At Christmas time, I spotted several partner cards costing £4.00, now we have the overpriced Valentines Day. Rip off teddy bears, calorific chocolates, flowers, champagne, holidays, and whatever else. If Valentines Day is about LOVE, then prove this love by making a valentine’s gift rather than buying one. Make a canvas. I made one for Jon at Christmas, as I was short of cash, but he loved it. Canvas’ are avaiable in various sizes from craft shops. Buy some paints or beads or use badges or buttons. There are millions of different ways to decorate a canvas.

Instead of buying an expensive card, send an e-card. Write poetry. We do not need to be a professional poet, but piecing words and phrases together and going deep inside the heart and expressing these emotions is loving and giving and absolutely free. I love writing poetry for Jon. My poetry may be crap but it always comes from the heart.

Douse the body in sexy lingerie and natural pheromones and greet a partner by giving him a slow striptease. Wear red lipstick and give him a blow job to remember. Mix several drops of pure essential oil in olive oil, but instead of massaging it all over his or her body, rub it over your body and climb on top. Feed each other exotic food while blindfolded. There are tons of ways to create a celebrate Valentine’s Day without spending a ridiculous amount of money. It’s always the consumers who are ripped off by Valentine’s Day, but you can display this love by trying something different. And if your partner wants a present rather than a loving gesture, look elsewhere because love is love and must be treasured.
