is that a word??) holidays, we just like to do a date night rather than do gifts & cards. so we came up with our own way to exchange gifts.
here’s how to join in the valentine’s day fun:
step 1: locate card at store
step 2: grab you’re loved one and show them card (or gift) while saying “i was going to get you this card”
step 3: loved one escalates by finding even sillier, gushier or just plain ridiculous card…
step 4: repeat until they kick you out of target for boisterous laughter
it becomes a silly, fun and strangely romantic way to spend valentine’s (and not spend money!)
although, i have to say that i think all these would be cool (and more important…easy!) last minute valentine’s day gift ideas! or you can go for the “girlfriend of the year” title and do something fantastically sweet, romantic and cool like lillian from unstitched did for her guy! (he’s a lucky guy!!)
