Unless you’ve been living in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan with the likes of Osama Bin Laden, you’re well aware Valentine’s Day is less than two days away. Some of you might be painfully aware of this date because you suffer from a condition known as RC (Romantically Challenged).
Symptoms of RC include one or all of the following lacks: time, imagination, or money. Acute fear of disappointing is another indicator. Based on year’s past, you know you have a tendency to fail in the romantic gestures arena. You’re painfully aware that if you show up with yet another abysmal performance, you might find yourself exiled to that cave in Afghanistan. (Or at the very least the couch for a night or two.)
But what if there was a way to redeem yourself this year? There is! And it’s only a click away in most cases.
Love Letters
What if instead of just buying a Valentine’s Day card and signing your name, you included a sweet love letter this year?
“Picking a card’s hard enough. I wouldn’t know what to say!”
That’s why Samara O’Shea founded LetterLover.net. For a flat fee of $50 she’ll craft a love letter for you.
Or…
Forego the $50 and use some of Samara’s tips to write your own. For instance, keep it short and sweet. List adjectives that bring to mind your loved one. Reference how long you’ve been together. (Guys, girls really love this. It shows us you’re paying attention.) Include an inside joke. Most importantly, say it from your heart.
Or…
Use the collection of romantic love letters at Romance for Everyone as samples to inspire one of your own.
Star Light, Star Bright, Your are the Star that Lights My Life
Go to a star naming site such as FreeNameaStar.com (free, just as the name implies), StarNamer ($19.95), or International Star Registry ($54-$144.95) and pick a star to name after your sweetie.
Or…
Shine with a stuffed animal that’s no ordinary Valentine animal. Russ makes a Shining Stars line of stuffed animals that come complete with a star for you to name and register on the International Star Registry. The Families.com Deals section has some, from bunnies and dragons to penguins, snow owls, monkeys and pigs. Click here to see the whole selection.
