Have a Simple Valentine's Day!
Flower shops, card stores, jewellery shops, everything is going crazy today for Valentine's Day. The big day of the year to show your loved ones how much you love them. And come to think of it, why would you object to it? We celebrate our birth, the new year, someone else's birth, why shouldn't we celebrate our love?
That doesn't mean though that we have to turn it into a consumption festival. The most important presents are those that come from the heart. When I was thinking of what to do for my wife I decided to go old-school and remind us of our childhood. I printed a design of a pop-up card, got my crafting tools together and spent half an hour yesterday making it. Simple, fun, cool and meaningful.
Once it was ready I hid it and left it this morning on her pillow. Her reaction was exactly what I expected to a present that came from the heart.
Happy Valentine's Day!
