V Day: Little Things to Show your Love

Valentines Day is coming up! And although a lot of people are all sad about being single, why be? You can celebrate it with your friends rather than a significant other. Here are cute little ways to show your love to someone.



Picnic - picnics are the sort of thing which instantly brightens everyones day. All you need to pack is a few snacks and blankets and then you're sorted for a really lovely time.

Postcard - markets and little knick knack stores have the best postcards. Write a sweet message, then post it in the mail and they will get the best surprise!

Homemade bouquet - flowers can be pretty expensive, so what I like to do is collect flowers from my garden, or even little hedges along streets. Wrap in brown paper, then tie with twine, and you have a beautiful bouquet!

Lovely sticky note - simply get a sticky note and write a message. I love the idea of sticking it somewhere they will find like a book or school locker. Whether that be a compliment or something you love about them, this will definitely make them feel all warm and fuzzy.

Poem - if poetry is your thing, I think writing a poem is a very sentimental gift.

Drawing - if you're arty, drawings are also special. A portrait, or a place with memories and meaning would be perfect.

Outdoor cinema - here in NZ there are free outdoor cinemas with food markets during the summer period (Silo park on Friday night). Wrap up in blankets and you sure will have a lovely evening.
