I do appreciate it when a holiday or event can inspire a Ten on Tuesday topic and that’s why today’s topic is 10 Fun Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day. Ready?
- Bake heart shaped cookies and frost them. If you don’t like baking cookies then
- Bake brownies and cut them into heart shapes with a cookie cutter. To make them extra special you can
- Dip them (or anything else that holds still long enough) in chocolate and add sprinkles.
- Make homemade Valentine’s Day cards. This is way better than buying one at the store. It’s cheaper, too. If you don’t want to buy or make a card then just
- Tell someone you love them. It doesn’t have to be a romantic love, either, because love is love.
- Wear red! My favorite is red shoes but I don’t have any right now. I do plan on wearing those socks from Monday’s post, though, when I
- Cook something special for dinner. I’m not a fan of going out on Valentine’s Day as the restaurants are overcrowded and overpriced. It doesn’t have to be fancy, either. The thing Dale loves the most, quite frankly, is a cheeseburger. After dinner it’s always fun to
- Watch a romantic movie and those brownies and cookies.
- Or watch a scary movie and bury your head in your partner’s shoulder when the parts you can’t bear to watch come on.
- Take a photo of someone you love. Save it and gaze at it and remember the moment.
Cheesy stuff, right? At least I didn’t put anything on here about buying roses!

Kym Said,
Love is sort of cheesy. . . when you get right down to it! Happy Valentine’s Day, Carole. Have fun wearing your socks . . . maybe while you’re shopping for new red shoes??? XOXO
margene Said,
Dude! You need red shoes to wear with the socks! Cheesy is what’s happening!
Katie K Said,
We also buy each other flowers and chocolates.
Hope you survived the snowstorm ok.

A couple years ago I made hubby homemade cheezits … those were a huge hit. Have to come up with something good to make for him this year – might go with the frosted brownies, he loves him some brownies!
Seanna Lea Said,
There is nothing wrong with cheesy. I have done chocolate dipped ice cream sandwiches. They were a bit over the top!
Jo Said,
Love the cheese! I think Valentine’s Day is a great reason for the hokiest romantic stuff you can think of! Enjoy!
Kristi aka FiberFool Said,
I’m definitely with you on not going out for Valentine’s Day for dinner. I love that you didn’t include roses, though I’m surprised you didn’t suggest tulips
Hillary Said,
That’s a really sweet list. A little cheesy but then, so is V-day when you get right down to it. What I really love is the sprinkles in that picture. Too cute.
Knitnana Said,
Love your list! Might have to try those brownies…I think I have a low-fat recipe, and the sprinkles don’t have to be heavy….
Thanks!
Teri Said,
Okay, you got me with number 10.
Mary K. in Rockport Said,
Awww, what a sweet list.
Beverly Said,
Great ideas! Neal & I always exchange home made valentines. It is so much fun to see what he creates!
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
I didn’t see anythng about cheese–only chocolate
All fabulous suggestions. I might just do a bunch of ‘em.
jill Said,
Another terrific list and a fun format as well! It’s Party-Palooza in my classroom. We’ve got Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day, and my birthday. I’ve planned something fun for each day of the week.
