So, tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I'm pretty much the only one at Amayzine who thinks this is a nice day. You probably expected that from me. Not that I expect a lot of things and am overly affectionate among all the other lovey-dovey couples, but a sweet card, flowers, and an extra big kiss, hasn't anyone ever gotten worse from that?

Maybe he has secretly already gotten the strawberries and toast with honey at home and you will get breakfast in bed tomorrow, but you can also surprise him by making a delicious breakfast for him (and yourself). You have a bit more control over it and you can be sure that you won't get limp croissants and over-brewed tea. Win-win.

Here at the editorial office, we all agree that we prefer to have breakfast served at the table rather than in bed. It's a bit awkward after all. Crumbs, spills, it doesn't sit right and it's not really comfortable to eat. So we are going to set the table with a fun tablecloth, light the candles, and play some cozy Sunday music.

Don’ts:

– A flower in a vase. And especially a rose. That's lame. Okay, okay, one flower is allowed, but it has to be a very special one.

– Juice from a carton.

– A sandwich in a heart shape and then the egg in it.

– A hard-boiled egg.

Do’s:

– Here everyone shouts ‘mini pancakes with blueberries.’ And put the blueberries IN the batter, not next to it. With a dollop of quark on the plate as well.

– Smashed avocado with a poached egg (if you poach, you impress).

– Fruit salad is always good. Make sure to cut it yourself, not pre-made.

– Transfer the jam into a nice little bowl. ‘But then I think he is gay,’ says May.

– You understand that this is actually also a post for the man, so just slide it under his nose.
