HAPPY FEBRUARY!
Valentine’s Day is just 14 short days away, so I’ve put together a list of how to spoil your love every single day leading up to this incredibly commercially driven holiday!
1. Let them sleep in.
My boyfriend and I work slightly different hours and I leave around 4:45AM (That’s right!). Usually I bumble around in the morning generally aggravating him in every way – slamming the dresser drawers opened and closed, entering and exiting the room more times than necessary, and just basically making an unadulterated racket before anyone who knows better would even think about being awake. TODAY, make that all change. Set your clothes out in the morning, make a nice neat pile of everything you need to take with you on your way out, and kiss your sleeping boyfriend goodbye like the little sweet prince that he is.
2. Write a sweet note on your way out.
Today, take your morning treatment to the next level by leaving a post it note right on his forehead. Suggestions for what to write include:
“Sweet dreams, babe”
“xoxo, Gossip Girl” and
“Please don’t forget to brush your teeth”
He will appreciate it!!!!!!
3. Let them watch whatever they want on TV tonight.
I can’t begin to explain how strange it is having a boyfriend who lives for Gossip Girl, more so than I live for most TV shows, but tonight, give him the remote and (try not to) don’t complain a peep.
4. Organize the sock drawer.
Sharing a room with someone you’re dating is even worse than sharing a room with a regular roommate because your significant other often thinks they can toss all of their stuff with all of your stuff, making something of a mixed salad out of all the stuff. It’s REALLY UNCOOL. Show your sweetie what boundaries in a healthy relationship look like by buying a cheap dresser organizer and mark your territory as such. Cleanliness is close to holiness which is next to a happy relationship!
5. Shower together.
Not to get sexy, not even to save money. Shower together to scrub your sweetie’s back down with soap and a loofie. Because lezbereal, nobody can really wash their back by themself and again, cleanliness is close to holiness. And that is true love.
6. Be their personal assistant.
(Not like this is different from any other day, but). Does your significant other have a dentist appointment, an important meeting at work, a haircut, and a date night planned with you for later this week? If they’re anything like my boyfriend, they’re a scattered mess and there’s no way they’re going to remember all of these responsibilities on their own. Program alarms for the upcoming week into their phone while they’re sleeping so you won’t be getting a text at noon on Wednesday, five minutes before they’re supposed to be at a special work lunch asking, “Want to go to Buffalo Wild Wings with me during our lunch break?” You got their back.
7. Walk the dog together.
Because nothing says romance like bending down in the dirt to pick up dog shit.
8. Make a photo collage on Instagram of all your cutest moments.
Use only the most flattering filters and make sure everyone who follows you on Instagram can’t help but scroll past it and think to themselves ~ #goals ~
9. Bring them flowers and chocolate to work, a week before Valentine’s Day to make sure all their coworkers know that you’re in a better relationship than all of them and you’re really on top of your game. Your significant other is so lucky to have you and everyone is going to know it!
10. Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. It’s time to really up the ante. While your sweetie is dreaming of Slim Jims and video games, completely cover their car in all of the reasons you love and adore them, written on thousands of pink Post-It notes! They will love this pre-work, morning surprise!
11. Bake a four layer cake and put a framed photo of the two of you love birds INSIDE OF IT. Now that’s innovation.
12. Nothing says love like a choreographed song and dance routine. If you can get some back-up dancers/singers, the more the merrier! Imagine your lovers adorable surprised face as they leave their workplace and head to their car, only to be bombared by a swirling, twirling, mass of sequined performers crooning their adorations with YOU smack in the middle of a baton-twirling, ribbon-dancing, kick-lining conga line. Just imagine their face!
13. Have a life sized stuffed animal delivered to your house that can spoon your honey if you ever can’t.
14. TODAY IS THE DAY. Since you have spoiled your sweetie to pieces the past few days, today go for simplicity. Breakfast in bed, back massage, and a message of your love spelled out in M&Ms will do just the trick. Or just try not to fart under the covers and then trap them under there with the gas. THAT’S TRUE LOVE PEOPLE.
Hope you got some helpful tips for making your love feel spoiled, special, and somewhat disgruntled this Valentine’s Day season!
