5 Inexpensive Valentine Gifts Your Wife Will Love

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to let your wife know how much you love and appreciate her. Most women just want validation and for her husband to do something - anything - to make her feel special. That doesn't mean you need to spend big money, it just means that you need to get creative and be willing to put a little time into creating the perfect gift for your sweetheart. Our top 5 inexpensive Valentine gift ideas include: 1. A Simple Valentine Card or Romantic Love Letter - You don't have to be a poet to get your point across with this gift. If you have a computer, there are many websites that offer greeting card templates, clip art, etc. Find an appropriate template and print it out on nice stationery. If you really want to impress her, handwrite your message! 2. A Giant Heart-shaped Cookie - If you have some rudimentary baking skills, you can make her a personal treat to remember. Buy a roll of refrigerated cookie dough, and roll it out. Using a sharp knife cut the dough into the shape of a heart and then bake the cookie according to the package directions. Decorate the cookie with sprinkles, candy hearts, or colored icing. If your decorating skills aren't very good, cover the cookie with plain icing and then use candy letters to spell out your message. 3. A Hand-made "Gift Certificate" For A Day to Herself - If you have kids, and your wife is the primary care-giver, give her a day off to enjoy herself "guilt free." Your certificate could include cooking, cleaning, and caring for the kids. Or, if she would prefer a day at home to herself, you could take the kids out for the whole day; just make sure you feed them or bring dinner home with you when you return. 4. A Photo of you and her in a beautiful picture frame - Photos can be a reminder of the best times you have shared together. An elegant or romantic picture frame is the perfect way to showcase these memories. 5. A CD compilation of her favorite or romantic music - Making your own CDs has become easier than ever with the proliferation of music software. Almost all computers now have the ability to create CDs that are compatible with modern stereos. The CD could include music from her favorite movies, albums, etc. If you don't own the CDs for her favorite songs, you can buy individual music tracks online. To score extra points, get creative again and create a CD case with a personalized cover. Whatever you choose to do, the important thing is to give her something that lets her know how you feel, and she will be guaranteed to love your Valentine's Day gift!
