7 Affordable and Unique Gift Ideas for Valentines Day
By Jill Peterson
Love is in the air – you can feel it coming when gifts of roses, sparkling diamonds and expensive dinners become "de rigueur" of this romantic day as love is widely celebrated. What if you're watching your wallet or perhaps looking for something more meaningful, unique and special? Then, these Valentines day ideas are for you.
They are not meant to be a cheap date but rather a creative way to express you love
for that special someone. Trust me, your beloved will appreciate your thoughts.
1.
Write all you ever wanted to say to your lover in a pretty notebook. Maybe you're
in a long distance relationship where face to face dates are rare, jot down all those
love smses you send. She or he recaptures those feelings again when you're not around.
2. Create your own " love voucher". Be creative, it can be a chore you hate doing (dishes, laundry etc), words that you're too shy to express (this is useful for women in conservative societies wanting to hear "I love you" from their men), or much needed quality time together (in my opinion, the cause of breakdown in many relationships).
Whenever these actions are wanted, love vouchers can be redeemed, and for the fun
of it, include an expiry date!
3. Make a love pledge to love each other unconditionally.
Attaching a small meaningful gift would be perfect for the occasion.
4. Go back to
places that hold sweet memories for both of you. It can be where you had your first
kiss, where you met, where you proposed.
5. Make a personalized card. Can't draw?
No worries, take a favorite photo of you two together, cut and paste, embellish with
dried flowers, foliage, shells....anything pretty will do the trick.
For those who aren't good with words, get a clue from online poetry sites. Or, simply
list out ten things you like about him or her.
6. Print out a map of the constellations,
grab a comfy blanket, pack handy snacks, then head out for some stargazing if the
weather is good.
7. Prepare a romantic dinner together at home. If you aren’t good
in the kitchen, order a takeaway and stay in. Create romantic atmosphere with your
favorite music, wine, scented candles, and the bed is just a few footsteps away!
Whatever
your plans are, the best dates are those spent with someone whose company you enjoy,
no matter where you are. Money can't buy a great date. Happy Valentines Day!
