Almost Valentine's Day! (Simple Gift Ideas Too!)

Valentine's Day is next Monday...Only three more days until the 14th.

I hope you guys  have a great day, and don't mope if you won't be spending it with a significant other.  Just smile and know that one day, you'll find that person.  ;D

What bothers me about Valentine's Day is that it's so commercialized now.  Our school's been selling roses for three dollars each and everywhere, you see advertisements about how stores are selling great Valentine's Day gifts to give to other people.  Personally, I think it's better to make something yourself.  Not only will you save money, it'll also show that you truly care from the heart and that you took the time and effort, unlike others who would just run to the mall and come home with shopping bags galore.

These are some of my ideas for Feb 14 presents:

1.  Homemade cards with really sweet sayings can make a great impression.

2.  Bake some heart-shaped cookies and sprinkle them with a lot of love.  <3

3.  Flowers are great, but since they can cost a lot, try only getting a small number and wrapping them with ribbon and craft paper.  Add some personal touches and they'll make a great but simple bouquet.

4.  Candy with a small greeting card attached to it can look pretty and it is easy to assemble.

5.  Try making a collage full of photos of times spent together.  Also cut construction paper into little hearts and put them onto the collage.  Finish with glitter and sparkle.

But remember that no gift can ever compare to true feelings and consideration.  Let your special someone know how much you care for them this Valentine's Day.

If you like someone and you want to let that person know how you feel about them, Feb 14th is the perfect day to do it.  Find a nice quiet place and talk.  Who knows what will happen?

(And if you're single and proud of it like me, use Monday to cheer on your friends and wish them a beautiful day!  :D)

Good luck!

-Vociferously yours, Vicky.
