As the global day of love approaches, also known as Valentine’s Day, couples spend quite a bit of time to find ways to express themselves with a gift, card or a heartfelt word. Given the current economic climate, buying from local designers and keeping the gift budgets at bay, aren’t such bad ideas.
So what do you get your loved one?
Say it in words
Go back to old school traditions, and jot down how you really feel. Sometimes a love letter can brighten up someone’s day, and create a closer bond. To get you started, think about why you truly love him or her, what draws you to them, how your time together has changed you.
Not big on words? Choose a quote or song lyric that you shared memories on. Just make sure it’s heartfelt.
