14 days of valentine’s....... (GOT THIS FROM http://www.onelovelylife.com)

"If you’ve never heard of it before, the 14 Days of Valentine’s is.... Basically, from February 1st through the 14th, you come up with a small act of service, small present, or token of love to give to the person you love. The goal is completely selfless giving with NO expectation of reciprocation. So often, you can completely surprise the other person who isn’t expecting 14 Days’ worth of love and presents. You want nothing more than to make the other person feel loved, cared about, and appreciated. None of it needs to be expensive or over-the-top, though you can take it as modestly or as extravagantly as your budget and desire dictate.

WHAT THE 14 DAYS OF VALENTINES ARE NOT:

1. This is not a vehicle for you to dump guilt on your Mr. Wonderful if he is not the romantic type. If you are a guilt-dumper, change your ways or your are not allowed to play.

2. This is not a contest. There is no competition to see who comes up with the best ideas. All ideas are free for the taking. In fact, I encourage the sharing and taking of ideas. Your only prize will be a deliriously happy Mr. Wonderful (or Mrs./Miss....you get the idea).

3. This is not a build up for gifts. Do not expect a gift. This is for you to completely shower your Love with pure love. Completely selfless. You do not automatically deserve jewelry for doing this.


For starters, about half the people I know that do this try to incorporate the number of the day into the gift (i.e. TEN fingers to give you a massage, Dinner for the TWO of us, SIX ways to say ‘I love you,’ etc.) I’ll leave the clever wording up to you, but here are some ideas to get you started…

Love notes and tokens:

A handmade, old-fashioned valentine *bonus points for using doilies
A small container of “things I love about you”
A handwitten note or poem
A small booklet made with some of your favorite memories together
Hearts decorated with “I love you” in different languages posted all over
Homemade Valentine’s crossword puzzle (make your own here)
A valentine’s playlist for their iPod (you could match the number of songs to the date)
Gifts or Presents:

Everything for a movie night in or out (popcorn, a DVD, tickets, movie treats)
A date to get their favorite treat out (gelato, bakery treats, etc.)
Hot chocolate (you can even include heart-shaped marshmallows)
Bubble bath or Massage lotion
A favorite Valentine’s candy
Framed picture of you or your family for their desk
A book or photo album
Homemade coupon for something they need or want (Let’s go pick up ____ )
Acts of Service:

Shoulder rub or foot massage
Making the bed
Packing a special lunch (bonus points for heart-shaped things)
Cleaning up a bedroom, closet, or rooms around the house
Taking care of a nagging errand/task the other person has been meaning to (or needing to) get to
Polish their shoes
Changing a habit (I know one friend who promised to turn the lights off when she left the room for a week–her husband was so grateful)
Homemade Food and Treats (I could go on forever here):

Brownies, cookies, or other treat cut into heart shapes
Molten lava cakes
A cherry (or other) pie decorated for the occasion
Heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast
A favorite or indulgent food you don’t eat often, served for dinner
A special Valentine’s dinner (always my day 14 present) *bonus points if you include candles and something nice to drink

Feb 12 - Twelve Hugs and Twelve Kisses. Hershey's Hugs and Kisses (12 each!) in another cute little takeout container. DH shares all chocolates with the kids. As long as it isn't dark chocolate, I have no problem abstaining.

Feb 13 - Thirteen Ways To Say I Love You on Post-It Notes. Start researching languages now. Make sure you write down what language it is. If your DH speaks a foreign language, be sure to include that one in the thirteen languages. Be silly and go for pig latin. Be creative with drawings of ASL signs. Write it Korean/Chinese/Japanese if you know the calligraphy.

Feb 14 - A letter expressing how much I love him and a note to remind him to meet me for dinner at a certain time.
