What to do if you forgot today was Valentine’s Day
With all the excitement surrounding the Super Bowl, it’s possible (and understandable) that you forgot to get a Valentine’s Day gift this year. But don’t worry, just because the holiday has arrived, it doesn’t mean it’s too late to get a gift. In fact, with a little bit of thought combined with shrewd purchasing, you can make this year the best Valentine’s Day ever.
In this article: Uber Gift Card, Hotels.com Gift Card and Amazon.com eGift Card.
Ways to make someone feel special
Valentine’s Day is often about giant teddy bears and chocolate-covered strawberries, but sometimes, you need to throw a curve to keep things interesting or to help cover up that, you might not have been as prepared as you hoped you’d be this year.
That doesn’t mean you can’t still do something to make your special person feel extra special. In fact, there are several thoughtful things you can do that show you care:
- Write a poem or make a list of reasons why you love them.
- Wake up first and start the morning coffee pot.
- Fill their car up with gas.
- Put a loving note in their lunch.
- Surprise them by doing all the chores for the day.
- Cook a favorite meal.
- Make a playlist of songs that have significance to your relationship.
- Forfeit the remote control.
