Buying each other a romantic-looking card for Valentine’s Day is usually a given; it’s so obvious that we don’t even think about it; we just do it. The card is supposed to say “I love you”, but it ends up being thrown away within a year or two just like every other birthday card or Christmas card. More to the point, how can a ready-printed card with a ready-printed message actually convey your own personal feelings for your partner? The simple answer is that it can’t. Not really.
Instead, do something a little more creative and unique, or do something completely out-of-the-ordinary. If you and your partner are artistically inclined, draw a sketch or a caricature of each other. Alternatively, go and find one of those town artists who will draw a portrait of the two of you. You will have something to treasure forever, and it certainly won’t end up in the trash this time next year.
If you are wordier, write each other a love letter, or simply leave Post-It notes for each other around the house. Perhaps these could contain clues and directions to the whereabouts of the gifts you bought each other, or maybe they simply state all the reasons you love each other.
