How to Come up with Money Saving Valentine Gift Ideas

Are you short of money and ideas on what to give your sweetie for Valentine Days? Do you want to give a little more than flowers or candy? Then read on for some ideas.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Think about what your sweeties favorite things are. Do they like to ski, listen to music, collect beer steins or pink poodle sweaters? Everyone has a favorite thing that they like.

2. Consider the game aisle at your local store and look for basic games like Yahtzee or Scrabble or a 10,000 piece puzzle that you and your sweetie can spend quality time together doing. Poor a couple of glasses of champagne, cheese and apples, and lower the lights and play a board game.

3. Shop at a 99 cent store and fill a basket with stationary items, small cans of after shave or lotions, etc., until you fill the basket.

4. Write down the things that you love about your mate, draw a portrait of them or even write a short poem and put it in silver frame and give it to them.

5. Take an ordinary object and make it special by putting their name or initial on it. Whether it's a scarf or a pillow case, you can use embroidery thread or craft paint to make it custom and special just for them.

6. Repair something for them. Is their necklace broken or a stone missing out of their ring, has their Ipod frozen up or their car window broken? Have it fixed for them and surprised them.

7. Don't over look something as simple as a home-cooked meal. Add their favorite dessert and you have a thoughtful gift that will be remembered for years to come.
