Valentine's Day has been and may always be the mainstream marker for showing your love and affection for that special someone. Personally I feel that you should show them you love and care for them all year long.
You don't have to make grand gestures; I find most often it's the little things that cast the biggest impact, whether it be for a friend, family member or your significant other.
- If they have a favorite author get them that book that they don't have
- They've admired that scarf you've been wearing, get them one
- Her favorite food is Crab legs, get her a gift coupon (my shameless pitch)
You see where I'm going with this. A thoughtful gift is the best gift and best given unexpectedly throughout the year. But be forewarned, if your significant other wants fanfare and spectacle on Valentine's Day and you haven't been on top of your game the rest of year, this is your day to shine, or it might be lights out on your relationship.
I'm not going in to whether Valentine's Day is too commercial, or should be abolished all together, I'm just going to share how I celebrated with the some of the most cherished to me.
I decided to take my Mom, Daughter-In-Law and Grand-Daughter for a Valentine's Day Brunch at Station 4 in Southwest, Washington, DC to show and share my love for them.
I'd like to share some pics of our time together.
