Surviving Valentine’s Day involves four simple rules. The over governing thought though is you must have someone in your life that you care enough to show your affection to on such a day. If you don’t then you can skip today and buy yourself another razor, pocket knife or the like. The first is benevolence aforethought. You must make your walk of shame to the grocery store the day before to buy your gifts and have them ready when your girlfriend, significant other or BAE wakes up. You loose significant points for Bringing crap home at 4:30pm on Valentine’s Day. Second point is you need to buy a card and yes you have to write their name on the envelope and write I love you and your name inside the card and NO you can’t use pencil. Find a pen, steal a pen, use a pen. Third you must buy them something doomed to die. Not a house plant. I don’t care how bad a gardener she is. Giving someone something that will die shows your undying love. Cut flowers are good but mind the prices. You can get. A dozen roses for $20 so don’t get suckered into the $60 bunch with all the other crap like babies breath and a ribbon. Forth. Get her something small that she can keep but it easily lost. It can be inexpensive but it has to be good quality and something she will like. Example are a small box of good candy, a TY brand keychain stuffed animal or ear rings. Don’t expect anything in return and don’t mention steak and BJ day, trust me! Good luck guys. We are all in this together. (Valentine’s Day cards for daughter, we don’t live in Alabama)...
I make my card for my husband by hand and always give him a gift. And if the plant is a Bonsai tree, I’ll love it.
