Valentine’s Day is ONE week away! So if you want to show your buds some love, now’s the time to start some thoughtful planning. Whether you plan on baking a strawberry bundt cake, serenading them outside their apartment window, or sending a simple love trinket, we’ve got a few lovely ideas to help inspire you. 🙂
Spread the Love
The original Soul Flower goodies featured here may be long gone, but the idea still works: pick something meaningful for that sentimental bud who gets all worked up over romantic movies, keeps every little keepsake, and doodles hearts anytime they have a pen in hand.
Or bake something! This strawberry “doughnut cake” looks like one gigantic doughnut. IT HAS SPRINKLES!! And just looking at the picture makes you want to hug and kiss people; can you imagine the real deal? Man. Watch out.
Flowers That Last
On Valentine’s Day, instead of buying flowers that will sadly die in a week, you could give something floral that lasts. Then write something corny (yet grand) about how the flower is lasting, like your love. There aren’t too many people out there who don’t appreciate a soulful flower.
Another sweet idea is to make a “52 Reasons Why I Love You” book. It’s easy to make if you have an old deck of cards lying around and 52 things you like about the one you love. You could even do your own spin on it and create a love list of 52—whatever! Making 52 redeemable coupons would be pretty cute… as long as you’re willing to do 52 things. 😉
Show Him Love
And ladies, don’t forget to show the guys some love! Men enjoy a bit of attention, too. Your best bet is picking something comfortable, funky or fun. Homemade dessert, cocktail concoctions or dinner are always super successful game plans as well!
Now get out there and SPREAD the LOVE!
