It's Valentine's Week...Be 'Romantically Creative'

If you haven't heard by now, Valentine's Day is this Saturday. (And if you really haven't heard, you must be living in a cave!)

But this year, in a miserably down economy, Valentine's Day gives men and women (especially the men) the opportunity to be "romantically creative."

Unless you are very wealthy, nobody expects to receive very expensive presents to "prove your love." What women really want anyway guys are romantic gifts.

So here's some suggestions:

• Print an old special photo of the two of you off your computer and buy a nice frame.
• Create your own card and write a poem or a few lines detailing how much she means to you.
• Leave little notes scattered all over your home.
• Instead of taking her to an expensive restaurant, take her to the restaurant where you had your first date.

GET THE PICTURE? If the two of you are like most couples these days and struggling financially, there is a good chance that if you go off on your own and buy an expensive piece of jewelry, it just might backfire!

And you certainly don't want that to happen.
