How long have you know them? Most of you have known your best friend for more than seven years. Being able to stick with one person for a while is a good sign that it’s a lasting friendship. Switching friends often makes it harder for you to keep secrets between each other and it could end in heartache.

Looking for that special “something” for that special “someone”? Here are a few quick gift and date ideas to make your Valentine’s Day special. Be tradtional with your gift!
Guys: Treat her like the star she is!
Can’t go wrong with flowers and chocolate, this might just be the most classic romantic idea. (Make it white chocolate if you want a bit of originality there.)
Think your significant other is a star? After a nice meal, why not take a walk down the peir at Kings Harbor or your neighborhood street and take a look at the starry sky. It’s a sweet idea that you’ll both always remember!
Make a scrapbook!
Make it personal!
Sharpies ‘n White Tees. Write a poem on the back of their shirt. Or a picture...or song lyrics... Anything romantic! It will surely be a Valentine’s Day present to remember!
Those of you that have been in a relationship longer, why not make a scrapbook showing your good times together. Use old movie stubs, notes you’ve written to each other, and treasured photos.
Get your love some personalized M&M’s. You can customize them how you want, making them special in your own way.
Make your date super sweet!
Make her Valentine’s Day bear-y special!
Go on an outdoor adventure!
Make your own homemade ice cream. It’s really easy to make, and it’s a really fun bonding activity for you and your sweetheart. Plus, you’ll have a sweet treat to share after your hard work!
Buy her a huge teddy bear. This might not be a very practical gift, but it sure is cute and very sweet! Spray it with your cologne and write a cute “I Love You” card that the bear can hold for you!
There are many things you can do outdoors, including horseback riding, hiking, going for a bike ride, even camping! It’s a great way to exercise and have a fun time!
Go on a picnic! A picnic together is always a fun! You can go to a place that is significant to the both of you, or just take a walk to your nearest park. Either way, you’re bound to have a great time!
“Not-so-plain” white T’s!
