Idiots guide to valentines

 

Valentines day is for hallmark and women. 

 

For those who gave up on google, and still searching for a fresh idea, here's an idiots guide to Valentines, written by an idiot 

that won't be celebrating. 

 

Making something always looks better. Even Delissio has more of your input than delivery. 

 

For the frugal minded courter, three words for ya. Five dollar footlong. 

(Get an extra napkin... I'll come to that.)

 

If applicable, use children constructively, yes, I'm talking about macaroni necklaces. 

 

 

Picnics.  Find a basket. Lay your best plaid shirt on the ground in the basement, and real talk, if you can't make a half-decent sandwich, Valentines day is the last of your worries. 

 

A heartfelt letter, written on a napkin. Why napkin? It folds easily, much more romantic than paper, and most importantly, gives you an excuse to carry a crayon in your pocket. 

 

Roses, chocolate and purchased cards are dinosaur tricks, treat them like they're extinct. 

 

It's not really a holiday but go out and celebrate. 

 

ps. It's all in the details, written better than bought and when in doubt, wine.
