20 Healthy Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day of chocolate hearts, chocolate kisses, or chocolate candies.

Do notice a common thread in this gift list?

Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. A little chocolate is good, but boxes of it sitting around the house can be the cause of temptation, which is not good.

So, with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought I’d post a list of a few favorite non-fat gifts to give yourself or a friend.

1. Bling – Always a favorite gift

2. A spice grinder – Practical, useful and great for spice blending

3. A computer – A new computer is always a good thing

4. An Ipod – A nice addition to add to your exercise routine

5. A Spa Visit – Ahhh, which woman wouldn’t want this? Or man, of course!

6. A donation to Iowa Avenue – This will help keep your community’s lights on for a long time while we provide you with our “fresh” updates, goods and services

7. A healthy, romantic dinner – To remind you why you are with your significant other, and to share your healthy eating together

8. A box of herbal teas – For those relaxing evenings by the fire

9. Seeds for your spring garden – Starting seeds in February or March will give your plants a jump start for fall – See the metaphor……………..:)

10. A new bed pillow – a fresh fluffy pillow always makes people feel sweet

11. Perfume – It’s an old stand-by, but along with diamonds………..

12. Some new CD’s – For your dancing and listening pleasure

13. A shopping afternoon - Get a babysitter and go shopping for what you want for Valentine’s Day

14. Personalized art work – Pictures are personal and motivating

15. A new set of Stainless Pots and Pans – To help you with your new healthy living meal planning and cooking

16. A pedometer – Keeping track of those steps is a great motivator

17. A new car – Hey, if you can afford it, why not?

18. A pair of sexy underwear – There’s nothing like the feel of sexy underwear on your tight ass.

19. A book – Who is your Favorite author?

20. A membership to Iowa Avenue – This one is free, so give away as many memberships as possible to as many people as you know. Because

After all, it’s about a healthy lifestyle.

For all of you members of the Blog365, this is tomorrow's blog post........................:)

But if we do decide to join in the gift giving I'll send him to this list :)

Comment by TB on February 8, 2008 at 7:34pm: Of course "bling" would be first. I asked the residents at my nursing home if anyone knew what "bling" was and I got a great blank look.

We are remodeling our kitchen as a birthday, Christmas, Valentine, etc. gift to both of us. It's been a long time coming and finally getting around to it.

((better pick up a little bling to go along with it))

Comment by Lisa Newton on February 8, 2008 at 8:10pm: LOL...........This post was the first time I ever wrote the word "bling" and I rarely use it in real life. It just felt right in this post.

A new kitchen is a perfect family gift. I wish you and your family many happy meals there.
