Last Minute Gifts of Cash

While it may seem like you didn't give much thought to your gift, cash will never go out of style. It doesn't matter if the recipient is 12 months old and got munty or is 90 years old. How can you make even the simple gift of money unique? I found a great website that shows you how to fold money in the style of origami. Since you can't use the normal origami that sometimes requires you to cut or tear areas, this site here uses the dollar bill to fold up some great gift giving ideas. Not only will your recipient enjoy the cash, but the presentation will leave them enjoying it for a long time.

Romantic Scavenger Hunt

Budgets are tight this year, so creativity is going to be your best friend. Spending a little time, which costs you almost nothing, and a single rose might have you in the running for Valentine of the Year.
 Here is what you do :

Think of 4-5 places that have a special meaning. First place you kissed, first date, place you proposed or even where you met. If you do not want to drive all around town, or the places you met are too far away, thinking up a few simple clues around the house, yard or town will be just as fun.

Write out your clues. You do not want these to be so hard that they will never guess. Keep them simple. If your first clue is to the car, you could write "Where I sit next to you when we are driving" If your clue is where you first kissed, your clue could be " The bench where I first kissed you"

Hide your clues. Enlist your friends or family if you need to. Most people are happy to help out a romantic gesture. I remember years ago a young man coming in 2 hours before he brought his date to the restaurant I worked at and giving us roses and a note. We set the table up just before they came, and she was none the wiser.

Write a love note. Nothing says I love you like a handwritten note detailing your true thoughts. The final destination can contain your love note with a single rose.

A simple scavenger hunt this year will stay in his/her mind for many years to come. Be prepared to get some dirty looks from the guys who bought their girlfriends chocolate.

Massage Oils

It doesn't matter if your young or old, personal massages from the one you love will be a welcomed gift anytime of year. If  your spouse is not into flowers and candy this Valentines Day, this will no doubt be the best gift you can buy. Men and women both love having a massage after a long day. It helps to relax tired worn out muscles, and the touch of another human warms the soul. It is a proven fact that babies without any human touch, while fed and kept clean, will die if they are not touched. There is something inside us that desires and needs to have human interaction.

To make a quick and easy gift this year for Valentines Day, buy one or two bottles of a special massage oil and attach a few homemade coupons good for 15 or 20 minute massages. If your budget allows, purchase a CD of instrumental music and light some candles. With a little preparation and a lot of sincerity your gift will be one that will be remembered for a long time to come. Don't get upset if you are asked for it again next year.
