Valentines is just over a month away and for women that's more than enough time to plan something really cool, but this is a WARNING/REMINDER for the men that VALENTINES is just over a month away!

I know ALL men aren't like this, but being the wife of a man that is-I suffer every year with gifts from the corner convenience store just because he's forgotten it's a special occasion until the day before-sometimes even the day of!

On that note I have put together this list of things you can DO instead of BUY. Hopefully this will spare folks the irritation of getting a gift they'll never use-like that 10 pound gummy bear from the truck stop. Besides DOING something creates memories that will last a lifetime . . .

  1. Have an Indoor Picnic-Forget the overpriced meal at an overcrowded restaurant. Instead, spread out your blanket, some snacks and some bubbly in the middle of your living room.
  2. "Glamping"-I know it may sound like some torturous procedure involving wax at your local salon, but "glamping" is just glamorous camping! You could pitch a tent (not that kind!) in your bedroom, whip up s'mores, sit by the fire-on your TV, and get all cozy in a sleeping bag for two.
  3. Bowling-May not sound romantic, but it's fun! If your gals anything like me she wont mind throwing back a couple of beers, snacking on junk food and some healthy competition as long as she's with her man! The winner could even get a special "Prize".
  4. Hot Yoga- I know this sounds like work, but it's a great way to get limber & steamy. The poses, the heated room all increase blood flow and boost endorphins, plus a shower is a must after class-great time to grab one together!
  5. My favorite-Sexy Scavenger Hunt-Create clues that lead to special places you've been and reward them with, sexy prizes!

The main key is to remember you don't have to spend every dime to have a fantastic Valentines Day, a little thought will sometimes go a long way!
