Love is in the air every February; red, pink, white, chocolates, greeting cards, flowers.\u00a0 But has Valetine\u2019s Day merely become a \u201cconsumer holiday?\u201d\u00a0 Here at Elfster, we\u2019re voting to take back the holiday for expressions of love!<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s a few low-to-no cost ideas for your beloved.\u00a0 Plus, you can add them right to your Elster wishlist:<\/p>\n
1. Make a Wish List for ONLY your one and only<\/b> 2. IOUs (I owe you\u2019s)<\/b> 3. Pictures! (In a Frame!)<\/b> Valentine\u2019s Day can be more substance than cost.\u00a0 How do you celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day?\u00a0 Let us know on our Facebook at @elfster, Tweet us @Elfster, or find us on Instagram @elfster.<\/p>\n
\nIf you haven\u2019t seen the big banner at the top of the Elfster page, you can surf directly to and start by choosing your one partner.\u00a0 Don\u2019t limit yourself to \u201cromantic\u201d possibilities — this is a great way for two friends to swap something for fun, or for a mother\/daughter exchange, and many other possibilities. Get started with your Individual Wish List by clicking to Start A Wish List<\/a>, then select the one special person who can view your wish list.<\/p>\n
\nKids give them to their parents, and vice versa, so why not give one to your partner?\u00a0 Booklets of IOUs can contain \u201cevery day\u201d activities; sure, doing the laundry together isn\u2019t sexy, but it can mean a lot when promised as a joint task.\u00a0 Be creative — offer to take on a task you may not enjoy but that your significant other would like a break from.\u00a0 Add this to your Elfster wish list<\/a>\u00a0and click “Text” in the “What Are You Wishing For?” box.<\/p>\n
\nThe quote isn\u2019t just trite, it\u2019s actually true: a picture is worth a thousand words.\u00a0 With all the smart phones with cameras out and about, take one with your best bud and find a place online to print it, or see if a local store will do it.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to receive a picture, give them a nudge by adding a frame to your wish list.\u00a0 Don\u2019t see one you like but know where to find it online?\u00a0 You can always add it to an Elfster wish list<\/a> via the \u201cLink\u201d tab at the top.\u00a0 Then it\u2019s a matter of picking out a snappy frame and presenting your memory together!<\/p>\n
