Greetings dear reader and welcome to the second in Jim’s Toy Box’ series of tips and thoughts for this years Valentine’s Day that can and will improve your existing relationship or help you forge a new one in a sincere and thoughtful way. Let’s talk about what your significant other really wants for Valentine’s Day. And I’m gonna let you in on a little secret… it’s not a fancy dinner or a designer handbag. It’s something that’s 100% free, and it’s something that you can give them every day. What on earth could be such a perfect gift?
It’s your undivided attention!
Now, I know you’re thinking “But that sounds boring!”, but trust me, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. And the best part is, it’s super easy to give. All you have to do is put away your phone, make eye contact, ask questions, show empathy, and let your partner finish their thoughts. And if you want to make it more fun, try turning it into a game. See how many of these tips you can put into practice in one day.
And if you’re looking for some budget-friendly Valentine’s Day activities, why not have a game night, go stargazing or have a picnic? Even if it’s cold outside, you can always bundle up for a night under the stars and then have a cozy indoor picnic. The possibilities are endless!
Keeping it short so I don’t loose your attention, remember this Valentine’s Day, make it less about the material gifts but instead give the gift of your attention. It’s the one thing that will truly make your wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend feel special and loved.
Now, go live, laugh, love and of course Play!
