How many times have you found that perfect Valentine’s day gift but lost your “heart” when you saw the price? Not everyone has $50 extra for that beautiful bouquet of roses.
Here are some meaningful but inexpensive ideas for a Valentine’s Day gift that is sure to win the heart of your sweetie for the rest of the year.
Hand Written Love Letter
Write each other a hand written love letter letting each other know all the reasons why you love each other. Warning! You will need a tissue when reading the one that will be written for you. This is one of those gifts that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Valentine’s Day Once A Month For A Year
Think of twelve nice things to do or acts of service gifts you can give to your valentine. Write these twelve ideas on decorated paper or 3X5 cards. Buy a nice basket or pretty box at a craft store or decorate a box you have around the house. Put all twelve cards in the box or basket and each month starting with February 14th of course, have your sweetheart pick one the acts of service cards and do what is on the card. You will both begin to look forward the the 14th of every month and will stretch Valentine’s Day out throughout the whole year.
Start Your Day With Love
On the morning of Valentine’s Day, wake up before your valentine and make a breakfast with all his/her favorite fixings. If you are making pancakes, make then heart shaped (practice this before the big day) and add a drop or two of red food coloring in the pancake batter.
Candle Light Dinner At Home
This is similar to the morning idea in the fact that you will be cooking. Make your valentine’s favorite dinner and serve it to him or her by candlelight. (Even if this means that you wait to eat until the munchkins have gone to bed. It can be difficult to prepare a large meal after a long day but you both have to eat, right?
Valentine’s Day gifts do not have to ruin your budget in order for them to be meaningful. These are just a few ways in which you can let that special someone know just how special he/she is to you.
Here’s to a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Anniversaries and celebrations loom larger for women than for men. They represent the importance of the bonds they have formed with others and failing to honor these days is a like a failure to honor the relationship.
Men love to impress the women in their life with extravagant gifts. But for the female of the species, it is not the largess which counts but the fact that you have remembered; it’s not about generosity, it is about thoughtfulness. Proper planning is key. The last minute dash to the nearest shop to buy a cheap bouquet when you have obviously forgotten the anniversary is essentially making up for a crime you have already committed – failing to appreciate the importance of her place in your life. Yet ordering even the smallest posy or flowering plant in advance, accompanied by a suitably worded note, a well-chosen card and another small gift thoughtfully selected goes a long way in being in her good graces. You can select from the range of gifts that florists make available at this time and throughout the year – a stuffed toy, a selection of chocolates, or a beautiful and lasting setting for your floral gift (such as a glass vase).
The point is to prove you have put some consideration into the gift, that you know your woman well and that you have thought about what she likes. She may have dropped a hint about what she would like. Think back to conversations you have had with her over the past few weeks. Or select something which relates to her hobbies and interests. Chocolates and wine are always a favorite, especially if you plan to accompany your gift by a night out with an après-soirée or perhaps to have an evening in where you do all the cooking and cleaning up for once. Do not forget the option of tickets to a show.
Any florist will also tell you that flowers have a language all of their own from the single rose with its beautifully understated and elegant declaration of true love to the unbridled passion of a dozen roses, from the sweet simplicity of a posy to the extravagance of a bouquet. The orchid speaks of deep desire while the flowering plant appeals to women who appreciate a gesture but love a gift which lasts. Point is you know your woman. Pick what you know will win her heart.
Finally, you should think about the timing of your gift. Too late in the day and it will seem like you forgot or only remembered at the last minute. Too soon and it will lost in the business of getting to work or getting kids off to school. A mid morning delivery to the home or to your partner’s office is the perfect solution. Now is the time to order before the last minute rush.
So take out your credit card browse over to the gifts section and pick some thing appropriate …your reward is already on its way.
The first thing you should do when embarking on a mission to choose a Valentine’s day gift for her, is to relax. This should be seen as a pleasurable experience with nothing on your mind except the warm fuzzy feelings you get when you think of how much you want to make her feel loved on this day.
To do this without the stress involved, it helps to go about it like any other action that you want to go well. You plan it out.
The first thing you’ll want to do is consider her likes and dislikes. There is nothing romantic about buying something that she doesn’t like. In fact, if she loves red roses and you bring her home yellow daisies, it won’t go over well. Not to say that she won’t (or shouldn’t) appreciate you taking the time to buy her flowers, but the idea is to make her feel special and you’ll do that by remembering what her favorite flower is.
One of the best things you can do for valentine’s day is instead of rushing out and grabbing a gift on the way home from work, plan out an actual day for her.
Now, that doesn’t mean you have to plan a day trip out of town or do anything too extreme, but make it a day that’s all about her and showing how much you appreciate her and her love.
This is where the planning part comes into play. If you plan it out well ahead of time, giving her a full valentine’s Day that’s all about her can be pretty stress-free but mean the world to her.
The only thing about planning a full day for her is that she will probably need to be in on it – at least part of it to know she has to be available for a full day/evening.
As an example, you could have her Valentine’s Day car waiting with her favorite breakfast on the table when she awakes. A trip to the spa and a light lunch could follow. What about a drive down to the beach and a walk on the boardwalk. Yes, it might be chilly, but it’s romantic to snuggle and walk. If you do not have the budget for an evening dinner out, then maybe plan to watch two of her favorite chick flicks and share a bottle of her favorite wine?
You know her best, but you get the point. Really think about her, what she likes, and plan a full day around her and show her that you really were thinking of her today.
Without question, one of the best days of a woman’s life is when she is proposed to by the man she loves. For the man, it’s often a stressful thing to think about to be sure he goes about it the right way and makes everything perfect for her and memorable.
Valentine’s day is a romantic time to ask the love of your life to marry you, and here’s a few ways to make it even more special:
1. The Getaway. If you’re girlfriend loves spontaneity and taking trips, then proposing during a weekend getaway is a sure bet, especially if Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday. The great part about this is that you can make it all about a Valentine’s day gift and not bring up a suspicions of a possible proposal. If it’s possible in your relationship, don’t tell her until the last minute, that day even.
However, you will have to have quite a few things already planned (tickets, hotel, possibly bags packed). If you have trouble with these sorts of things, try enlisting a trusted friend of hers to help you plan it out.
2. The Family Surprise. Why not propose in front of her whole family. This one depends on if your girlfriend is the traditional type and also how well you and her get along with her side of the family. You will likely need at least one family members in on this with you to help you gather a family reunion (party, dinner, etc.) and invite her to come on a specific date.
Not everyone has to know, but it will probably work out better if they do. This way, you can designate a specific time that you will propose so that everyone knows to be in the room. You might want to even have a signal like a particular song, or have someone say something that is the code.
This one is great for those who would like to get it on film without ruining the element of surprise, since it wouldn’t be odd for cameras to be rolling at a family reunion.
3. Steal From The Movies. But not just any movie. The majority of women have at least one chick flick that turns on the water works because of a romantic proposal somewhere in the film. So, what you could do is re-enact that scene. If you’re unsure of what that movie is, then set it up first by finding out the sneaky way. Tell her that you want to do a chick flick marathon with her for Valentine’s day and that you want to buy her a few of her favorites.
Make sure you get a list of 5 or 6 or more to choose from so you can be sure to get one with a proposal in it. Also, be sure to work this in with ample time to set up the proposal on Valentine’s day.
