5 Clever & Quirky Ideas For Valentine's Day!
Make February 14th the Day to DIY Something Extra Fun For Your Valentine!
Sure, I love cards, candy and fresh flowers like the next girl but, once in a while it is fun to break from the typical Valentine’s Day traditions and do the unexpected! This year, I am sharing 5 of my most favorite quirky ideas. And the best part? They won’t cost you and arm and a leg - just a little ingenuity will do the trick!
1.Tell Your Valentine That You are Wrapped Up In Them!
Break out the plastic wrap, some sweet treats and a note expressing your love because it is time to wrap the steering wheel! I made a simple sign that says “I’m wrapped up in you, sweetie” and attached the whole thing to the Gooch’s (hubby’s) steering wheel. Ha! And off to work he goes with a smile on his face. You could wrap a kitchen chair, lunch box, shoes or whatever stands in the way of leaving for the day!
2. You Make My Heart Go Weee!
Place a Valentine message in the most unexpected place…the toilet seat lid. Even the sleepiest of Valentine will get a kick out of lifting the lid in the morning and finding a funny message. I know what you are thinking… “I can’t believe that she actually went there.” Yep - I did! It guarantee it will get a good chuckle.
3. Make & Play a Valentine Jenga Game!
Whether you are celebrating as a couple or celebrating Valentine’s Day as a family, you will love creating and playing Valentine Jenga! To create your unique game all you need is a fine tip permanent marker and a regular Jenga game. Create your own sayings or instructions and write them on individual Jenga pieces.
