We usually don’t celebrate besides buying stuff for the kids, but there’s a couple cute things around my town I wouldnt mind.
One of our local wine bars is doing a wine and cupcake pairing. That might be fun.
The local goat yoga people are delivering baby goat grams - you send a message and the recipient gets to play with a baby goat for a little bit. It sounds kinda cute.
Any local restaurants or bars putting on special events? We have a lot of live music going on around town, wineries are hosting special dinners, etc. I hate just going to a restaurant because they seem so overcrowded with long waits, but a ticketed event like the cupcake paring might be ok.
Anyone got any cool plans or ideas for this year? I'd love some inspiration.
Amber, is this what you want to do for your kids or DH or both?

The only exception to the "no flower" rule is, sometimes fire departments do roses as a fundraiser on Valentine's Day--$15 for 3 dozen roses in a variety of colors. That's a great deal, and supports your local firefighters, so it's a win-win.
the last few years we give each cards and go out to dinner. We're not too creative but being together is still special to us.
Celebrate it 2 days later. That way, you can buy all that stuff 70% off.
My kids are 21 & 23 and I don't think I've ever once gotten them anything for valentines....it never even occurred to me or my husband! haha I'll have to ask them if I scarred them!
We don't really do much for Valentines, although if any local fire companies or schools were holding a fundraiser for flowers I'd probably get some to support them. We usually try for a weekend away in February though, so we will use the excuse of valentines day to justify it!
All interesting ideas. I'm intrigued if our local firefighters do this. DH buys me flowers weekly from the grocery store (awwwww!) so we're spoiled by cheap flowers and I hate the idea of him paying the huge markup for flowers on the day of. But this sounds amazing and I could make up arrangements for several spaces throughout the house. That is seriously the best fundraiser ever, although I do enjoy the band selling mums in the fall.
I want a baby goat-gram! Oh my goodness, that sounds so cute!We usually don’t celebrate besides buying stuff for the kids, but there’s a couple cute things around my town I wouldnt mind.
