I can hardly believe that Valentine’s Day is just a couple of weeks away! Seems like it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Christmas and the New Year but before you know it here we are again! We’ve already arrived at the next big gift-giving occasion of the year.
Valentine’s Day is usually thought of as a day for lovers, but it’s really a day dedicated to all kinds of love: friendship, family, and romantic love alike. Whether you’re single or attached, Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate what’s great about the people you love.
Traditional notions of Valentine’s Day involve giving a romantic gift to that special someone –things like jewelry, lingerie, roses, chocolates, heart-shaped candies, champagne, and candle-lit dinners are the defining hallmarks of this occasion. But the commercialization of Valentine’s Day has created a prickly set of expectations that revolve around these material gifts and gestures. On the one hand, not conforming can create disappointment and speculation as to your true intentions, on the other hand, not giving the specific type of gift or experience that someone expected can also create disappointment –a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation!
I think gifts from the heart, in whatever form they take, are always the best. And naturally I’m biased when it comes to giving the gift of aromatherapy and green beauty! What better way to say ‘I love you’ than to give someone a gift that helps them relieve stress, nurture themselves, or just makes them feel good? And for couples, gifts you can share or use together (i.e. bath salts, massage oil, products for mani-pedis, candles, etc.) are also a wonderful way to celebrate the occasion. That’s why our web site special this month is 20% off all our body care aromatherapy gift sets and 15% off natural bath accessories, bath salts and our Enchant and Inspiration clean-burning aromatherapy soy candles. All great gifts you can give, share or enjoy all by yourself!
Of course if you’re a subscriber to our Dropwise Health & Beauty News bi-weekly ezine or a fan of the Dropwise Essentials Green Business, Aromatherapy, Health & Wellness page on Facebook then you get additional discounts and offers not available anywhere else.
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
