Surprise! It's Almost Valentine's Day!

Whether you have a significant other or not, Valentine's Day is a day to remind someone you love how much you love them. My favorite way to do this is with a surprise. I have always been a hopeless romantic and love to think of cute and creative ways to surprise my friends, family, and boyfriend like they do in the movies. When I was 10 I would deliver heart shaped cupcakes and candies to boys I had crushes on in my neighborhood. Although, that didn't work out so well in my favor (I still get teased about it to this day) these are some really cute and thoughtful ways to surprise the people you love this Valentine's Day.

1. One of my favorite things to do is surprise my mom with flowers and a card waiting for her in the kitchen right when she wakes up in the morning. I added a card because last year my mom was convinced the flowers were from her boyfriend and he almost got all the credit! It's simple, sweet, and unexpected. Mom's love that kind of stuff!

2. Forget the flower or chocolate deliveries, deliver something yourself that only this specific person in your life would love or understand. You know all of their favorite things so taking the time to put a gift together and leaving it on their doorstep for when they arrive home is a thoughtful surprise anybody would appreciate.

3. Low budget this year? Me too. Pinterest has plenty of Valentine's Day recipes that will cost you close to nothing. Last year I made my boyfriend strawberry chocolate chip cookies and he insists that's all he wants from me this year. 

How cute are these?!

4. Remind them of all the good times you've had. I'm a very sentimental person and love reminiscing. Get a jar or a box and fill it with little notes reminding them of all your best memories and leave it in their bedroom to find. I promise you, they will hold on to it forever!
