6 Secrets to the Perfect Valentine’s Day, Without Breaking the Bank

 

                      


Showing your significant other you care doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavor. In fact, some of the most romantic gestures don’t involve any money at all. Whether you’re worried about breaking the bank, or just looking for a creative way to say “I love you,” check out these affordable hints for the perfect Valentine’s Day. 

1. BAKE COOKIES INSTEAD OF BUYING EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATES.

TV and movies might tell you that a heart-shaped box of chocolates is an essential gift. But high-quality truffles can be extremely expensive, and lots of the cheap Valentine’s Day chocolate options don’t taste so great. Forego the chocolates altogether and bake some homemade cookies or desserts. Not only are homemade cookies cheap and delicious, but they’ll show you really put effort into prepping for Valentine’s Day. And if you really want stick to the classic heart motif, just buy some heart-shaped cookie cutters. 

2. MAKE CREATIVE VERSIONS OF EVERYDAY FOODS.

Fun fact: Almost any food can be shaped into a heart. To bake a batch of heart-shaped cupcakes, just place a marble in the top of each cup of your cupcake pan between the tin and the paper liner. For a romantic breakfast in bed, twist slices of bacon into hearts before you toss them on the frying pan, and cut a heart into a slice of bread to make a heart-shaped “egg in a basket.”


3. COOK DINNER INSTEAD OF GOING OUT.

In the same vein as baking heart-shaped cupcakes, a homemade dinner is a romantic way to show you care. Grab a pack of tea light candles and make the perfect playlist to finish the transformation from home to romantic restaurant. 

4. LOOK FOR RESTAURANT DISCOUNTS ONLINE. 

Before you make a dinner reservation, look for a good deal online: Plenty of upscale restaurants offer coupons and discounted gift cards that can be purchased online.

5. PLAN YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY TOGETHER. 

A lot of the pressure people feel about planning their Valentine’s Day comes from being unsure of their significant other’s expectations. But making plans together can be just as romantic as planning a surprise—plus, it’ll allow you and your significant other to come up with a romantic outing that fits your budget and your interests. 


6. 

ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS. 

Going for a hike or a sunset walk in your local park is a blissfully peaceful (and blissfully cheap) Valentine’s option that’ll let you avoid over-packed restaurants and spend some quality time with your significant other. America has nearly dozens of National Parks, many of which have pre-planned Valentine’s Day activities you can sign up for; pair with a picnic if the weather is warm enough.
