enjoy a romantic Valentines Day without spending much

Valentines is a few days away, and you have no idea what to get for your sweetheart this year. With the economy being the way it is, it's hard to spend money on his lovely day. Here are some easy tips on how you can spend this Valentines with your sweetheart without spending so much money - by using the things you already have at home!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Breakfast in bed - What a great way to surprise your sweetheart in the morning! Wake up a little earlier to cook your sweetie something yummy. Maybe heart-shaped pancakes or waffles with fruit and sweet syrup, cranberry juice, some eggs and sausages. Decorate it with some red/pink flower petals from outside.

  2. Step 2

    Write a love letter - Who doesn't like a love letter written by hand FROM the heart? Whether you are a poet or a beginner, as long as it's heartfelt and from YOU! You can write it, and stick in an old bottle with a cork.

  3. Step 3

    Home made coupons - Not like coupons from a store to save $1.00 on an item! Romantic and sweet coupons redeemable anytime - such as foot rubs, kisses, massages, etc... Just need colorful paper and pens and a stapler:)

  4. Step 4

    Movie and cuddles at home - Rent a movie you both will enjoy, set up a nice little area in front of the TV (blankets, candles, dim lights, popcorn and sweets). It's WAY better than paying for all that and sitting on uncomfortable movie seats!

  5. Step 5

    Romantic walk - If you are the outdoorsy type, you and your loved one can go on a romantic walk along the beach, and enjoy the sunset together. If you are not close to the beach, maybe you can enjoy a nice walk by the park and end with laying under the night sky with a blanket:)

Tips & Warnings
  • Enjoy things together. Pick things you and your sweetheart would like to do together!
  • You don't have to spend money to make Valentine's day romantic!
