Gift Ideas for Your Tween Valentine
Thursday January 22, 2009
Valentine's Day has never been a huge event at our house, we usually just exchange cards and chocolate bars. But this year could be different. The annual tradition takes place on a Saturday, and so we may decide to ratchet it up a notch.
If you're looking for gift ideas for your tween, below are a few ideas I considered today with my tween in mind. Of course, if you have ideas of your own, please feel free to share them with me and other parents of tweens. Just leave your thoughts below or in my forum.
- Popcorn rules at the Popcorn Factory. This is one of my favorite websites for easy and fun gift giving. The Tattoo Hearts Popcorn Hearts are individually wrapped and come in either a festive tin or box for $19.99, plus tax and shipping. Or, opt for the Chocolate Pizza, a crispy, chocolate, heart-shaped cookie topped with nuts, marshmallows, coconut, and sprinkles. It even comes in its own pizza box. $19.99, plus tax and shipping.
- There's nothing like dinner and a movie on a cold, Saturday night so we might just consider seeing one of the latest family-friendly films such as Inkheart or Coraline. If we hit the matinee, we'll save a little money which we can use at our favorite pizza joint after the movie.
- If your tween considers himself an activist, you're going to love this. The World Wildlife Fund offers great gift giving options for animal lovers wanting to make a difference. The Fund offers conservationists the chance to adopt an animal of their choice, with proceeds going to efforts to save critically endangered species. A $25 symbolic adoption comes with an adoption certificate, a photo of the species, and a species spotlight card which contains information about the animal, facts, etc. A $50 adoption offers everything the $25 adoption offers, plus it comes with a plush version of the adopted animal. Animals up for adoption include dolphins, hippos, hedgehogs, zebras, leopards, tigers, sharks, and dozens more.
- Sometimes, less is more. We may decide to stay home on Valentine's Day, make a meal together, then watch one of our favorite DVDs. It's cheap, fun, and gives us time together. What more can you ask for?
Well as an experienced married men. Here is my advice; What about buying a piece of jewelry, almost all women love jewelry even though they don’t confess.
This is going to be my 3rd year that we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with my wife. I have always wanted to give unique gifts to her. But since this year is the year for saving i wanted to give something affordable as well as special. I have found this “designer jewelry website by Aya Azrielant” with moderate prices. You should check it out. Here is the website;
