So Valentine's day is fast approaching and we are still in a recession. So what do you do for your perfect someone without breaking the bank? Here are a few ideas:
Hotels can be expensive especially the nicer ones. So if you want the hotel feel without spending the money just spruce up your own room. Fluff the pillows add some candles and flower petals and turn on some music. But if you are set on going to a hotel check out Internet deals and don't forget Hotwire or Priceline (name your own price). You can find some great hotels for a decent price.
Dinner doesn't have to be at a restaurant to be enjoyable. Pick out a restaurant or dish that you like and make it at home. It will be half the price. Turn off the lights and have a candle lit dinner. If things are going well at least you don't have to stop the fun to drive home. If you can't cook or don't want to look for restaurants that have prix fixe menus for valentines you can get a three course meal for two plus wine for a great price.
Gifts don't have to be something you buy. You could have a bubble bath all set up or get some massage oils and give a massage and once you're done make sure he returns the favor for all you hard work. You can also write a poem or something from the heart.
If you are someone who hates valentine's day try to find a cheap get away somewhere out of the states. Or just avoid the city or heavy populated areas. You could also get with a group of friends and spend the day together.
Whether you enjoy Valentine's day or not I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable day.
