Okay so apparently one day of romance wasnt enough and now we have an entire week dedicated to love Valentine's Week is basically 8 consecutive days of celebrating your relationship and honestly its either incredibly romantic or incredibly exhausting depending on how you look at it and how much effort youre willing to put in lmao.
But heres the thing you dont have to go all out every single day like youre not competing for some award here. Think of it more like a roadmap of opportunities to show love in different ways throughout the week some days you go big some days you keep it simple and thats totally fine your partner will survive without grand gestures every 24 hours trust me.
Lets break down each day so you can plan ahead instead of panicking every morning wondering what todays supposed to be about and scrambling to make something romantic happen before they wake up.
ROSE DAY FEBRUARY 7TH Start Simple Start Sweet
Rose Day kicks off Valentine's Week and its pretty straightforward give roses express your feelings dont overthink it to the point of paralysis.
Red roses are classic for romantic love yellow for friendship pink for admiration white for new beginnings or just go with whatever color they actually like coz forcing symbolism when they hate red roses is kinda pointless rofl like if they love purple give them purple roses who cares about traditional meanings.
You dont need dozens of expensive roses either a single rose with a genuine note hits harder than a giant bouquet with no thought behind it just money thrown at the problem. Surprise them at work leave one on their pillow present it over breakfast timing matters more than quantity honestly.
Foundation Gift tip pair roses with meaningful jewelry our Initial Birthstone Necklace at 1499 combines the traditional romantic gesture with something shell treasure forever not just until the roses die in three days.
PROPOSE DAY FEBRUARY 8TH For The Brave Souls
