ALT-5 Website Reviews Valentinescom
Valentine's Day is quickly closing in and like every year, people find ways to impress and cherish their significant other. Both men and women try to outdo the prior year by planning secretly (some even plan vigorously) to make it a day to remember. Some need advice and others don't. For those that need advice, they may read books or channel through various online sources - and one site they may come across is Valentines.com.
Valentines.com is an interesting site; the name alone arouses attention and curiosity. The home page presents a simple elegance - nothing special, nothing outrageously to the top; it's just simple. The background has a soft pink color, accompanied with a white center that shows a heart which is held by hands.
Valentines.com's slogan hovers above the page and reads: Helping you find the best way to show your love. So, the question presents itself as follows: Is Valentines.com an informative site? Yes, supported by the seven categories: 1) Chocolate, 2) Flowers, 3) Jewelry, 4) Lingerie, 5) Destinations, 6) Romantic Dinners, and 7) Miscellaneous (gift ideas).
CHOCOLATEIn the Chocolate category, it informs people that chocolate can be healthy and not always bad as some people may think. For example, one bullet point states: "Dark chocolate contains an antioxidant called flavanol, which keeps oxygen free radicals from damaging your cells." Moreover, this category provides the calories, chemicals, and the benefits of chocolate when consumed appropriately.
FLOWERSThis category simply informs how significant flowers are when it comes to romance. It also states that flowers do not need to be expensive to make an impact; they can be simple and have the same impact. Interestingly, it informs people to not be afraid and surprise their lover with an alternative like a fresh herb or a hydroponics garden.
JEWELRYJewelry is the something that many women think about when it comes to Valentine's Day (or any special occasion) because they are beautiful. In fact, jewelry is everywhere and makes a nice gift, but can be pricy. Because jewelry can be very expensive, this area informs people to choose other inferior jewelry if need be. It also states that a personalized jewelry (with a person's name, photo, etc.) would make it more important to the person that receives it.
LINGERIEThis category informs one not to go crazy and buy something too revealing if their partner has problem with her body. In essence, a woman needs to feel comfortable with what she wears. If she doesn't feel comfortable, it may ruin the scene. One statement reads: "If you buy something they'll never even have the nerve to try on let alone wear for you, your gift will probably end up tucked discreetly in a drawer somewhere never to be enjoyed." Some women do have problems with their body, so this statement renders truth.
However, the most interesting thing from this category is this: It states that men, too, have plenty of options when it comes to lingerie, although lingerie gears more to women. This is rather funny - and creepy - because men can care less if their women buy them lingerie. Is their even such a thing for men?
DESTINATIONSThis category is very interesting and provides great ideas. One idea that is presented is this: Because Valentine's Day falls on a Thursday, one can arrange a two-day or three-day trip (via driving) to a special location and enjoy their weekend. It also provides various ways to set the atmosphere in the car (mainly by sensual music), which would carry throughout the weekend.
Going to a quiet park to celebrate the day is also mentioned as a destination, including flying to a location - that is, if your budget allows you to.
ROMANTIC DINNERSRomantic dinners and Valentine's Day usually go hand in hand, because many couples celebrate the day by feeding their stomachs. This part of the site tells one how to approach the dinner differently by trying out different platters from the usual, trying a different glass of alcohol, etc. Basically, it informs people how to vary their routine.
Moreover, it states that one should request a quiet/secluded location in the restaurant when making reservations to enjoy their time, which would also be a perfect time to exchange gifts.
MISCELLANEOUS (Gift recommendations)This area of the site strictly presents testimonials from people who share their experiences and give advice on how to enjoy the day; moreover, the testimonials focus on the gifts they have received and so forth.
All in all, the Valentines.com is a decent site. It provides a lot of information, but are they fresh? Not really. The presented information is useful, but majority of them have been heard before and are known already by many. With that said, is it a must-see site? No.
However, viewing the site would not hurt. In fact, the most interesting thing about this site is the provided information on various ways to say those three special words. Yes, you guess it: I LOVE YOU. Located at the bottom of the home page, the site provides more than 50 ways to say "I love you" in various languages, which is absolutely fascinating and outstanding.
To that special beautiful woman in the future, SARANG HAE. Overall, Valentines.com is a decent site.
