Instead of wondering, "What will I get this Valentine's Season?", let us ask, "What can I do for so in so?". One this is for sure. You will have a great day!

Ideas of Gifts:

For Parents:

Volunteer to take some pictures of them as a couple. Put them in front of a nice backdrop and make sure they get some poses kissing and cuddling. Print them for them and put them in a cute frame.

For Nieces/Nephews:

Make them a valentine with specific compliments on them. Make a little baggie with stickers and crayons or treats to go with it. Make it specific to them and relate the items in the bag to qualities they have that you admire.

For a Lover:

Give them things that they have specifically expressed an interest in, not things that you like or see value in that they may not feel the same way about.

Specify house projects you will help them with each season of the year or get them something for that season so they can 'feel the love all year round': gardening in spring (flower pot), shoveling in winter (ice melt/snow blower), raking in fall (rake), watering in summer

(sprinkling system or sprinkler or get them a fan to stay cool, or a nice water bottle or hat)

For a Friend:

Write a poem.

Tell them all the reasons you are grateful they are in your life.

Pray for an opportunity to show you care and express your love.

Give hugs.

Make a phone call.

Say sorry and ask forgiveness. Forgive.

Write a song.

For God:

Love one another; in THOUGHT, WORD and DEED

Love Him above all else and make sure that what you love fits in with His plan for you!

For Self:
