Fabulous Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day

--------

Wondering the best ways to treat yourself on such a highly anticipated day as Valentine’s Day? Well, follow me through this list of fabulous ways to celebrate. First things first, do you have a sweet drink in hand? Sweets and sugar are key for feeling the vibes of Valentine’s Day. A constant sugar high is a must. In fact, that just so happens to lead me straight into number 1!

     #1: Stock up on Valentine’s Day sweets. If you want to give your Pet an extra divine holiday, allow your Pets to savour some spectacular chocolates and sweets on Valentine’s Day.

     Red and Pink Scrumptious Sweets:

     Valentines Day Strawberry Bouquet- Chocolate dipped strawberries go with Valentine’s Day as Pirates go with Krawk Island. If your Pets haven’t had chocolate strawberries on Valentine’s Day, now is the time to start!

     Red Uni Ice Cream Cone- Don’t worry, no Unis were harmed in the making of this ice cream. This is a Uni-inspired ice cream and perfectly colored to fit Valentine’s Day.

     Pink Negg- Not only does this colour go with Valentine’s Day, but this is definitely a tasty treat. This Negg tastes just like candy floss!

     Feeling extra? Here are some extra pricey ways to indulge:

     Valentines Negg- This negg is such an adorable food item! Just make sure not to feed your Tonu this item, as it will make your Tonu sick with Sneezles. Also, this item is currently reported to be an inflated item, so check past prices before buying.

     Scorchio Valentine Cake- This cake looks so fitting. It is perfect for the more elaborate Valentine’s Day celebration parties.

     Isca Valentine Cookie Pop- The description says it’s big enough to share, but you can share with yourself too, right?

     Draik Valentine Chocolate- Currently there are no prices listed, so technically it’s priceless. But the description of the item says: ‘So sweet, you will only need one!’ So you can make your mind up whether it’s worth the priceless price or not.

     #2: A Valentine’s themed makeover! You can go all out by painting your Pet with the Valentine Paintbrush. Even if you don’t go to that extent, there are so many Neocash and Neopoint items that can fit this theme. In particular, if you’re in the Neocash game, Baby Pets can get especially dolled up for this holiday!

     Neopoint Item Recommendations: Valentines Earrings, Valentine Fyora, Valentine Armour Sword, Valentine Armour Body, Valentine Armour Helmet, Valentine Armour Shield, Valentines Day Tree, Acara Valentine Mirror.

     Neocash Item Recommendations: Beautiful Valentine Fireworks, Delicate Pink Valentine Parasol, Curly Valentine Wig, Valentine Rose Boots, Vintage Mauve Valentine Gown, Valentines Makeup, Valentines Cafe Background.

     Neocash Item Recommendations for Baby Pets: Baby Valentine Wings, Baby Valentine Jumper and Shirt, Baby Valentine Heart Shoes, Baby Valentine Feloreena Handheld Plushie, Handmade Valentine Arrows Garland, Lovely Valentine Frame, Premium Collectible: Valentine Glade Background.

     #3: Book your Pet a fancy stay at the Neolodge. Likely your Pet has stayed at the Cockroach Towers…yes, I know that there may be no difference in your Pet’s happiness, but have you looked at those nice pictures of the Deluxe hotels? What a great way to treat your Pet and celebrate Valentine’s Day! The five-star Faerie Castle runs at just 100 Neopoints a night! What a deal! Then of course there is the Presidential Palace, just 100 Neopoints more. And hey, if you’re already spending, might as well go all the way and book them at AstroVilla for 500 Neopoints a night. Whichever of the three you choose, they’re all five stars and your Pet will surely enjoy the luxurious holiday.

     #4: Valentine’s themed giving back! Now that you’ve indulged a bit, sometimes it’s good to give a little too. Send over a Valentine’s 's-themed gift to one of your Neofriends or head on over to the Money Tree and drop off some goodies to spread the love! Plushies and food are always a good bet for giving.

     Plushie Gift Recommendations:

     Valentines Bruce Plushie- Soft, squishy, with a heart on it’s tummy! A cute plushie in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

     Reject Valentine Xweetok Plushie- Why is this a rejected plushie? It’s as cute as any other. This plushie is a great gift to give on Valentine’s Day.

     Dr. Sloth Heart Plushie- This is the perfect gift to give your Neopian friend who has a love for Dr. Sloth or even for world domination because this plushie celebrates both!

     Food Gift Recommendations:

     A Hearty Meal- A hearty meal! Haha, get it? Hearty…Valentine’s Day. Ahem, anyway…this meal was given out during the Advent Calendar in Y16 and has a very affordable price tag making it a good gift to leave at the Money Tree.

     Hearty Pie- This pie has vegetables, gravy, and rich meat, warming you from the inside out. This is a great gift to leave at the Money Tree because no Neopet can properly celebrate Valentine’s Day on an empty stomach.

     Sweet Heart Negg- While a little pricier than the other foods listed above, this is a sort of two for one deal. Once you feed your Neopet this Negg, they will get another food item!

     #5: Get creative with it. One of the awesome parts of Neopets is the many ways you can partake in creative expression. Head on over to the Poetry Contest or Art Gallery, and try your hand at one of these activities with a Valentine’s Day spin! You can also update one of your Pet’s lookup or Petpage to fit the Valentine’s Day theme.

     #6: Make some new Neofriends. Valentine’s Day is about connections (and chocolate). Giving and receiving chocolate or candy is just one beautiful way to show you care about others. There are so many ways to make Neofriends:

     You can join a guild. There are many different guild themes, so it can be a great way to find a group you can gel with.

     You can post a friend-making topic on a Neoboard. There are many other Neopians looking to find a friend, so there is no reason to be nervous about starting a topic about finding friends.

     You can start a conversation on someone’s thread. Get the ball rolling by finding Neopians that share your interests and strike up a conversation!

     If you want a more natural way, becoming more active and aware of those who hang out on the Neoboards that fit your favourite Neopian activities, such as avatar collecting or stocks, can lead you to develop some great friendships.

          However you choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day there is no wrong or right way. Just make sure to give yourself some love. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
