To Gift or Not on Valentine's Day
Posted by LGE EditorWhat should you give this Valentine's day and should I celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Whether you think February 14th is an over commercialised pile of hooey or a day to celebrate the depth and breadth of your love even being single can't stop February 14th from showing up. So whatever your relationship status or length we have some ideas for you.
Should You sign Your Valentine’s Card?!
The best thing about a Valentine's Day is when the card is signed with an X, where the sender, is unknown and the mystery of your admirer is withheld. You can let your imagination run away with you. For this level of secrecy, we suggest disguising your handwriting by writing with your opposite hand – however, no adult wants a card to look like it has come from a child, you may need to practice, to maintain an air of sophistication or even do a MoonPig card!
We suggest sending the card or gift via post, so no camera doorbells pick up the delivery! Perhaps send loved ones, door step Grazing Boxes and with a bit of luck you might be asked to share it! A Relaxing Spa Package could be just what the love of your life is after, filled with everything to relax them.
Tips for secrecy:
- Don’t use your handwriting
- Avoid ring doorbells by using the post (Don’t be a stalker and jump out of a bush!)
- Give enough clues it’s from you without giving the game away
P.S I love You!
If you’re ready to reveal your love or have already bagged the partner of your dreams, show your love with a well thought gift and they don't have to cost the earth.

There is always ‘that’ person who has mdde heart shaped pancakes, cards, gifts, lunchbox notes and cut their carrots into kisses – Yes, Sarah, we mean you! We all sigh at the dedication, yet secretly admire and wish we had the time and energy level for such fun. If you are spending February 14th without a baby sitter, surrounded by the children, then go all out! Use pizza dough to make heart shaped pizza’s, tell your partner there is always March 14th Mother's Day) put on Cobra Kai and serve heart shaped chocolates.
