Top 10 Silly Valentine’s Ideas

Contributed by Rose Garland, Catalogs.com Info Guru

There are more famous quotations, poems and sayings about love than any other emotion, from Shakespeare to Elizabeth Barrett Browning and everyone in between.

Love may be patient and kind, but it can be silly too. If love weren’t a little silly, no bunny – err, nobody – would have those cute funny nicknames that everyone thinks no one else knows about.

Celebrate the silly, wonderful side of love with these ideas that go beyond the traditional box of chocolates and red roses.

Here are the Top 10 Silly Valentine’s Ideas:

10. Chocolate gator

Valentine’s hearts are so beautiful, and yet so expected – instead, why not go with the unexpected and buy your sweetheart a chocolate alligator? Nothing says I love you, like chocolate, and umm… teeth.

Other offbeat chocolates can inspire a Valentine’s laugh … there’s always chocolate undies.

9. Pretend you’re at the beach

Can’t afford a vacation this year? Bring one home. There’s nothing as romantic as a private beach. Put out a towel and a pillow, don your swimsuits and sunhats, and don’t forget your sand bucket. Daiquiri anyone?

8. Hairspray or Rocky Horror Picture Show

Do you remember going to the 12:00am screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and acting it out? If that’s you, try watching it again and act it out together.

7. Give funny cards

Instead of the normal Valentine’s Day card with sweet nothings, buy a totally unique card that expresses the silly side of you. Not a card person? Just buy some Valentine’s stickers and stick them wherever you want your Valentine to look ….

6. Post-its

Robert Browing and Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote love notes to each other for years. Do the same thing, but with post-it notes. Put the post-it’s where you know your Valentine will look, like the bathroom mirror, the window of their car, or on your last soda.

5. Make saucy minx cookies

Anyone can buy a box of candy hearts with pre-written messages, but make your own cookies and you can add whatever saucy messages you want. Just make sure to eat them before any kids see them.

4. Build a love fort

Remember how fun it was to build forts in the living room when you were young? Try building one together, and add your own recreational activities.

3. Googly eyes

Googly eyes are about as silly as things get and if you are ga-ga about your Valentine, these will let her know. Buy stick-on googlies from your nearest stationary or craft aisle, and stick them places that are sure to make your sweetie laugh.

2. Serenade

Serenading someone can be sweet… or hilarious. Pick the funniest, most terrible song you know and sing it to your Valentine. You’ve only succeeded if they cry from laughing and still kiss you afterwards. Don’t forget to dress the part!

1. Pick-up lines

Make your Valentine laugh with funny pick-up lines and text or email them to your Valentine all day long. From sweet pick-up lines, “Is your dad a thief or something? Because someone stole the stars and put them into your eyes!,” to the just plain funny ones, “ If you were a new sandwich at Mcdonalds, you’de be called McGorgeous,” there are a lot to choose from.

All of these ideas are from one writer’s imagination, but Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to show your own fun and creative side. If you have a funny or silly Valentines idea, why not share it here?
