Anand has been looking forward to his first Valentine’s Day with Aprajita. Just one small problem, he is low on cash and does not know how to gift her something special. Do you want to gift her the moon but are unfortunately perennially bankrupt? Well, cheer up! There’s no need to despair; you do not have to make a dent in your wallet to tell her how special she is. Here are things you can do to tell the someone special in your life how much you love her. If she’s your Mona Lisa, be her Da Vinci If you are good at sketching then try sketching her portrait with a note attached to it, reminding her how special she is. Buy an ordinary coffee mug. Get acrylic paint and draw a heart and write the three golden words or something as simple as ‘You are special’. She is bound to find your gesture very touching. You can even flick a plain unused white cloth which might have been lying waste at home. Put it to better use. Paint your love on it, tell her all those things you have been wanting to tell her for a while now. If you know embroidery then try to embroider that special feeling on a pillow case or bed sheet. The three profound words that describe your feeling are a must here. Search the internet for e-cards. Make a collage. The photographs which have been kept inside the drawers will be of immense help here. From the first time you met her to the first day you went out together, the day you felt that she looked so pretty that you found it to difficult to take your eyes of her, if you have pictures that capture those moments this is the time to use them. Walk down memory lane and relive those special moments again. If you think you can do block printing get a potato cut into two halves and carve out a heart on one of the halves. Dip into red paint and try your hand at block printing. Feed her love Rather then spending time at an expensive hotel and shelling out money, try to make dinner or lunch at home. If you do not know how to cook take help from a recipe book. Cook a meal that she will remember. She will anyway, for it is not everyday that you volunteer to cook.

You might not be a Javed Akhtar, but if you have a flair for writing, use it. Try writing a poem which reminds you of her and all those moments you have spent together. If you feel writing is not your cup of tea, you do have net to turn to. Download the poems from the net which best describe your relationship or your feelings. Or if you feel being poetic is too metrosexual for your liking, just take a paper and pen down what she means to you. Just write on a pretty notepad and you could stick cute love stickers on it. Strum your way to her heart If she happens to be a music buff and you can play the guitar like Eric Clapton then you practically need nothing to floor her except that guitar of yours. All you have to do is serenade. Get down on your knees and play her one of the Bryan Adam’s number like ‘Please forgive me’ or ‘Everything I do’. If you cannot play the guitar try singing, as long as you are a good crooner. There are a number of songs to choose from, remember, John Denver (A song for Annie) to Rod Stewart (Have I told you lately). Record all those numbers and gift it to her. She will be delighted. Incase you are not a good crooner, just download some love songs from the net. If you love listening to the radio then you can record it from the radio. Call it your love special. Do not have a recorder? Beg, borrow and steal from your friend. And for those of us who are avid radio listeners what better way can there be to woo someone than to dedicate a song to the people we love? |
