5 Valentine's Day Ideas On A Budget

Valentine's Day is around the corner... Are you ready? 

If you're like many of us, you are scrambling to purchase something before the big day. Don't panic. We have a few ideas we've put together for you... and some won't cost you a thing.

1. Share your feelings. So many times we think that the person who we are with knows exactly how we feel, however, even if they know, it's always nice to hear it. Though you don't have to wait till Valentine's Day to do this, it's always nice to be reminded. Turn on a candle, put on some romantic music, and let your pen do the talking. 
2. Cook him his favorite meal. Sometimes we get caught up with our every day tasks and begin to take things for granted. Maybe you cook every day and making him his favorite meal does not sound that special, however, when cooked specifically for him - on this special date, it is sure to feel different. Make it all about him (or her). Buy his favorite beer or wine, welcome him home with it, and proceed with serving the appetizer. Best part, it will be intimate and special. 
3. Print those pictures. Remember the days when we printed our pictures? Can you think of the last time you put together a photo album? Need it ASAP? Our friends at Walgreens will be able to help you with this. Time is of the essence, so pay them a visit and let your imagination flow. Learn more about their photo services, here.
4. Give him love coupons. This is a favorite of ours. Ever heard of LoveCoups? Keep the spice alive and take "boring" out of the equation. From a day at the stadium watching his favorite team, to a couples massage, to a weekend getaway, and even time with the boys, these love coupons are the gift that keeps on giving - and at around $25, it's a deal! 
5.  Music Playlist. Far are the days when we made CDs with our favorite songs for our significant other. CDs... Who has those anymore? Now we have Spotify, Pandora, and many other music apps that can help us achieve this, in a much quicker and environmentally friendly way.  Head over to Spotify and begin to create a playlist that expresses just how you feel. 

We hope these ideas will help make of your Valentine's Day an even more special day.
