Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day is for the couples and “wanna be” couples out there. Valentine’s Day is a day is also a holiday where there is a lot of expectation placed on the man to be charming and creative so that he sweeps his woman off her feet. Whether or not you are the one who will be doing the wooing this coming February 14th, it is likely that a few suggestions of fun crafts for adults to do on Valentine’s Day will be helpful to you.
Heart shaped diner for your sweetheart
There is a saying that goes something like this, “The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I would venture to guess that women enjoy having a meal cooked for them as well. So what better than to turn your meal into a craft, by not only making it delicious and romantic but by doing things to incorporate the Valentine’s Day theme?! Such things could include using red table settings or shaping some of the food that you serve into a heart. IF you want to be a little more playful, use food coloring to give traditional mashed potatoes or whipped cream more of a Valentine’s Day feel.
Valentine’s Day coupons
When a couple gets passed the stage of being able to drop everything to do something romantic (such as after starting a family together) Valentine’s Day crafts tend to become more creative and affordable. But by no means less romantic or less memorable. One suggestion for something that involves very little time and money but a great deal of thought is to issue your sweetheart some Valentine’s Day coupons. Some examples of what these coupons could be good for include a back or foot massage, breakfast in bed, a night where one spouse takes the kids out and the other spouse can enjoy a quiet house, etc. Think of the needs of your spouse and of her/his hobbies and talents. Be thoughtful and think of actions that you really think your partner would enjoy. Go the extra mile by being creative with the coupons themselves. Issue expiration dates far into the future or humorous conditions for coupon use. Make the coupons look real by adding a barcode. Print them as if they were part of a circular and deliver your coupons with the morning newspaper.
