Valentines Day Surprises for your Significant other

February 9, 2016 | Leave a Comment

Ways to surprise your significant other this Valentine's Day

I’m a romantic at heart, and as a woman, I love being spoiled.

Also – I’m not ashamed to admit – I prefer that Valentine’s Day be all about me. Me getting diamonds. Me getting flowers. Me getting chocolates.

Ok, ok, I care about my husband and his feelings too.

Valentine’s Day is always a good reminder to show your significant other just how much you love and appreciate them. Sometimes in the busy day-to-day (and especially when you have little ones running around), you forget to say “thank you” and “I love you” and “I appreciate you.”

Here’s a few simple ideas that you can use to surprise your significant other this Valentine’s Day. They don’t cost much money or take much effort, but I’m willing to bet they’ll show a whole lotta love.

car-picnic

Plan a date night at the drive-in (or a picnic in the back of your car). It’s romantic, adorable and about just the two of you. (via Oh Hello Friend)

 

date-night-arrows

DIY these date idea arrows so you’ll have pre-made date night ideas for the Fridays to come. (via Sugar and Cloth)

 

valentine_popcorn-date-night

Give him (or her) a popcorn date night with these printables and ideas. (via Eat Drink Chic)

 

heart-shaped-bacon

Make him heart-shaped bacon. Enough said. Valentine’s Day win. (via The Paper Mama)

 

valentine_cup_wrappers

Surprise him with coffee and a cute cup wrapper. Show up at work with one in hand, or stick the empty cup under the pre-loaded coffee maker with a “just press the button” note. (via Eat Drink Chic)

 

love-notes

Print out these sexy love notes and leave them all over the house, in his trousers, in his laptop bag, etc. Some of them are funny, some cheesy, and some super adorable. I’m keen on the “checking you out” note, because every man likes to feel appreciated for the little things. (via The Dating Divas)

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
