Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. And because the economy is hard, we understand that trying to show love extravagantly might not win this year. However, we believe it is the thought that counts and this is why we want to help you celebrate Valentine’s Day on a budget.
Here are budget-friendly ways to celebrate this Valentine.
1. Love Notes
This has been available from the time men first learned to write. All it requires is a pen, paper, and all the reasons why you love your partner. What’s more, you can even send it via email so that your partner can always re-read it.
And, if you are looking for something more thoughtful and romantic, you can keep your notes in a jar where your partner can pick one from and read frequently.
2. Get Creative
There are several things you can do with just enough creative juices
- Paint/ draw a picture of your partner
- Cook or bake some food and send it to them
- Curate music playlists to share with them.
- A scrapbook of both of you and your journey of love.
3. Have A Home Date
We believe that home dates with your partner are one of the budget-friendly ways to celebrate this Valentine’s Day. From cooking meals together to spending quality time with your partner, home dates are an absolute fave. We wrote all about it here.
