A holiday invented (as on March 8) by chocolate candy sellers and flower sellers? A stupid Western tradition, alien to our culture? A wake for a compassionate priest?
Valentine's Day can be treated in different ways. But no matter how skeptical your moods may be, it will come. And very soon. And deep down, each of us will be waiting for a romantic gesture from a lover.
If you still haven't figured out how to congratulate your soulmate on Valentine's Day, this article is for you.
Is it not happiness to wake up next to a loved one? But if you want to make a surprise, get up a little earlier and prepare breakfast for him.
You don't have to be a chef to do this. After all, even from ordinary scrambled eggs, you can make a declaration of love.
And if you are not at the stove for the first time, then you can create a culinary romantic masterpiece. To make lace pancakes, you will need 200 ml of milk, 2 eggs, 50 grams of flour, 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt and sugar to taste. Knead the dough, pour it into a cooking syringe (you can replace it with a thick cellophane bag with an incised corner) and ... create!
This is a classic of the genre. And the simplest (and banal!) thing you can do is to buy a ready–made valentine in the nearest stationery store, taking a box of chocolates and a bottle of champagne from a nearby shop.
Of course, such a manifestation of attention will be pleasant. But it is unlikely to surprise and be remembered.
Another thing is a valentine made with your own hands. Do not rush to disown, demonstrating which end of your hands are growing out of you. Often, to make a hand-made postcard, you don't need anything but scissors, glue, paper and imagination.
Here are just a few simple ideas.
Is it really easy? But you can still make a sweet valentine.
Or a surprise valentine. Just glue two paper hearts and put a couple of candies or a small gift inside.
Love is a causeless feeling. It is difficult to explain why we choose this particular woman or this particular man. And if you still try?
Make a jar or a box for Valentine's Day – "100 reasons why I love you". Fill it with little notes with reasons: "... because you wrinkle your forehead funny," "because you smile at me in the morning." It is not necessary to write "fundamental" things. Let it be nonsense, but yours, very personal.
Believe me, your significant other will open this jar not only on February 14 – the reasons for Love will be re-read whenever you want tenderness.
Another idea is romantic coupons. These are a kind of "lottery tickets". Each of them has an inscription: "To the cinema for any session", "Favorite dish", "Just a kiss" and so on.
This gift can bring you another month (or two) of romantic moments. After all, you can make as many coupons as you want and "use" one every day.
Have you ever taken a shower together? I highly recommend it. A sea of pleasant sensations and saved water.
But on Valentine's Day, it's better to get into the bathroom with your loved one, not in the shower, but after turning it into a SPA salon.
Semi-darkness, aromas and sea salt will help to create the right atmosphere. Light and arrange beautiful candles. Just, pliz, don't forget about safety precautions. Remember: only one fire should break out this evening – the flame of your passion. For the sake of reinsurance, you can use small LED candles.
They say a man loves with his eyes. But this is claimed only by those who do not know that he has another love organ of three letters. Nose.
The sense of smell, sometimes stronger than sight, awakens feelings in us. It is not for nothing that neuromarketers spray the smell of vanilla before entering the confectionery.
The fragrances will help you tell you about your feelings without saying a word. The main thing is to choose them correctly: lavender, rose and sandalwood relax and relieve stress, ylang-ylang intoxicates and creates an erotic mood, muscat excites the imagination… Drop a few drops of essential oil into the bathroom, or use an aroma lamp to create the right atmosphere.
Finally, use sea salt, "bombs" for baths, foam. They will help you relax and give you pleasure.
No matter how you feel about Valentine's Day, do not forget to pay attention to the dearest and closest. As you can see, it's not difficult, but February 14 is still a good reason to be a romantic.
