Love is in the Air: Thoughts about Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is almost upon us, a day that celebrates love and romance across the world. Whether you are happily in a relationship or you are yet to find your special someone, Valentine's Day offers an opportunity to show love and affection to the people around you.

The only problem is that it can all become a bit of a cliché .  A dozen red roses?  Chocolates?  Dinner for two at a fancy restaurant?  I’m sure everyone who’s ever celebrated Valentines has had one or all of these at some point!

So how about something a little bit more personal?

Instead of buying the usual chocolates and flowers, you could get creative with your gifts this Valentine's Day. Maybe write your significant other a love letter or make a scrapbook of your favourite memories together. After all,  thoughtful gift is always more appreciated than an expensive one.

And best  of all, gifts that last can mean the world and, unlike chocolate, don’t mean you have to go clothes shopping afterwards! Items that your loved ones can use, like a bottle stopper, wear, like cufflinks, or carry with them, like a key ring, will mean they can always keep a token of your love close at hand.

And don’t forget, Valentine's Day is not just about romantic love. You can show love and appreciation to your friends and family by sending them a thoughtful message, a card or a small gift. They will appreciate the gesture and it will make their day special too.

Valentine's day is a great opportunity to show love and appreciation to the people around you. Whether you are in a relationship or not, you can still make the day special by celebrating with friends and family. Remember, the most important thing about Valentine's Day is to be present for the people who mean the most to you.
