7 Things To Get Your S.O. For Valentine's Day That They Won't Be Expecting

Everyone knows the basic Valentine's Day gifts- chocolate, teddy bears, and roses. But after years of the same thing, sometimes it's time to think outside the box. Here's a list of things you can do outside of the Valentine's Day aisle.

1. Bake something

Giphy

Food is a must, but instead of candy, make them something from the heart! Even if it doesn't turn out exactly like you expected, its the though that matters.

2. A massage

Giphy

Valentine's Day should extend beyond February 14, and this is the perfect way to do it! Allow them to relax and get some alone time while keeping you in the back of their mind.

3. A handwritten letter

Giphy

Ditch the cards section and write your own card this year! It saves money and it shows you put the time in to make it by hand.

4. Clothes

Giphy

This sounds like a weird one, but getting them something you know they'll look good in (and reminding them of it when you give it to them) will ensure they'll be flattered and get good use out of it.

5. Phone charger

Giphy

You can make anything romantic, and this is a perfect example. Add a caption like "to keep us connected no matter what" or "you energize my life" and you've got a gift that is cute and practical.

6. A pillow/blanket

Giphy

Not only is this gift always needed, but it will be perfect for end of the night snuggles!

7. Cook their favorite meal!

Giphy

Instead of buying chocolate, go buy a nice juicy steak or whatever they love to eat! And the best part- you get to enjoy it too!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
