Inexpensive Valentine Gift Ideas

By Susanne Myers

Over the past few decades, Valentine's Day has gone from a fun little romantic holiday into a fully commercialized day that's all about buying expensive flowers and even jewelry. Gone are the days where this day was about showing how much you cared about one another, or is it? With a little creativity, you can come up with some very unique and inexpensive valentine gift ideas.

Make Your Own Cards

Buying a pretty Valentine's Day Card has gotten expensive. Make your own card by digging through the craft box. All you need is a sheet of cardstock or even construction paper and a few decorations. Write a personal message on and inside the card. Dig through some old pictures and find one of the two of you. Cut out a heart shape from red or pink construction paper and cute a whole inside, just big enough to fit the picture. Glue the picture on the card, then glue the heart on top of it. Use other heart shapes, stickers, markers, glitter and any other crafting supplies you have lying around to finish the card.

Homemade Treats

You're also not stuck with having to buy expensive boxed chocolates. Surprise your sweetheart this year with some homemade treats instead. Dip some large strawberries in melted dark chocolate and allow them to dry on some wax paper. Sprinkle some chopped nuts or coconut flakes on the chocolate before it dries. Or allow it to harden and then melt some white chocolate. Pour the melted white chocolate into a Ziploc bag. Make small hole in the corner of the bag and use it to drizzle white chocolate over your chocolate covered strawberries. You can also make a batch of heart shaped sugar cookies, chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies decorated with a chocolate kiss, or even your favorite brownie recipe.



The Gift Of Your Time

One of the most precious gifts we can give these days is our time. With our many obligations, we often don't spend as much time as we'd like to with loved ones. Take an afternoon or even a whole day off and spend it together. Go to a movie, grab some lunch, take a walk together or do anything else the two of you enjoy. Cook dinner together and then snuggle up on the couch to watch a good movie. It doesn't really matter what you do as long as you make an effort to spend this special time together.

Menu Mailer - Make Dinner Easier

For an inexpensive gift that keeps giving all year long, make dinner easier with a menu mailer. Wouldn't it be nice to get a list of dinner ideas along with the recipes and a pre-made grocery list? With all the planning already done for him or her, the two of you will have more time to enjoy each other's company each night.

Five Tips to Keep Your Valentine's Day Romantic Feelings Going Strong Year-Round

By Felicia Slattery

Ah, Valentine's Day. The flowers. The candy. The cards. The fancy schmancy dinner in a "nice" restaurant. Sharing one decadent dessert with two forks. The romance. The soft music. The candlelight that makes everyone look amazing. How wonderful.

Then comes the rest of the year. After the flush of romance on Valentine's Day, most couples soon forget the sweet sentiments on the cards they exchanged and fall quickly back into their routines, which while somewhat necessary, can lead to boredom and stagnation in the relationship in a hurry.

To avoid falling into that boredom and stagnation in your relationship, try taking an approach written about by Bill O'Hanlon, author of Do One Thing Different. Change one aspect of your relationship and notice how powerful even a small, seemingly inconsequential change can be. According to O'Hanlon, "Although not everything is in your control, you do have the power to make your life better. The smallest changes in your life can move you in the right direction."

Here are some some small things you can change about your relationship that will keep those Valentine's Day romantic feelings going all year long. By the way, many of these tips are inexpensive or even free, so they work for even the tightest budgets!


Send each other free e-cards or virtual flowers on a regular basis. Websites like www.Hallmark.com and www.VirtualFlorist.com have developed a great way to have potential on-line customers experience their business: by offering free products delivered via email. Another plus is these services offer a wide variety of options to choose from, so you can send a funny or sentimental card or a photo of a beautiful bouquet or a fat-free box of virtual chocolates!

Start and end each day with the words, "I love you." By making this simple but profound expression of your feelings on a regular basis, your partner will continue to be reminded just how important s/he is to you.

Create a standing date that you never miss, regardless of life's circumstances. Decide what is important for you. You can read the Sunday paper in bed together while you enjoy coffee or tea together. You can go to church and breakfast together every Sunday morning. You can open a bottle of wine each Friday night after work and share your favorite moments from the week. Think of something you can do even if you are on vacation or other life events come up. You'll soon find yourselves looking forward to these special intimate moments.

