Do you think that Valentine’s Day has become too commercialised? Most people would think that it has. However, as an ever romantic person, I say no. Admittedly shops exploit Valentine’s Day, but romance comes from within rather than from the shops!

A handmade card can mean so much more than a shop bought one. And if you wanted to stretch to a present, again, you do not need to head to the shops. Something home-made and romantic can far outweigh something bought. Good examples are a massage, a voucher book containing treats such as washing dishes, back rub etc, or even a home baked cake in the shape of a heart!
