Inexpensive Ways To Pamper Your Loved One On Valentine's Day

Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for your special someone that will be cherished without breaking the bank. Whether you have been together for many years or just a few months - kids or no kids - making this day special will have rewards all year.

Make Your Own Sweets

Give your sweetie the gift of sweets. In fact, go one step further and make them yourself. Try your hand at making chocolate covered strawberries, or easyto-bake chocolate heart peanut butter cookies. Wrap them in a decorative box with a pretty red bow and a special note tucked inside for a charming and delicious gift. Create a Personalized Playlist For a gift that will hit all the right notes, how about a music mix? Take some time to think back on your relationship and pick songs that represent some of the most important and memorable moments you’ve spent together, then collect them all on a playlist.

Finish that DIY Project

If your loved one is the practical sort and there’s something around the house that you’ve been meaning to get done, like reorganizing her closet or putting in a set of shelves for him, why not finish it up in time for Valentine’s Day? Not only will the project be off your To-Do list, but you’ll have a gift that will truly be treasured. Win-win!

Redo the Bedroom

Sometimes we forget just how important it can be to have a bedroom that is a place for escape. If your bedroom needs a little TLC in the decorating department, think about giving it a lift as a Valentine’s Day surprise. Freshen up the bed with clean bedding. Did you know down pillows and comforters wash up like new? A few colorful throw pillows can also liven up your bed. Perhaps you can borrow a rug or curtains from another room or find an inexpensive option at a consignment store. You could also try changing out the light bulbs in favor of some softer LED bulbs for mood lighting.

Cook Dinner

This timeless classic wins in so many ways. If you go to the effort to find your sweetheart’s favorite foods, it not only shows you will put in the effort to make them happy but also that you pay attention to what they like.

Turn your home into a spa for the night

For the ultimate in indulgences, nothing can beat a day at the spa, but that can also cost a pretty penny. Instead of buying a pricey gift certificate, why not turn your own home into a luxurious spa? Gather together supplies for a bubble bath, a massage, a facial, a pedicure, or whatever spa treatments your loved one would enjoy.

Give a massage

Another gift that never goes out of style is the massage. It’s hard to find someone that doesn’t like a back or foot rub. Create a warm, inviting space with candles that smell nice and try out a new technique. A quick online search will give you all the instruction you need.

We hope you won’t stop at Valentine’s Day and make some of these ideas something to do on a regular basis.
