If you are scrambling to figure out the perfect last minute gift for Valentine’s Day, here are some terrific ideas that will warm the heart and let your loved ones know you truly care!
Write it Down
In an age of digital communication, a handwritten note is a rare and special gift. It only takes a few minutes to write a special note to your spouse, parents, or children to let them know how much they mean to you. Mention their special quirks that make you smile and how you appreciate all they do for the family, or what a great dad or mom they are to the kids. This is gift they will cherish forever!
Plan a Date Day
Plan a special day to spend with each of your loved ones doing what they enjoy. It may be playing golf with your husband, browsing antiques with your mom, or having a tea party with your daughter – the simplest activities are the best! Your time and attention will be their gift.
Spend the Night In
Ask your parents or neighbor to babysit the kids at their house, and create an amazing evening at home for your spouse. Recreate your first date – get take-out from the same restaurant, or stream your first-date movie on your TV. Don’t forget the flowers, candles, music, and all the other small touches that spark your romance.
Play Your Song
Pick a song that’s special to both of you – perhaps the first dance at your wedding, or the most popular song when you began dating. Call the local radio station to request the song and dedicate it to your spouse.
Create a Video Montage
Record video of each family member stating how much your husband or wife means to them. Be sure to interview his or her parents and siblings, as well as your own kids, to capture a range of stories and sentiments. Use iMovie or other user-friendly software to set the stories to music.
Make a Donation
Take the money you would have spent on a gift and make a donation to a cause that is close to your loved one’s heart. This may be a pet shelter, children’s hospital, local ministry, or a favorite non-profit organization.
