If you are strapped for cash this Valentine’s Day but you still want to spoil that special somebody and show them how much they mean to you, don’t give up just yet! There are some great ways of making Valentine’s Day extra special without breaking the bank. Here are some ideas:
Dine in
Instead of eating out at your favourite restaurant, you can eat at home. In fact, dining in can be even more romantic since you are all alone and free to skip dessert if you wish! When you dine at home, you can either cook your Valentine’s favourite meal or you can place an order at a nearby restaurant and collect or have it delivered. If you do order in, it will cost more than making the meal yourself but you will save time.
DIY gift
Instead of buying a fancy card, you can make your own Valentine’s Day card. You can also arrange a bunch of flowers yourself. It’s also cheaper to make your own vase rather than buying one. You can also buy a few of your Valentine’s favourite things (like their wine of choice and some treats they love) and package everything in a basket or box. Remember that you should never put cosmetics or creams in the same basket as anything edible. The scents from the lotions or perfume will transfer to the food and give it a horrible taste.
Cheap gift hampers
If you’re not great at putting together a gift hamper, you can search online for cheap hampers for Valentine’s Day. These hampers sometimes include everything from flowers and chocolates to a cuddly bear! This all-in-one gift covers all your bases and you don’t even have to leave home! Shopping online means that everything will be delivered to your door.
Time, love, and attention
The most important gift you can give is your time. Turn off your phone, turn on the music and enjoy a few moments alone with your partner or spouse. Give them your undivided attention and this will certainly prove more valuable than any other gift!
