February 13th's Tip
Valentine's Day Weekend: We've talked about a few non-standard gift ideas for Valentine's Day, but your loved one deserves more than just a day of feeling special, right? What about the whole weekend?
I don't mean spending the whole weekend out and about, but spending it pampering your loved one or doing chores. Maybe you've been meaning to paint your bedroom or move the furniture in your living room for months now? Surprise him or her by finally getting it done this weekend. Or you can spend the whole weekend giving your loved one massages, cooking their favorite meals, and generally making them feel special and loved. Do they have a to-do list that's been feeling neglected? Complete the list for them! Is there something you wouldn't normally do without complaining (such as watching a marathon of chick flicks or action movies)? Do it (no complaining!) just to make them happy.
And to those who still think that a woman (or a man) won't appreciate a well-thought out day / weekend at home, ask someone who has had all of their chores completed for them and who hasn't had to lift a finger all weekend if they appreciate it, and I'm sure the answer will be YES!

I did think for an alternative present for valentines day for my husband "Flotation". We cant go on Valentines day because I have booked to late, but at least he will get the tickets and hopefully like the idea. That's a good idea about the chores, Im sure that kind of gesture will be much more appreciated than than a card or chocolates.
