Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Money
• Creativity

1. Decide how much you want to spend on your special honey. If you haven't been dating for a long time, it is probably not a good idea to drop a lot of money on him for Valentine's Day. Budget $20-$30 for Valentine's Day.

2. Find out what kind of candy your man likes. Go shopping for cute Valentine's Day candies in special packaging. Don't forget the card! Your man is sure to love a card that mixes humor into the holiday.

3. Purchase ingredients for baking, and bake him something special. Some ideas include: chocolate chip cookies, heart-shaped sugar cookies, and cupcakes with red icing.

4. Purchase something that you know your boyfriend will enjoy, such as a pair of Valentine's Day boxers or some massage oils (for you two to use, of course). Package the candies, baked goods, card, and other surprise in a red gift bag with tissue paper.

5. If you have the skills, you can cook him a special Valentine's Day meal. Two fun and romantic options are: 1. Steak with mashed potatoes, salad, rolls or 2. a breakfast theme with heart-shaped pancakes. Don't forget to set the mood with candles and flowers.

Tips & Warnings

• Stick to your budget. It is easy to spend wisely if you are creative. You can even hand-make a card for him.
• Discuss your plans for Valentine's Day with your man before the date.
