I am a big sap, I love, love! I walked down the aisle to Beatles All You Need Is Love. But I am really not a fan of the consumerism around Valentine’s Day. I think there are lots of ways you can show the people you love them (everyday) without spending money on flowers, chocolates and cheesy gimmicks. I know, ba-hum-bug. Anyways, if you feel the say way, I thought you may enjoy these Valentine’s Day Ideas Without The Commercialisation.
Notes, Cards, Gifts
These ideas require a little time, but show a lot of love.
Valentines Heart Attack
I love this idea. Put up special comments about what you love about your kids and partner on their bedroom door. The suggestion is start putting some up each morning leading up to Valentine’s Day but imagine your kids delight to wake up on Valentine’s Day to a door like this. Goose bumps!
