How did Valentine’s Day come to mean the most romantic holiday? Well, St. Valentine’s Day began as a celebration of one or several early Christian saints. There are a number of stories about martyred saints with this name. The style of Valentine cards varied over time, ranging from tintypes to lace trimmed paper to decorative wreaths.
1. Make it an occasion for the two of you. Prepare a special Valentine’s dessert. If your Valentine is a lover of chocolate, make a mini-chocolate cake: one for each of you. Maybe one with a molten chocolate center would make it a truly special event! Or just make a fancy version of your beloved’s favorite dessert.
2. Locate a good photo of the two of you and place it in a very special frame. You can make one (construction paper and lace trimmings) or purchase one. Give it to him or her with a poem you wrote yourself.
3. Build a Valentine box by locating an antique wood box or small metal one. Spruce it up with glitter or rhinestones or ribbon. Or even, if it is wood, take the time to refinish it into bright, satiny wood. Inside, place a special gift. Perhaps a gift card or “IOU” for some activity you can do together. After the gift is used, your Valentine can use the box for other items. But the memory will linger for years.
4. Using heavy-stock paper, cut out hearts and fold them over. Inside, place different messages of love. You can even use this gift to make it “Valentine’s Week” by placing heart messages around the house for him/her to find. Make reservations at a romantic or favorite restaurant.
5.In the busy life that is typical of modern society, we rarely make the time to focus on one person. Make this Valentine’s Day a special one by giving the gift of time and you to your beloved.
