Since becoming a mom, Valentine’s Day has been a day where I spend countless hours helping my son make Valentine’s for his little classmates. Call me a “Valentine’s Day Grinch” if you want, but I don’t usually go all crazy about February 14th. Now, the 15th (which so happens to be Singles Appreciation Day) is where the fun is at! Can we say 75% off Valentine’s Day chocolate!! Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day (on the 13th) or just looking forward to the heavily discounted chocolate, Amazon Echo got you covered.
How To Make the Best Of Valentine’s Day With Amazon Echo
This post is in collaboration with Amazon.
Galantine’s Day
Suprise your best girlfriends with a batch of homemade Valentine’s Day cookies. If you’re new to baking sweets like I am, having the Amazon Echo around is a great idea. I don’t know about you, but when I’m cooking or baking something new, I usually have my laptop or iPhone with me so that I can look up the recipe. It works fine but not so when you have hands covered in flour. The Amazon Echo is in free and allows you to ask questions like “Alexa, how many thirds are in a cup?” (legit thing I googled when baking lol).
Valentine’s Day
Ahhh the day of lovers! Did you know you can ask Alexa to find popular restaurants near you? Perfect for a date night with hubby. You can also ask Alexa order a last-minute present (you need Amazon Prime and voice purchase enabled).
Single Appreciation Day
I’m not single, but February 15 is my favorite day of the year. Actually, any day after a major holiday is pretty awesome! That’s when things tend to go on sale and who doesn’t like a good deal? After you stock up on chocolate, you can have Alexa play some of your favorite music or maybe even tell you a funny joke, if eating chocolate and listening to jokes is your thing (no judgment here!).
About The Amazon Echo
Amazon Echo (129.99$ on Amazon.ca) is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more–instantly.

Hope you found these tips useful. I’ve been using mine for a little over a week, and I just love using it. We have some home renovation planned for the next year or so, and one of the things we plan on getting is accessories to transform our home into a smart home. So excited about that.

We were early adopters and got it when it was first released here in the US a few years ago. Since then we’ve added a few more (3 in total) along with the Echo Spot and Echo Dot. I even have one in my bathroom so I can listen to relaxing soothing music when I’m taking a bath, and she controls almost everything. However, there are times when Alexa creeps me out by just speaking when not spoken to. ?

I’m still holding out on the purchase of a device like this but I’m definitely looking forward to Valentine’s Day. It’s one of my favorite celebrations of the year.

We love our echo! We have them in 3 rooms and use them all the time. WE love to play music on them!
Liz Mays says
I don’t have one of these yet, but everyone (and now you) keep singing its praises. I need to get with the program and get one over here too.

My sister has an Amazon Echo, but I don’t. I am still technologically challenged with this device and I am not sure if we need it or not. It sure does some amazing things! I will give this a thought again sometime.

I live for our Amazon Echo! I keep our grocery store shopping list on it, listen to music on it, and of the course the kiddies find it hilarious asking Alexa something! It definitely makes a great gift!
Jeanine says
We have an echo and echo dot in our house! I’ve never really paid attention to them or tried them I’m going to check them out. They are my hubby’s and oldest sons so I’ll have to see!

Yes, Really I surprised my girlfriend with the new Echo Plus speaker this valentine day. It was a unique gift for her and she was very happy when she started the conversation with Alexa.