Begin a "love journal." Write notes for each other in a book that you leave for the other to find: on his pillow, at her place at the dinner table, on the driver's seat of his car, in her bedroom closet. What would you write? Anything at all! Share your thoughts about an upcoming holiday, describe in vivid detail how you felt when you first met, re-live a moment from your honeymoon, explain your position about a recent disagreement, write a list of the top 10 things you love about each other. Whatever you can dream up, you can write in your love journal. Remember that the purpose is to draw you closer together.

Thank your spouse regularly. By offering a simple verbal thank you reminds your spouse that you do not take everything s/he does for granted. When he prepares a delicious meal, thank him for it. When she works long hours at the office to land a big client, thank her for working so hard. When he takes out the garbage, when she pays the bills - make sure your spouse knows how grateful you are by saying so.
What ideas can you think of that would work for injecting more romance into your everyday life? Remember, all you need to do is change one small thing to soon notice some big rewards. So instead of only having to look forward to the flush of romance Valentine's Day offers, you can have the entire year look forward to!

Romantic Gifts For Valentine's Day

By Barry Ohman

Valentine's Day that special day February 14 is soon to be upon us again and have you gotten something special for that lady in your life. Romantic Gifts are a sure way of letting that special lady in your life know that you care enough for her on Valentine's Day.

There are so many different Romantic Gifts that you may purchase, but first you must know what that special lady really appreciates. I guess you should already know what she likes and dislikes, otherwise she wouldn't be that special lady in your life.

If she is one that has a sweet tooth while then maybe Gourmet Chocolates are her preference and you should be able to purchase those online or locally at your favorite chocolate shop. Remember that Valentine's Day is a special occasion, so make sure that they are quality chocolates and not just the run of the mill store bought quality.

Flowers are definitely another way to get her attention if she is one who loves to receive flowers, especially a dozen red roses which I am sure will get her attention. If that special lady and you are having a long distance relationship, sometimes the easiest is to order flowers online and have them delivered to her at her home.

Perfumes and Jewelry are other Romantic Gifts that you may give that special lady on Valentine's Day. Whether it may be perfume or jewelry that you get her, make sure that you choose either that is of quality for a perfume or say for jewelry a nice pendant with chain or bracelet.

For the perfect Romantic Gift you could get that special lady something sexy like some exotic lingerie. I am sure that that special lady would like to wear something seductive for you on Valentine's Day and what a better way than to get her something ahead of time.

You must remember that for your special lady Valentine's Day is not the only special day in her life. There are those other days of the year that are just as important to her as they should be to you if you honestly love her and they include her birthday, your anniversary, Christmas and maybe a few others.

Valentine's Day Romantic Ideas.

By Sean Carter

It’s Valentine’s Day and could the mood get more romantic? It is the time for togetherness, the time to cherish the company of the person who makes your life more special and it is the time to love and be loved. So go ahead and do everything you can to make it a special and memorable Valentine's Day. In case you are a little out of ideas, check out this list of romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day. Club these up with your own romantic ideas and have an unforgettable Valentine’s Day. So here come some Valentine’s Day romantic ideas for you and your sweetheart to take up:

Everyone remembers their first date, right? So recreate that first date you had with your partner on Valentine’s Day and see the sparks fly. Just do it all over again—from what you wore, where you went, what you talked about, etc. This will literally be a romantic walk down memory lane and the thrill of reliving a new romance will also be there. So why not?

Write a self-created note to your beloved on Valentine’s Day. And if you are a woman, wear dark lipstick and put kiss-prints all over it. If you are a man, spray some of your daily body cologne on it. This will not only make your beloved feel pampered, but it will also add a tremendous boost to all the romance in the air on February 14.

Here’s another of the fun romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day that you can try out this year. Keep a tab on all the places your partner generally visits in a day. Leave a love note in each such place so that your sweetheart discovers a note everywhere he/ she lays hand on. For instance, leave a note in the fridge, under the plate, in the purse or wallet, in between the dollar bills and so on. This next Valentine's Day romantic idea is a little time-taking, but a winner for sure. Make a makeshift restaurant on your terrace and send a cute invite to your partner. Cook or get all the favorite dishes of your beloved’s choice and have a feast to remember. When the meal is over, get a bill and write on it: “salad price: one hug, pasta price: two kisses, desserts price: five kisses” to get your love beaming in all the innovation.

