Personalized Gifts

The first 2 weeks in February keep me busy with Valentine’s Day.  That’s okay, I’m not complaining at all but sometimes I find myself getting behind and believe it or not even letting my Valentine slip my mind.  I get so caught up in keeping up with order that I forget to make my own gift for my Valentine, my husband of course.  Well, this year I didn’t forget although I’m not completely prepared I’m more prepared.  You can do this at home and can be done last minute.  You’ll just need to make a “run” to Wal-mart, Target, or whatever your favorite store is and get a bottle of Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante (it’s with the wine and it’s a sparkling wine but it’s still bubbly like a champagne only sweet not bitter).  Or you can opt for the non-alcoholic sparkling cider/juice which you can usually find on the same ilse.  You’ll also need some delicious Hershey kisses, 2 champagne flutes which you can get at Wal-mart for about $5/for 4 or the Dollar Tree $1/each…even better!  Get some faux flower petals that you find in the wedding section of the store.  Also make sure you have dice (actually you’ll only need one, a die).  If you don’t you can get a pack of those where you find the poker chips and playing cards with the board games.  I have a cute and fun little game to share with you.  I call it the sweetheart game.  You’ll find it at the very bottom.  Oh, and you need some candles. 

Now this is just to get the mood set, you have to figure the rest out on your own and lingerie is optional…LOL

You want to put a little lip gloss if nothing else, a hint of pink or brown will do the trick, light some candles and a fire if you have it.  Set up a small area with a blanket on the floor (in front of the fireplace if applicable), poor the wine and make a toast to your love and don’t forget to eat some of those chocolate kisses, strawberries would be great too!  A great way to get in tune with one another is to simply talk, especially those of us with kids at home so you’ll have to wait until they are in bed and asleep.  Ask your spouse about their day, find out where they want to take the next family vacation, ask them what they dream and hope for this year.  Then share those same things with them.  This is a time to listen so don’t judge…it’s a time to connect not bicker.  Give each other a 3-5 minutes shoulder massage and play the Sweet Heart Game.  Board games are usually fun to play and they get you talking, laughing and connecting…it’s also a great stress reliever.  Unless either of you are highly competitive, then be careful what you pick to play or find another activity. 

This is where my ideas stop, you’ll have to play it by ear from here but remember it is Valentine’s Day and you are celebrating your love, you’re feeling connected, you’re feeling sexy so GO FOR IT!!

SweetHeart Game Rated G

Before playing you’ll just need to get one of the dice from any game you have at home and some chocolate.  If you don’t have any board games, that’s ok just go to the store where you find the board games, poker chips and playing cards to find a package of dice.  

You need atleast 2 players (typically spouse/partner) and each player will have 6 alternating turns rolling the die. 

This craft is created by Sweet Expressions just for you!  The younger of the two rolls first.  This is meant to play repeatedly and you’re all winners in this game.

Each number on the die corresponds with a number below and each number has an action next to it.  You must complete the action next to the number you roll (you’ll use your spouse).

1.  One long kiss (you know the kind I mean)

2.  Eat chocolate

3.  Take shower together

4.  Say “I love you”

5.  Do it!

6.  Give your partner a shoulder massage (3 minutes)

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Romance

Keeping it unique,
