Valentine's day ideas

Valentine’s Day a holiday for couples but was it is a holiday that goes back to the time of the Romans. Back then it wasn’t called valentine’s day and for sure it wasn’t sweet and lovey dovey. No it was a pagan holiday, and like most holidays christen churches created Valentine’s Day to combat this pagan with a celebration of their own.  This celebration was called St. Valentine’s Day by Pope Gelasius and was to take place on February the 14^th every year.

This holiday is spent showing affection to people you care about or love ones, but really what is the best way to do this? In today’s economy it probably won’t be the best idea to go out and spend the average amount of 150 dollars spent by men or the 74 spent by women. But have no fear because I’m on a mission to find the best Valentines for your money.   http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/interactives/valentines-day-by-the-numbers

 For your friends Valentine ’s Day would be good for giving cards.  These cute robots are the way to go for friends I think. They can be made out of scrapes of different colored paper and the body is a candy bar.  You can buy a bag of mini chocolates at you locale grocery store and make as many as you’d like. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/29/valentines-day-ideas-robot-card_n_2552851.html?utm_hp_ref=crafts

 

  If you have kids then these yarn hearts would be a good idea for you. All you have to do is cut out some cardboard paper hearts and then let the little kids wrap different shades of pink and red around the hearts. Then paste them on to a blank card and you have a valentine that you kids can be proud of and will love to give away.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/06/valentines-day-ideas-yarn-hearts_n_2615536.html?utm_hp_ref=valentines-day-gift-ideas

My final thing is that if you’re feeling very creative, that you should do a valentines scavenger hunt. I got this idea form pinterest and it sounded really cute. You hide hearts in nature and then threw, the scavenger hunt you leave really cute hearts. this could be the best idea for a cute valentines day activity.
