Itโs not easy to remember buying chocolate and condoms between the stress of midterms and a potential strike.
Whether you want to go out on a date or stay home with friends, get inspired with some last minute suggestions for celebrating Valentineโs Day.
Easy baking
Yesterday, the technology blog Mashable released an article displaying 12 Pinterest boards for Valentineโs Day inspiration. Amongst a variety of outlets suggesting recipes for homemade personal treats is The Twineryโs heart-shaped conversation cookies.
If you donโt have time to make the dough from scratch, conversation cookies can be made by using two ingredients: Pillsburyโs Valentineโs Day cookie dough and classic candy hearts.
Even if you donโt agree with the โletโs kissโ or โlove suxโ messages, these cookies can be personalized with your own words by jumbling the order of the candy hearts within the cookie. Creating messages from โI love youโ paired with โmy babyโ or โU R specialโ with โlove sux.โ
The plaza on the corner of Bridgeport Road W and Weber Street in Waterloo has a Sobeyโs for the Pillsburyโs valentine dough day as well as a Bulk Barn for Valentineโs Day candy.
Another two step recipe found on Pinterest is Cookies and Cupsโ strawberry fudge. This recipe is made by mixing strawberry icing with a bag of melted white chocolate chips, set in the fridge to harden. Itโs not real fudge, but itโs festive.
Homemade cards
If youโre too busy to make Valentineโs Day cards and too broke to buy some, turn to your solution for everything else in life: the Internet.
There are lots of free printable Valentineโs Day card online, ranging from cartoon dictators to hilarious messages from characters of Community.
These cards can be printed off at home or from The Hub on campus using thick, laminated paper to make them look much more expensive than the 30 cents theyโll actually cost.
Other printable Valentineโs Day ideas also include V-Day bingo cards. Bingo cards can be customizable depending on who youโre celebrating with and what youโre willing to gamble.
