With yesterday’s post, I started thinking to myself how most people spend their Valentine’s day.  As for us, my husband doesn’t remember what day it falls on, or at least that’s what he says…  It’s never been a big day for me anyway, but still I wonder what makes it a special day for people.  What do people buy?  What special things do they do for their lovers?

As I continued to think, and did some research, I found some great gits and ways to spend Valentine’s day with your lover that I thought I’d share.  Bare in mind that I don’t have much experience in the Valentine’s day arena, so please feel free to weight in!

Time is a precious thing, and with today’s busy world, time is more valuable than ever.  Even though most of us have cell phone that have clocks, or there’s a clock on our computers, sometimes a nice accessory to match your outfit, or match an occasion is necessary.  Wouldn’t it be a great idea to get your loved one a watch for this Valentine’s day?

I was looking through watches for a good style, and I thought the casio pathfinder would be such an awesome gift for the husband or fiance that is into outdoor activities such as camping, and spends a lot of time outdoors. It’s pretty nifty that this style is solar powered, and has all sorts of cool features.   How awesome would that be for the man in your life?

Personally, I fell in love with the Movado 800 Series couple’s set , but it’s a little too rich for my blood right now.

Another idea that I thought of that might be something different, and maybe spice up the romance would be to get some sexy lingerie.  Yes, lingerie can be a good gift to give too.  Well, it’s not just for your husband, but it’s something to share with your husband.  Moms sometimes forget how sexy we are, and how sexy we can be, and what better way to remember with a little piece that will make your husband’s jaw drop?  Get a babysitter, rent a hotel room, get a bottle of wine, and have some fun.  You deserve it!  Even if your husband doesn’t get you a thing this Valentine’s day, he may remember this time next year and think…hey, maybe I should do something special this year!  Maybe he’ll continue the tradition?

For those that might not want to go all out and buy extravagant gifts, or even do the traditional candy and flowers, there are other inexpensive ways to show your special someone that you love them.  Think about how you can spend time with your loved one without feeling guilty about what you’re eating, or what you’re indulging in.  Valentine’s day is a special day, and there are plenty of ways to make the night go well, with still being able to make good decisions in terms of healthy food choices.

If you just want to indulge a little, get a bottle of wine, maybe slip on that sexy lingerie, and whip up a Valentine’s day dessert.

In what ways do you spend your valentine’s day?  Do you give your loved one a practical gift, a unique and memorable gift, conventional flowers and candy, or do you try to not spend much money on this day and opt for a homemade approach?

I’m very interested in finding out how people spend Valentine’s day, and who knows, you just may give me an idea that I might like to try.

To your health and lasting love!
