Thinking Outside the Heart Shaped Box

Well, as you know, it is almost time for Valentine's Day! And that usually means presents for those you love. However, our normal presents at Valentine's Day are not really "loving" gifts if we think about it! Our gifts are usually boxes of candy, big thick boxes of candy. Now don't get me wrong, I like candy just as much as the next person. But I don't want nor need to have grand amounts of sugar. I would prefer gifts that are healthy, fun and focused on the future.

How to achieve such gifts for those you love? Here are several tips to get your journey started!

1. Concert tickets to a local symphony. Support your local events and give a great gift at the same time.

2. Plant a garden or special tree in your yard to commemorate the day. As the plants grow and bloom each year, you will have a constant reminder of your special bond.

3. Spa Days are popular with most folks since it allows for special "me"time. Most Spas have couples options, so book a day or weekend at a special time for you both to have "you" time!

4. Charitable donations make an impact for others and show you care about your loved one!

So look around your area for ways to say "I Love You!" without having to resort to the cliched Heart Shaped Box! Good Luck! And Happy Valentine's Day!
