Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

To celebrate or not to celebrate?

Valentine’s Day has never been a big thing for us.  I mean if I want chocolate, I just buy it! My fondest memory of celebrating Valentine’s Day was our first one together. It’s a fond memory because it was ridiculous. My hope is this Valentine’s Gift Guide will help you, because a simple gift would have been a much better idea!

Happy First Valentine’s Day…

I don’t even remember how long we had been dating at that point, however for our first Valentine’s Day I wanted to do something special for my man. Well, that turned into me cooking dinner at around 10:00 at night because Jose was working. I decided on bacon wrapped filet and shrimp cocktail. I’ve always been a decent cook, but I was so nervous that night I burned the heck out of my hand on my cast iron pan.

Since I didn’t want him to know I pretended it didn’t happen, set the table
and served the yummiest meal ever. The problem was, it was so uncomfortable we didn’t even know what to say to each other. You see, back then we were grab a plate and curl up on the couch kind of couple. Not sit at table and eat fancy food kind of couple.

At one point my future hubby looked at me and I asked if we could just go
sit on the couch like normal. We laughed and it thankfully did just that. I
wish I would have realized then that a simple gift and a night of cuddles would have been the best first Valentine’s Day ever.

A gift and a cuddle…

Here are some ideas for all the ladies… which is probably you! So, feel free
to forward this on to your special person or just print it and put a sticky
note that says “buy this”.
