Valentine's Day Ideas

 

You have less than a week to order Love Rocks for your valentine, so do that first. Then consider these fun ideas:

  • Singing valentines You'd be surprised how many organizations in your community do singing valentines as fund raisers. Start with local high schools and colleges -- the music program probably offers this service to help support choir trips. 
  • A heart-y meal Make heart-shaped pizza with tomato sauce, heart-shaped breadsticks, and salad with tomatoes. Finish it off with chocolate for dessert.
  • Great Lovers in History party game For that Valentine's Day party, write the names of famous historical couples on post-it notes and stick them to the backs of your guests as they arrive. They must find their historical true love among the other guests by asking questions first to determine their secret identities and then tracking down their opposite number. By the time the guests are all paired off, the party will be underway!
  • A heart hike Use Google maps to find a heart-shaped route for a Valentine's Day hike.
  • Send -ecards Send a traditional, funny or sweet card at Care2, photo-personalized greetings from JibJab, or -- if you must -- snide and bitter anti V day cards.
Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day with your family, your sweetheart, your posse, or all alone with a cathartic movie,  plan now to have a great holiday!
