Ask Anne: Valentine's Day Ideas!

About

This blog is where my personal and business life intersect. I'm a a multi-passionate creative who teaches people how to create faster roadmaps to abundance in work and life through the doorways of business consulting and reiki teaching. If you'd like a DIY workbook to plan for your own creative living, check out my Pricing Workbook for Creatives. You'll see that I travel the world as often as I can and keep a gratitude journal as a reminder to find strength in my challenges. I was a full-time professional photographer for 15 years, so there are still many cringe-worthy archives of my early work and artistic journey on this 19 year old blog. I've written loads of creative business advice over on the Photolovecat blog, and have started sharing reiki healing stories and healing moments over on the Abundant Sphere blog. If you'd like to learn more about me, here's a TEDx Talk of what my guiding questions have been to help me tune into my natural gifts and purpose. I'm available for workshops, presentations, interviews, and private consultations on creative business topics and for the advancement of arts programs in schools and communities:

RedEnvelope.com is one of my favorite gift sites and they're having a "Red Hot" Valentine's Day SALE for 2 days, and if you order now, you won't have to pay for rush shipping. If you get a gift from Red Envelope for your sweetie, make sure you splurge and get the big red box - it's much more impressive than opening a brown cardboard box. If your sweetie likes things that are different and creative, visit Etsy.com and find a unique handmade gift that would be perfect for your one-of-a-kind sweetie.

Here are some quick picks I found on Etsy.com that would be great for Valentine's Day (click on each to see more detail):

However, if nothing there suits your fancy, here are some other great suggestions for Valentine's Day...

Dinner Theatre
Full Body Massage
Night at the Opera
Out-of-Town Getaway
Dinner Train/Steamboat Tour
Candlelit Dinner & Dancing at Home
Draw or Paint a Personal Work of Art
Serenade Your Valentine with a Song
Make a List of "101 Reasons I Love You"
Take a Cooking or Painting Class Together
Strawberries, Champagne, and a Romantic Game
Mail a Love Letter or Poem "from a secret admirer"
Leave Surprise Love Messages in Unexpected Places
Have Flowers or Balloons Delivered to Work (it never gets old)

Or, you can even make your own music video with iMovie!!! Click below to see my one of the favorite Valentine ideas ever!!

I think the key to a good Valentine's Day gift is that it's thoughtful and well planned. It doesn't have to cost anything, but if it's something that requires advance thought and/or planning, it shows you really care and that you think about your sweetie more than just on a day like Valentine's Day.

That music video was too funny! I can't imagine having that much free time on my hands these days. And if I did, I can't imagine not totally cracking up while the tape was rolling.
I loved all of your little V-day tips...very fun & creative!
I am a huge new fan of your blog!
Hey, congrats on the Super Bowl victory! My daughter and I were cheering for your team based on the name, since she is really into horses. She's 8 after all.:-)

I am in love with Red Envelope! I get all my fun 'splurgy' gifts from them and they never disappoint. And yes! The red box is a must(you can't get the whole effect if you don't get the box).
