With Valentine's Day almost looming large and the economic crisis refusing to go away, how do you romance a loved one on a budget?
Most Valentines seem to think of expensive jewellry, flowers and chocolates as the most appropriate gifts. However, what really counts is the feeling of being shown that you are cared for. Yes if the person you are showering gifts on can be made to feel loved without all the money being spent, it would serve you very well.
So how do you romance someone on a budget? The start up to Valentine's day should be made a week in advance. Remember its not just on that day that you love them. Its on each and every day that you care for them and should remind them of it.
Start with collecting some memorable love quotes. You can get these from the internet if you are not too keen on writing your own. Now put seven of these onto small notes and post its. Make sure that you leave them in places where the love of your life will find them.
One note a day is good enough. Then another way to show you care is to take on some of their chores. If you can get the grocceries or put out the garbage do it. It will reduce their work load and make them feel more loving towards you. I promise it works.
Save the best for the D day. You don't need to take them out to a restaurant for a really great time. Pack a picnic basket and head out to the nearest lawn or park that you like going to. Make sure that you have enough food that they might like. Plus add a little romantic surprise such as a single flower.
It will not cost too much, but it will be worth the smile that you get. Now give your personal gift. Again it may not be an expensive thing. You can make a handmade pendant or a charm bracelet and it will work just fine. Remember the object of the whole thing is to make your love feel cared for.
