My husband and I celebrated our first Valentine’s together while dating. Picking out or creating the first gift for our first Valentine’s seemed like a lot of pressure. How much is enough? How much is too much? But, I knew Nick’s favorite movie and once I decided to create a theme gift basket around it, creating his gift came together perfectly!

I must of googled a million ideas around How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to get ideas. I included items like a deck of cards, mini motorcycle, faux fern and popcorn – all with little notes inspired by the movie.

Sometimes I think I have my husband all figured out and sometimes he completely takes me by surprise and I learn something new about him. Either way finding ways to say I love you can be a whole lot of fun!
