Celebrating Valentines Day in 2012

Remember the days when you were a kid and you sent valentines to all your friends?  It usually consisted of a box of various kinds of valentines you would put a “to” and “from”, fold up, add a sticker and maybe a lollipop then put it in a decorated bag in the classroom.  It was always a lot of fun to go through all the valentines to see how many you received and who sent them to you.  Now that you are an adult, valentines may be a bit more elaborate but they are still an important tradition on Valentine’s Day and one that should not be forgotten.  Be sure you send valentines to your significant other in 2012.  They will certainly appreciate them.

One of the nicest ways to send your loved one valentines is to make one yourself.  This can be a really special way of showing you care by taking the time to create one yourself.  Try getting some lace, stencils, stickers or specialty scissors to make decorative designs.  Then, add in a picture of you or a nice poem.  This would be especially lovely if you write a poem yourself and dedicate to the one you love.  It shows creativity and thoughtfulness.

For Valentine’s Day 2012, it is customary to give your loved one a special gift that may include flowers, chocolates or even jewelry.  But don’t forget the tradition of sending valentines on this special day.  Whether you buy a romantic card or special gift, have some fun with a kid’s card or make one yourself, valentines are a great way of showing you care.
