Chase Away Bad Dreams With a Dream Catcher
It can be quite a sentimental gift. When a person gives a dream catcher to their love interest to help insure her a peaceful dream filled slumber this gift shows a sweet concern for your partner. Dream catchers come in a wide array of designs. Want to really step up your game? Attach a ring, bracelet, or necklace to the web and watch her eyes sparkle. Tangle gold or a diamond within the threads, that will most certainly get her attention.
Dream catchers can be quite an enchanting gift. They are a simple circle frame that is filled with a mesh webbing, and decorated with long flowing feathers, and beads. These charms insure that a sleeping person can only experience good dreams during their slumber. Originally designed by the Ojibwa peoples to protect their children from nightmares, a dream catcher consisted of a willow tear or circle shape, netted inside with sinew just as a snowshoe would be. This net was then decorated with feathers, and other ornaments, and hung above the bed to catch the sleepers dreams. Good dreams could filter through the web and slide down the feathers to enter the sleepers dreams. Nightmares or bad dreams could not filter through the net, and remained trapped within the web, thus insuring only good dreams for the person who owned the dream catcher. This traditional charm is now a popular theme for people of all ages. A Day to Whisper I Love You Over and Over and Over Again
Your Valentine's Day gift shouldn't have to break the bank. A Valentine’s day gift does not have to leave you counting your pennies for weeks after the holiday is over. Gifts can be wonderfully romantic while still being quite reasonable in price.

Atmosphere is everything. *A scavenger hunt that ends with the discovery of a bottle of champagne and two glasses. There are Many Ways to Celebrate
A single red rose, a bottle of wine and two glasses to share it, the key to your heart on a simple chain necklace, an aromatherapy candle, a book of gift certificates specifically designed for your loved one, or a framed photo of your special place can be very sentimentally sweet gift items.
There are many other items that won't break the bank as well. A valentine cake, a plate of homemade heart shape cookies, a good luck charm, a pair of goofy slippers, a teddy bear holding a small box of chocolates, the standard valentine heart chocolates, or a small bottle of cologne or perfume are all quite romantic yet inexpensive gifts. Start the Day With a Smile
We generally send the traditional Valentine's cards off to school with our children but it is nice to include them a bit more at home too. It is important for kids to know how special this day of love is too.
Heart shaped food or a chocolate fondue are ideal family treats for this special day. Kids need to celebrate as much as we do so be sure to include them into your plans too. A special dinner, a small gift, and a great big hug that says, "I love you". You can host a kid's fiesta before you head off on your couple date for two. |
