8 Valentine's Day Gifts To Make The Holiday Of Love Extra Special For Your Special Someone

Don't be afraid to be punny.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we start scrambling to find the perfect gift for that special someone. To me, Valentine's Day is more about the corny gifts that make you and your partner say "Awww" while the rest of the world thinks it's super cheesy. I've had my fair share of punny Valentine's Days.

For me and my boyfriend's first Valentine's Day together, everything was a pun. We saw "Star Wars" around that time of year so I bought him a Chewbecca and Obi Wan Kenobi Pop! Vinyl with the caption "Chew the Obi Wan for me" and I did throw in a little "Yoda best!"

Not to mention, I also threw in some gummy worms with a card that said: "I'm hooked" and Reese's Pieces with a card that read: "I love you to pieces." It's all about the puns!

1. Mixtape

Oh, how 1980s! Yes, it may be completely old fashioned, but what better way to say "I love you" than putting together every song that ever reminded you of that special someone?

2. Name a star after them

Some may find this idea rather silly, but Finn did it for Rachel in Glee (although, he named it after himself) and it was a great episode!

3. Scrapbook

If you saved some old movie stubs, tickets to that Broadway play you saw, or those polaroid pics you took at the beach one summer, throw them into a scrapbook!

4. Write a book

For my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, I made a book for him through LoveBook and it came out great! I made it the story of us, from when we first met to our one year anniversary. I was extremely happy with the way it came out!

5. Put your pictures to songs

For this, I used Windows Media Player. I picked out pictures and videos, put them to songs, and then burned it onto a DVD. It's like a mixtape and photobook combined. It's definitely fun to be on the receiving end because you never know which embarrassing picture is coming up next.

6. A bunch of snacks

Who doesn't love snacks? Especially in college, we need snacks! Whether you are sending it in a care package, or hand delivering it to them, everyone appreciates a good snack.

7. Dinner

Getting all dressed up and going on a date pretty much makes the perfect evening. We're in college, how often do we get to eat non-campus food? If you're long distance, FaceTime your dinner. Unfortunately, that will mean sticking to campus food.

8. Love letter

Super corny, but this is especially cute for the long-distance relationships. Nothing more romantic and old-fashioned than handwriting a letter and sticking it in the mail.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