Now if you are a true romantic, then this idea is just the thing for you. Leave a trail of heart-shaped candies wrapped in red from the door to the bed of your partner. Then write a note like “My heart is where you are, my dear” and leave it on the bed. Make sure not to be there in the house when he/ she steps in.

Now if you’re looking for some simple and sweet romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day, check this out. On Valentine's Day, call your partner at work several times and tell him/ her how great he/ she looks and how lucky you are to be with him/ her. A compliment is as romantic as any other physical gesture. And it’s all that you beloved craves for each moment, more so on Valentine’s Day.

Or you may also organize a day-out on Valentine's Day with your sweetheart. Blindfold him/ her and drive to a place where you have already set up a blanket, candies, flowers and food of his/ her choice. Gifted a day like this, your valentine will gladly admit that you are the greatest romantic in the world.

Here’s a fun idea to pep up the romance on Valentine’s Day—buy a lottery ticket and attach a note on it—“I hit a jackpot when I met you”. Hide it with the other Valentine's gifts and give it to your partner as you wish a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ or ‘be my Valentine’ or ‘will you marry me’. Another of the irresistibly romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day—On February 14, you can replace the light bulbs in your bedroom with candles. Candles are a Valentine’s Day favorite for their warm snug glow and romantic effusion, so they might just help you get into a romantic mood. And if you are alone on Valentine's Day, you needn’t worry because here’s a fun idea for you too. Decorate your house with flowers, take along bubble bath, have some delicious food and watch your favorite movie. The quality time you spend with yourself will be the perfect Valentine's Day treat for you, and why not !

So try out these Valentine's Day romantic ideas and have a memorable time with your valentine. Remember to pack up your work early on February 14 and head straight home or wherever your beloved is to enjoy all the romance this Valentine's Day ! And here are some funnily helpful tips for you to bear in mind as you date full throttle on Valentine’s Day:

Useful Tips For Your Valentine's Day Date Make sure that you don’t give the same Valentine's Day card as last year. Don’t leave your date alone with your folks. Don’t blow your nose. Do not give her an engagement ring you got for someone else. Don’t get your partner a gift he/ she may be allergic to.

History and Meaning of Valentine’s Gifts.

By Natalie Aranda

“Love from your Valentine”, this was the message that was once passed by a very brave Christian martyr who gave his life for love. And he didn’t give it for his own love but for other’s love. He took everyone’s pain and gave everyone the love of their life. This was the great sacrifice that a man made. His name was Saint Valentine.

History

The history takes us back to the Roman period when King Claudius ruled. Earlier it is said that Valentines Day was started in Rome. The day was celebrated as a festival to honor the queen of Roman gods. She is recognized as the goddess of the female sex and matrimony. The next day was celebrated as the Lupercalia Feasts. On the eve of this festival only the youth were allowed to be together and rest of the time they were strictly kept separate. This was the theory that gives the origin of Valentines Day.

Another theory that gives the history of Valentines Day is the sacrifices that a Christian martyr named Valentine made for love. There was a requirement of a huge army, which the emperor of Rome was unable to make. It was only because there were many people who didn’t want to involve themselves in wars and go away from their families. So there was a great problem that Claudius the cruel was facing. So he came up with a very nice idea that sufficed his needs. He stopped people from entering into marriages. For this he passed a law also. But there were people who were against this law and also didn’t want to follow. So a priest named Valentine conducted marriages secretly. This laid down the foundation of Saint Valentine’s day which is now celebrated worldwide. This day is celebrated as this brave martyr died on this day.

Valentines gifts

Earlier Valentines Day was celebrated by exchanging love notes and expressions. People used to send anonymous letters and cards to their loved ones. But nowadays gifts have dominated the scene. However, giving gifts doesn’t mean that love has turned materialistic. But it in fact expresses your love and your emotions.

Your love is always true but is a waste if it is not expressed. And there are many gifts that are available in the stores that are specially designed for this occasion only. Valentine’s Day not only expresses your love and your emotions but will also win the heart of your sweetheart.
