A premium box of chocolates and a bouquet of long-stemmed roses doesn’t necessarily rank in the budget-friendly category of gift giving on Valentine’s Day. And it’s not original either. We’ve rounded up some more affordable and unique ideas you might want to consider. Check them out…
- 52 Reasons Deck of Cards. Take a deck of cards and print on one side of each the reason why you love your loved one. It’s a nice reminder for him or her to look at often, and is sure to bring a smile to his or her face.
- Basket of Love. Get a simple wicker basket and think of all you loved one’s “can’t-live-without” items that would fit inside. Fill it up and gift it. They’ll love that you notice what’s important to them.
- Cherished Collage. Have photos of great memories you’ve shared together? Put them in a scrapbook and share it with your significant other! This even works with parents and children, too!
- Cook up some Love. No one turns away their favorite meal – especially if someone else does the grocery shopping, cooking and dishes afterward. Make your loved one what they love and take care of every detail.
- Road trip! Have kids? Hire a babysitter, recruit the grandparents or something – and take your significant other to one of his or her favorite spots for an unexpected day away. There’s nothing like a break from the routine and some unexpected fun.
