Valentine's Day Gifts On A Budget
How many times have you found that perfect Valentine's day gift
but lost your "heart" when you saw the price? Not everyone has
$50 extra for that beautiful bouquet of roses.
Here are some meaningful but inexpensive ideas for a Valentine's
Day gift that is sure to win the heart of your sweetie for the
rest of the year.
Hand Written Love Letter Write each other a hand written love
letter letting each other know all the reasons why you love each
other. Warning! You will need a tissue when reading the one that
will be written for you. This is one of those gifts that will be
cherished for a lifetime.
Valentine's Day Once A Month For A Year Think of twelve nice
things to do or acts of service gifts you can give to your
valentine. Write these twelve ideas on decorated paper or 3X5
cards. Buy a nice basket or pretty box at a craft store or
decorate a box you have around the house. Put all twelve cards
in the box or basket and each month starting with February 14th
of course, have your sweetheart pick one the acts of service
cards and do what is on the card. You will both begin to look
forward the the 14th of every month and will stretch Valentine's
Day out throughout the whole year.
Start Your Day With Love On the morning of Valentine's Day, wake
up before your valentine and make a breakfast with all his/her
favorite fixings. If you are making pancakes, make then heart
shaped (practice this before the big day) and add a drop or two
of red food coloring in the pancake batter.
Candle Light Dinner At Home This is similar to the morning idea
in the fact that you will be cooking. Make your valentine's
favorite dinner and serve it to him or her by candlelight. (Even
if this means that you wait to eat until the munchkins have gone
to bed. It can be difficult to prepare a large meal after a long
day but you both have to eat, right?
Valentine's Day gifts do not have to ruin your budget in order
for them to be meaningful. These are just a few ways in which
you can let that special someone know just how special he/she is
to you. Here's to a wonderful Valentine's Day!
