Hi One I Love,
You can keep your heart-shaped chocolate boxes and teddies. And step away from the florists – you’re fine thanks, no need for that bunch of roses, no need at all.
Don’t waste your money because what I REALLY want for Valentine’s Day can’t be bought in a shop – well unless you count the ingredients of the romantic meal you’re going to cook for us. Right? RIGHT?
1. A lie-in
Yes, you knew this was going to be top of the list didn’t you? But what can we say – it’s more precious than rubies as far as we’re concerned. Besides, what can you do with rubies? Can you snuggle up comfortably with them? Can you lazily doze? Pah, thought not!
2. Time
Presence not presents. Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year. We’d love to grab you and go on a date! Let’s bundle up and sip coffee on a romantic stroll to the park together or catch a movie. We don’t mind, so long as you’ve got your arm wrapped tightly around us.
3. Smooches
Go on, givus a kiss. It’s the day or romance, so we’re expecting, nay demanding a nice few snogs. Off you go – get prepping with the Chapsticks!
4. A nice dinner
We’re not asking for Michelin-starred fare, just a meal we haven’t cooked ourselves! Light a few candles, pour us a nice glass of red and we’re happy.
5. A skin tuxedo
We have always hankered after seeing you wearing a dicky-bow and cuffs – and nothing else. Well, you can carry a box of chocolates to preserve your dignity if you like. We’re not completely unreasonable.
Lovingly yours,
The One YOU Love xoxo
