Significance Of Valentine's Day

7 ways to make your significant other feel special this Valentine’s

February has dawned, and oh *sniff sniff* what’s that smell? Oh, it’s love in the air. Cliched, I know. Wait. You forgot that Valentine’s Day is coming? Oh the blasphemy. Fear not, your writer friend is here to help you out.

But first, here’s what Valentine’s Day really is. Legend has it, that during the third Century, in Rome, Valentine was a priest who served under the empire of Claudius II.

Fret not, my pet. Here’s something I’ve been wanting to give my boyfriend for ages. Grab a bundle of post-its and write why you love them on every page, so the next time the two of you have a fight, just peel off a page and stick it on the wall for the two of you to see. It’s practical and thoughtful, and won’t burn a hole in your pocket

2. A Mix Tape

Another of the cheaper ones. When you’ve been with someone for a very long time, there are certain things which remind you of each other. Music is one of them. When you listen to “All of me” by John Legend, or “Mirrors”, by Justin Timberlake, don’t you get reminded of your better half? I’m sure they do too. So why not make a CD of all of your favorite songs and give it to them? It’s very personal and they’ll absolutely love it.

3. Massage oil

If you and your love have been together a long time and are comfortable with each other, why not give them some massage oil and make it clear that you’re the one who’s going to use it on them ;)

4. A T-Shirt

T-Shirts are the epitome of personalization. You can order them custom made, or even go to places like Chumak or Tantra or Souled Store for quirky shirts which could encompass who they actually are. So go browse online and order a couple for your loved one. They’ll surely remember you every time they wear it.
