Creative & Inexpensive Gift Ideas For Valentines Day
Valentine's
Day is quickly approaching, a day that each year puts fear
into the hearts of men. Every
year, you promise yourself that next year; you are going to
do something different. If you still do not have any creative
ideas for a special surprise, don't panic. Here are some Valentine's
Day gift ideas (many inexpensive) that are sure to please your
love on that special day.
Balloon Surprise
This one will require handwritten notes to
your Valentine. Phrases like "I love you", "Thanks for being
you", or "You mean more to me than anything" are
good as well as sayings that have special meaning only to the
two of you. You can write short memories of fun things you
did together, a memorable vacation or a special moment you
shared, like the birth of a child. Once you get the notes written,
cut them into small sections. Make sure each note is small
enough to be folded and placed in a balloon. You can purchase
a small helium tank and balloons at most party stores. Take
a balloon, insert a note into it, and then blow it up. When
your Valentine comes home, have her pop each balloon to read
your message of love.
Recreate Your First Date
Unless it was just a total disaster, your first date probably
holds a lot of sentimental value for both you and your loved
one. What better Valentine's Day surprise could there be than
to recreate the first date, a time when you first fell in love?
Go to the same restaurant, rent the first movie you watched
together, take her dancing to the same bar - whatever you did
on that first date, make it happen again. Even if it was a
disaster, you can recreate it, making it better the second
time.
Getaway Trip
This one will require more money and a little preparation,
but is sure to be great fun for both of you. Plan a secret
weekend vacation. If you have kids, arrange for babysitters
without letting your love know about it. Book the airline tickets,
make the hotel reservations and when Friday rolls around, surprise
her by having her bags packed, ready to go. Las Vegas is a
great getaway destination. You can even renew your vows in
a fun setting, like wedding chapel that has an Elvis impersonator
do the ceremony. If you cannot afford a big trip, book a weekend
at a bed and breakfast within driving distance. A getaway involving
just the two of you will be fun no matter where you go.
Special Songs
Here is an inexpensive way to show her that you remember those
special love songs. Make a compact disc of songs that have
special memories for you and your Valentine. You can do this
on your computer using iTunes or Windows Media Player. If you
do not have the songs on a compact disc already, you can even
download them from places like Amazon, Buy.com or iTunes for
less than a dollar each. Each time she hears this CD, she will
think of you!
Romance Scavenger Hunt
Buy small presents like a bag of candy kisses, a bottle of
her favorite perfume or a single rose. Then create a few presents
of your own such as a handwritten poem, a compact disc of special
songs, or a handmade Valentine's Day card. Write clues that
will be attached to each present, telling her where the next
present can be found. Make the last present something that
will last a while like a picnic dinner, a bottle of champagne
hidden close to the fireplace or lingerie in the bedroom.
Chocolate Fun
If you both love chocolate, this can be a very fun and sexy
idea. Make a batch of chocolate pudding and feed it to each
other sitting by the fireplace. You may want to place a blanket
or something on the floor in case it turns into a playful food
fight. To spice it up, remove one article of clothing each
time you feed your loved one and ask her to do the same. This
can even lead to a romantic shower for two, so have candles
ready in the bathroom.
As you can see from these ideas, Valentine's Day does not
need to be anything extravagant. It just takes a little effort
and creativity on your part and you can turn this Valentine's
Day into one that your special someone will remember forever!
