Good morning guys and girls and Happy V-Day! I hope you weren’t expecting helium hearts or red balloons or teddy bears carrying heart shaped objects.

Honestly, is there anything more embarrassing than having a teddy bear attached to a helium heart delivered to your office!? On a par with throwing up in front of your boss at the Christmas party I guess, but really… teddy bears. How old are we? Twelve? I once actually saw a girl on the tube on her way home on Valentines Day with such a monster on her lap and blushed on her behalf. I even had to switch carriages to get away from this saccharine piece of an eye-sore. It’s not that I’m not romantic but I like a bit more thought and classiness with my Valentines gifts. So much thought in fact that I think I’m the only lifestyle blogger out there who doesn’t feature a Valentine’s gift list on the blog this week.

Wait, I’ve just thought of an even more embarrassing Valentines’… a dinner a-deux in a cheap restaurant.

OMG, isn’t it nail-curlingly painful to be taken out to a public place where you’re packed like sardines at a tiny wonky table with a red rose, or worse a red carnation (!) as the whole sale price of roses rises sharply around mid February and this being an imaginary cheap restaurant they won’t have gone to the expense of bulk buying roses. Actually, it’s probably a fake red rose. A nasty plastic one they dust off every year. Yuk!

I know I sound totally ungrateful but come on guys and girls, a little imagination goes a long way to demonstrating real romance. Personally, I’d be over the moon with some of my favourite chocolate cake and a massive hug.

Aw… there, I’m easily pleased. [Though a trip to Paris would be nice.]
