What to get the Special Professional in your Life (Valentine's Day)
Valentine's is a time to appreciate those around you. If we all show appreciation we will receive it in return. This year life looks differently than any other year. So I don't want an expensive gift for the sake of getting something just because it's expensive. So I'm giving experiences and gifts that are meaningful and will impact my loved ones' life. And that's what I hope for in return!
What NOT to get me
This is going to make me unpopular. But I don't want expensive gifts for the sake of getting an expensive gift. I'd rather you purchase me a share of VOO stock! Don't know what that is? You should join the Money Club where we learn and discuss investments.
I would also want an experience that will allow me to disconnect and/or a gift that is functional for my life right now.
Candle Making Experience
In the photo above, you see Isaac and me making candles at a local candle bar. We had the place to ourselves. That was the perfect Valentine's experience!
For the family with kids, I recommend renting out a movie theatre just for your family. Many theaters allow it and prices range from $99-$200 to have a theater to yourself!
Here are my top experiences and gifts for men and women:
Foot Massage Experience. If your girlfriend or wife is anything like me, she loves a great foot rub! So make it special with candles, foot scrub and foot cream and her favorite chocolates. Then gift her a foot massager to keep under her desk while working so she will always remember you! Click the photos to see reviews and shipping details.
