What is it with people and V-day I mean why can’t people write a heart felt 2 page
letter to their loved one and save a few hundred bucks, or make them something that really comes from the heart. Come on people instead of chocolates (oooo how original) try putting some thought in to it ! Nothing say’s I love you like chocolates and flowers, both will be gone in less than a week and I bet most of you out there can barely remember what was given last year. No, i’m not alone on V-day, I have been with my husband for almost 9 years. Yes, I do remember what he gave me last year (handmade, too). So show that special someone you really care, put some thought in to it, and don’t just buy the “stuff” the day of.
