i need help with my valentines day idea….?
okay. soo i get to see my boyfriend 5 out of 7 passing periods a day at school. so for every passing period im gonna have a different surprise for him on valentines day.
the first one is gonna be a composition notebook full of notes and poems i wrote for him, and sketches and doodles and cute quotes and theres a crossword puzzle of all the words i think he is, and that kinda thing. any suggestions for something else to add, cuz i still need some more pages to fill?
the second is gonna be brownies in the shape of hearts with red frosting and sprinkles.
i still need three more, buuut idk what to do for those, i was thinking maaybe a mix CD of every song that makes me think of him, and our song, too, but that was only if i couldnt think of anything else. soooo anyone have suggestions for me?
please&thankyou:)
P.S. i dont want the idea of “a picture of you two in a cute frame” im putting favorite pictures of us in the notebook, sooo i really really want something different spunky and original, please?

I’ve compiled a list of a few things I’ve given my boyfriend that might help you!
Here are some sweet ideas:
~1,000 Different Reasons Why You Love Him written in a notebook (this one takes awhile)
~Chocolate
~The video game he’s been wanting “forever” (trust me, he’ll go nuts!)
~A Photo of you with a sweet message in paint on the glass
~A dog tag with your name, your anniversary date, and a sweet message on it (if you guys are a little more serious)
~A CD with songs that remind you about him
If you’re artistically inclined:
~A clay figurine in the shape of his pet name
~A sweet homemade card
~A handmade hemp necklace or bracelet (if he’s into jewery)
~Homemade cake and decorate it nice (you could do this artistic or not)
~Homemade heart shaped cookies (same here)
Here would be a sweet tradition to start, but only if you honestly think you’ll last
~A note in a bottle he opens one year after you give it to him. (It’s an anniversary tradition my boyfriend and I started on our 1st anniversary.) Write in it your feelings about him or your relationship right now, and then read it together a year later to see how everything has changed! I used a Coke bottle by gently prying off the cap with some wire/jewelry pliers and putting back on with some big pliers.
Good luck!
