Speak the Right Love Language this Valentine’s Day

February 14 is considered to be a special day for lovers around the world. This special day is a celebration of appreciation and love commonly expressed through gifts and romantic gestures. But Valentine’s day celebrations don’t always have to blow a hole in your wallet. Rather than spending on typical Valentine’s day gifts (flowers and chocolates), finding the most suitable way of expressing your love based on your partner’s interests may be a more impactful way of showing your appreciation for them.

A small gesture that can satisfy their specific love language will be remembered for a long time. Electrolux, a global leader in home appliances, will show you how a small surprise at home can give your loved one the biggest smile.

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Gary Chapman’s the Five Love Languages suggests that there are five ways to express and experience love. Each differs from person to person, and learning to “speak” your significant other’s love language can help build and strengthen a long-term relationship.

Acts of Service
From helping with the dishes to taking them out for a special treat—speakers of this language feel valued and loved when others help them willingly. If your partner speaks this love language, try to surprise them with little efforts like doing the laundry. Team up with the perfect pair that caters to your laundry needs. The Electrolux Time Manager front load washing machine and dryer will help you with your act of service.

Physical Touch
The key is well-timed and thoughtful hugs, pats on the back and kisses on the forehead. People with this love language value your physical presence. Appropriate and thoughtful touches communicate warmth, safety and love to these people.

A simple stay-in-bed movie date where you can cuddle up will be perfect. Ready your partner’s favorite movies and TV series and prepare a simple meal that you both can enjoy in bed. Keep the mood cool and relaxed with the Electrolux Viva Grande inverter air conditioner. Its I Feel Function detects and controls the temperature around the remote to maintain your desired coolness as you cozy up during your date.

Receiving Gifts
People who love receiving gifts aren’t necessarily materialistic. A person with this love language is after the love, thoughtfulness and effort behind the gift. A present that is well thought of, whether expensive or not, will surely make them feel loved and special.

Last time we got a lead from Spigen was when they sent us 4 different cases for the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last year so we’re confident these new ones for the M9 will also be spot on.

The HTC One M9 will be announced in Barcelona next month during Mobile World Congress. It is said to sport a Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM.
