It's Valentine's Day! Whether you love it or loath it, it's a reminder to us to let the people we love know how much we love them, and why we love them. It doesn't always have to mean cheesy greeting cards and over-sized teddy bears (although, I would never complain!), sometimes it's just the little things that say it all.
If you're not one for grand, romantic gestures, or you're finding that dinner out at your favourite restaurant is getting a bit old, then read on...
Here's my 5 quick and simple ways to let the one you're going to marry know that they are appreciated, any day of the year!
1. Write him a love letter
Sometimes in our busy lives, our feelings for the people we love are pushed to the back of our minds as we go about our day-to-day routine. Take a few minutes to yourself somewhere quiet, and think about all the reasons why you love that special someone. Write it all down in a cute card or on note paper and give it to them when you next see them. Or, keep it and give it to them when they're having a bad day. I promise it will make them smile and it's something that they can keep forever.
2. Plan a movie night
You've heard your Fiancé go on about a film that's out, and how much he wants to see it, but you have absolutely no interest in it. Surprise him by secretly getting hold of the film to watch together for a cosy night in. Snuggles are compulsory! They'll really appreciate that you remembered the film, and that you're willing to watch it with them (despite it not being your cup of tea). Plus next time, it will be your choice of film (win!)
3. Prepare their favourite meal
Secretly book an afternoon off work to plan a really beautiful dinner of his favorite meal for the two of you. Give yourself a few hours to plan and prepare it, and allow time in case anything goes wrong too! Put on your best dress that makes you feel fantastic, lay the table out; candles, wine, the whole package, and voilá! He'll love getting in from work to the smell of your own amazing cooking, it won't go unnoticed!
4. Make them a mixtape
This one's old school, but still an insanely romantic gesture. Put together a playlist of songs that remind you of him, or songs that represent a special event or time in your relationship. Maybe the first song you ever danced together to? It's such a simple gift idea and it's perfect for Valentine's day! And you never know, it could end up being your wedding playlist!
5. Tell them you love them - in a new way!
Sounds obvious doesn't it? But there's loads of different ways you can say it to mix it up a bit. For a cute surprise, send him a random text during the day just to let them know you love them. Or, stick sticky notes where he'll find them (in the cupboard, in his car, in the shower), just to brighten up his day! My personal favourite is secretly setting an alarm in his phone to surprise him when he's least expecting it!
Have a love-filled Valentine's day all! x
