Coming Soon Valentines Day!

When you walk thru the stores, even the grocery store, lately, you see all these Valentine's Day products.  They are bright red, so they reach out to you, like they are saying,

"You need me to spice up your love life!"

But do you?  Yes, a card for my honey would be nice.  But let's be honest---Specifically honest about our situations.  My husband, specifically, likes cards for the sentiments.  He likes reading  the verse.  He's not so keen on the look of the card or the artwork.  So, for him, a store bought card that expresses the right sentiment will be fine, unless, of course I intend to write him a poem of my own; but, no, not this year.

Then there are all those teddy bears, flowers, and items with cute sayings on them----a whole industry for Valentine's gifts.  Well, I say, it's the intent that counts.  I would much rather get a little something from someone who was being sincere and honest about his or her feelings toward me than getting something right off the shelf and into my hand with no thought, just because it's a holiday.  OK, I will get off my soapbox . . . . but do make good decisions this holiday, won't you?

So pick the right gifts for the right reasons.  Here are a few from my own shop . . . . . . and make my day with your note to the seller that this is to be a "significant" gift of forethought! 



How about a quick little surprise for him!

Whatever you do for your sweetie this year, make it significant and special!
