Oooooooooooo I hear you saying, “How can Valentine’s Day be fun or romantic if I have to stick to a budget?” However, I am telling you “Valentine’s Day does not have to break the bank”.
My 7 tips will help you have a low cost or no cost romantic Valentine’s Day.
1. Mood Music. Visit http://www.playlist.com/ and create your own playlist of all your favorite songs. This is a no cost and legal way to download your favorite music. You can play the music from your computer. FREE
2. Candles. Visit your local dollar type store and purchase tapers, votives and pillars in various colors. You will also be able to find heart shaped confetti to decorate around the base of the candles. Candles will compliment the mood music. Do not waste money on expensive candles because they will be gone by morning. Try to buy unscented you do not want the scent to clash with your perfume. $5.00
3. Picnic. Think about some of your favorite foods. If the climate is right, pack a picnic basket with all your favorite foods and head outdoors. If the weather keeps you indoors spread out your blanket on the floor and have your picnic indoors or on your bed. Wear something sexy so you are dessert. Get out your good china, silver, and crystal. Use what food is in the cupboard or shop for groceries on a budget.
4. Movies. Go to your video store or library and pick up a couple of your favorite date night movies. Watch these snuggled up on the bed or on the sofa after you have devoured your picnic. FREE – $5.00
5. Sexy little something. There is no need to buy something new; you know that stuff never stays on very long. Look in your closet or dresser and pick out something you have not worn in a while. Dab on your favorite perfume. Put on your makeup and do not forget to wear the jewelry he has bought you. FREE
6. Bubbly. Don’t forget the bubbly or your favorite beverage. Get out your wedding toasting flutes or your pretty stemware. Make your picnic special by using the “good” stuff. $15.00 or what fits your budget. If you don’t want alcohol have your favorite nonalcoholic beverage in wine glasses or champagne flutes.
7. Bubble Bath. Again visit your dollar type store. This is not the time to splurge on expensive bubble bath because you will not probably be in the tub long enough to enjoy it. Splurge and use the entire bottle of bubbles if you want. Place the candles around the edge of the tub and grab your bubbly to sip. $1.00 for bubble bath.
Staying home and creating your own romantic hideaway can be fun and low cost. You will not need to spend hours waiting for a table at your favorite restaurant. You can parade around in as skimpy of an outfit as you want. You can take your time enjoying the evening and each other wherever you want. When you use my seven tips, you will have a very low cost yet romantic Valentine’s Day.
Don’t forget to turn off the cell phones, lock the doors, pull the drapes closed, and enjoy your Valentine’s Day.
