When we heard that the average man spends $213 on Valentine’s Day, we thought about reporting Cupid to the authorities, because that’s just criminal. Two hundred dollars for chocolates, flowers, and dinner! No, thank you, candy companies. We’re not interested! We celebrated our first Valentine’s Day in high school in a pillow fort on the living room floor, scarfing takeout we bought with a gift card, eating grocery store ice cream we purchased with a coupon, and watching a DVD we rented using a Redbox promo code. That’s how we roll.

So, in honor, of that first Valentine’s Day when we didn’t actually spend anything but felt like we had everything, we’ve made a list of a few things we’d buy with $213 before giving it to St. Valentine, Cupid, and the rest of their band of thieves.

With $213 dollars, we’d rather buy:

— 11 Apple TV remotes, because if you’re anything like us, you lose it every day, can’t find it for two, and blame it on your pets. In times like those, it’d sure be nice to have a few extra, you know, just laying around…

— 36 cartons of cookies ‘n’ cream Blue Bell ice cream at full price, because you can never have enough of that!

— 2 orchestra seats at the ballet, because if Jordan’s gonna spend that much on a night out, he’s at least going to get a good nap and a really happy wife out of it.

— 18 lawn tickets to Spring Training in sunny Arizona, because there’s almost nothing better than tanning in February when the rest of the country is shoveling snow. Sorry, rest of the country, but it’s true.

— 1 very used sub-zero freezer purchased on Craigslist to house said 36 cartons of cookies ‘n’ cream (see above).

— 2 pairs of new cross trainers and a cutting edge workout DVD series purchased after midnight from a 1-800 number, because if we’re gonna spend $213 dollars, we’re at least gonna get one workout from it and be able to tell people, “Oh, yeah, we’ve done P90X before…”

We also have another superior way to spend $213 on Valentine’s Day without leaving your house (or your sweatpants) which, if you’re reading this and it’s still February 14, is exactly what we’re probably doing right now! Our dear (and adorable) friend, Heidi, is the founder, owner, and creative director of  Idieh Design, one of Arizona’s most LEGIT branding and design studios that services clients all over the USA — you know something this good couldn’t stay a local secret for long!  She’s one of the hippest, sweetest girls we know, and she also happens to sell the CUTEST little products tailored to the modern girl. Even TORI SPELLING is in love with her work. Yes, that Tori Spelling. So, whether you’re looking for polka dot wrapping paper, custom wedding invitations, a cell phone case that screams happiness, or stationery that makes you want to use pen and paper again she’s. got. it. all. And if you head over right now, you might be able to catch her Valentine’s Day special before it’s too late! Trust us, you won’t be sorry!

We got to snap a few photos of Heidi’s vibrant Valentine’s Day style and the whole time we just wanted to pull an Amy Poehler in Mean Girls, pinch her cheeks and say, “Ah, Heidi, ya keep us so young! Gah I love ya!”

To all our valentines out there, whatever your V-Day style may be, we hope it’s a fabulous one, so here’s a little inspiration to get you started!
