With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I can’t help but think of all the candy, red dye, and high fructose corn syrup that will be making its way through people’s homes. Hopefully, my husband will steer clear of any such ingredients and aim for something a little healthier for me, the kids, and the growing little one in my belly. Of course I don’t want to be rude and flat out tell him what to get or what not to get. Yes, I could drop a few hints here and there, or maybe leave out an ad or flyer for something that sounds good. But to be honest, I really hope he does something very small this year. We are planning a weekend trip to Epcot at the end of the month and I would like to celebrate with some of our favorite yummy treats there.
Just a few ideas for those of you who are looking for alternatives to the good ole’ box of chocolates and flowers routine…
Gift certificate for a massage or pedicure.
One free house cleaning (from a professional so it is done perfect).
Edible Arrangements (one of my favorites).
Take your favorite person to lunch instead of dinner to avoid crowds and a huge bill.
Take out from your favorite restaurant. (We did this last year, put the kids to bed and enjoyed
dinner from one of our favorite restaurants without the cost of drinks and tip).
Most of all, enjoy each other and don’t get caught up in the“commercial-ness” of it all.
