Last Minute Valentines Day Gift Ideas


Last Minute Valentines Day Ideas

I cannot help but laugh and chuckle every year when I run into a store to pick something up on Valentines Day at the men in the greeting card section.  They look like deer in the headlights.  
Like this day just popped up on them with no warning and they are trying to stay out of the dog house.  The key to knowing what to get is to know what your significant other likes to do and build off of that!

Never fear, we are here to help you with some last minute Valentines gift ideas.

1. Pick up a Plant! 
Flowers are great but I always tell my husband that they die in a few days and they can be cost a lot of money.  A pretty plant is a perfect gift, they last a lot longer or forever!

2.  Book and a Blanket
Does your better half like to read? Pick up a book or some magazines and a nice cozy throw blanket!

3.  A Gift of Relaxation
Can't afford to give her a day at the spa? Give her one at home!
Pick up some bubble bath, bath bombs, a new bath sponge, and a scented candle! Keep an eye on the kids for about an hour and leave her relax.  

4.  Have a Picnic!
It maybe cold and snowing outside but it is perfect weather for a picnic. Pick up some sandwiches and other goodies. Some wine and crackers would be a perfect idea! Light some candles and spread a blanket out on the floor! 

These are just a couple of ideas for you.  Of course if you want to give a great surprise we are here to help you get her a newer vehicle as well...just a thought!

Happy Valentines Day from Rankl & Ries Motorcars!

Valentines Day Ideas for Families



Celebrating Valentines Day with your Family

Valentines Day is next Thursday.  This day is typically a day of romance, flowers, greeting cards and going out to eat.  Valentines Day is also about the love of family and celebrating with the kids.  Here are a few ideas to help make the day special for the little ones.

1.  Make heart shaped pancakes for breakfast

2.  Make homemade Valentines for each family member with words of appreciation or acts of kindness that you can do for each other.

3.  Create Valentines cards to give to elderly neighbors or to take to a local nursing home to be distributed to the residents.

4.  Many local pizza shops have heart shaped pizza on this day. Order one and have a movie night!

5.  Bake and decorate cupcakes or cut out cookies together.

6.  Have a family game night complete with snacks and of course some candy!

7.  Make Valentines keepsake boxes and each year write your child a letter to keep in the box that they can re-read each year and keep into adulthood.

These are just a few ideas.  Do you have a family tradition or have a suggestion as well? We would love to hear about them!
