Cheap Ways to Celebrate Valentines Day!

Written by on February 12, 2009

During this trying times, we knew how hard it is to budget our money but it doesn’t mean we have to set aside celebrating some important occasions worth remembering. Cliche as it may sound but “it’s the thought that counts” right?!

1. Create an Atmosphere – Set the mood and tone for a romantic evening. Fill the room with candles, sprinkle some rose petals, blow up a few balloons and if you are lucky enough to have one, light a fire.

2. Use your Literary Skills - Compose a romantic poem, and if you are musical, write a song

3. Scrapbook - Create a scrapbook of the milestones in your relationship, of happy and exciting times together (this could be online or offline)

4. Rely on Music – Burn your own CD of all your favorite romantic music or songs that remind you of that person

5. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Create a photo album or collage of places you have visited and moments together. This could be done online or burnt onto a CD with background music or the “old fashioned” way of beautifully filling a hardcover album or placed in an attractive frame

6. Dinner for Two – Use your culinary skills to cook a romantic dinner for two. Play the music you burnt onto a CD.

7. Turn to the Web – Dedicate and design a webpage of your love with about half a dozen free web-hosting tools on the net

8. The Treasure Hunt – Design a treasure hunt. This could be at key locations around the city, or special places the two of you have been to together. Leave little notes or give pieces of paper with clues at each place with the final destination, a romantic look out point or other unique setting.

9. Romantic Picnic – Take your loved one on a romantic picnic. This could be at the end of “The Treasure Hunt”, on the beach if you live near one, a lake or on top of a mountain.

10. Give an Everlasting Gift – Buy them The Friendship Stone, an everlasting keepsake that says “I love you, I will be there forever”; “You can always count on me” and “You are the most unique and beautiful person”.
