Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and, if you’re anything like me, you’ve already spent a shitload of money this month on eating out, hair foils, and Girl Scout cookies. So when I asked Brian what he wanted for Valentine’s, his response was “For you not to spend any more money.” Hmm, toughy.

Now I’m not very romantic (hell, I traded in my engagement diamond for a bigger one and I totally forgot where I put my wedding dress until I came across it when we moved) but I do like to acknowledge the holidays. So I started thinking “what would my husband like that wouldn’t cost any real money?”

Today, I’m going to give your 3 Valentine ideas that your husband will love without costing you a dime. I suggest that you present each gift as a personally photographed, handwritten card, and print it on recylced paper, like the back of your marriage certificate to give it that extra touch.

Here, let me share my cards as a way to inspire you and give you some ideas.

Idea #1 – Shave your legs: Because nothing screams “special occassion” like having lady legs.

My card:

Idea #2 – Dinner: Because not having to forage for food is a real turn on for men.

Idea #3 – Sex – Because…you don’t need a ‘because’. Men are simple. In fact, you could probably make this Idea #1 and forget the rest.

(yes, that’s really my nightie. and yes, I was as stunned as you when I found it in my drawer)

Because I’ve committed myself to shaved legs, dinner, and sex, I went out and got a vitamin E shot in preparation…thank god this trifecta only happens once a year.
