Happy Valentines Day!

I just drew this:

[image loading]



Now, for a little gift of easy present advice!

Flowers, chocolates, we all know the cliche gifts, but what are some unique gift ideas?

IDEAS

Dried Flowers: What's the point of flowers that die after just a few days? At many farmer's markets, you can get bouquets of dried flowers that smell great, look good and last over a year! If you want to give a special guy or gal a gift that will remind them for months to come how sweet you are, this is a great gift!

Poetry: Poetry is always a good choice. It's personal, romantic and gives you a chance to show your creativity. Sonnets are the most traditional romantic poems and you only have to get 7 pairs of rhyming words to write one (look to Shakespeare's sonnets for ideas). If you don't feel like you could write a poem, no problem! Just find one that fits your situation and write it as nicely as possible (just be sure to note the author at the bottom, no one finds plagiarism romantic).

Handmade Card: Or computer-made card. With technology these days there is really no excuse for not making a personal card. Personal cards are cute and always appreciated more than the ones you fork an arm and leg over for from Hallmark! Use a picture from facebook, photoshop hearts on it and ta-da! Personal card!

Craft Gifts: Again, effort is romantic. If there are any crafts you are good at, take advantage of it! Sketching, sculpting, modeling! Hell, paint a Valentine's themed Warhammer piece, it's still romantic. If you really find yourself incompetent at crafts, go to the nearest bead store and make a bracelet. Most bead stores have super helpful staff that will be willing to lead you through the entire process, make sure your beads match well and probably even help you tie your finished product.

Homemade Food: Cookies, cake, a romantic dinner, everyone loves food! It's a great way to say "I care for you and I don't think you're fat." And don't worry! Everyone can cook, it's as easy as following any other set of instructions. I'm sure google will be more than willing to provide you with many sites that offer simple, delicious recipes and ideas!



As for myself, I am wrote a sonnet and I made some clay ornaments: a heart with wings, Nidalee's spearhead, Master Yi's sword and Taric's hammer! ;D Luckily, I'm dating a geek.

Thanks! I think the best Valentine's Day gifts are the handmade ones! Or... computer made, but... well, using paint is still kind of handmade.

Best gift for valentines day is no gift. I've never given or accepted a gift for it, I prefer sincerity over obligation. Fuck you hallmark

Hi Riku,
I like you.

You're so cool and pretty,
most girls are plain ditty.

I wish we'd share some wine,
I wish you were all mine.

Will you be my valentine?

Really? I appreciate all handmade gifts, no matter their quality, as long as they show a decent amount of effort went into them. I think they are all really adorable! There was a girl who had a really big crush on me in high school and would send me notes everyday. Often, they included drawings that were not of amazing artistic skill, but I still kept them all because they were very endearing and cute!

What isn't sincere about a handmade gift from the heart? I prefer to think of this holiday as a perfect excuse to spend more time giving extra affection to my loved ones! :D If I didn't limit myself to holidays, I'd be making gifts all of the time. @.@

I went to Japan on a sister-city exchange (it's like exchange students, only between cities instead of between schools). An incoming freshman to my H.S. was also on the trip. We talked a lot during the trip, became pretty good friends. On the trip, we all got bored on a long bus drive to a temple (in Japan) and were playing spin the bottle (as high schoolers do). Two other girls and I kissed, but not my new friend. When we were at a pit stop, she mentioned that she was pretty bummed out that they got to and she didn't, so I kissed her. After that day, she always seemed to have quite the crush on me! I like males, though.
