So guess
what is coming up next week? That's right, Valentine's Day!!! February is the
month of LOVE and romance!
Kym and I
have differing views of Valentine’s Day. She thinks it is over- rated,
expensive and an excuse for people to buy presents for no reason. Kym and her
husband have a deal that they don’t buy each other anything. I think that
secretly she does want something, but won’t admit it! Kym would be over the
moon with either a card, flowers or just an ‘I love you’ but I know for a fact
that she would like a weekend away! Her husband is male however so he doesn’t
really catch on to Kym looking him in the eye and saying ‘let’s go away for a
weekend’ hint. So, they normally completely forget most special occasions and
don’t give each other anything for Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, Christmas….
Me on the
other hand, well I have had a love/ hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I
have been single for more Valentine’s Day than partnered up, so those years I
hated it (although occasionally I was still given roses so I loved those
years!). Now, however, I have an amazing
partner and can’t wait for Valentine’s Day! He has already told me he is buying
me a present and now I have the dilemma of what to buy him! He works away and
only gets back on Valentine’s Day so we have agreed that I would cook a
romantic dinner for us but presents are beyond me.
Yes, I agree
that Valentine’s Day is expensive and an excuse to buy something for someone
but what is wrong with that? What is wrong with wanting one night in the whole
year when it is just about the two of you, showing each other how much they
mean to you? I know that telling and showing each other how much they mean to
you should be done every day but how many people actually do that? Especially
when there are children involved and then most things revolve around them and
they don’t understand that mum and dad need some time out from them! Their
worlds revolve around them remember!
Either way,
Kym and I wanted to share our picks for what we would be happy with. Kym is a
mother to three lively boys so she would love the Lyla bag! It has heaps of
room for everything her three boys would need and she thinks this would be such
a gorgeous present for other mums or mothers to be.
My pick,
being without children, would prefer one of our gorgeous handbags, clutches or
evening bags. I have had my eye on a couple for a while, just didn’t know how
to sneak them past Kym! I also think
they would be the perfect present because they are all ON SALE!! That means
getting an amazing present without the expensive cost. You could also just buy
one for yourself and tell your partner he bought it….or it has been in the
cupboard for ages! lol.
So whether
you have Kym’s views of Valentine’s Day or mine, we both hope you have a
fantastic (and romantic) day. You can view the rest of our bags at www.totalbagenvy.com.au
Until next
time,
Kym and
Kristy xx
