1. Give the gift of time. Make a special effort to spend extra time with the person you love.
2. Make something. Organize your wife’s recipes into a folder or binder. Take a photo your wife or husband will love and matte it and put it in a frame for them to hang on the wall.
3. Take over your spouse’s chores for a day-or longer. Give your spouse a “day off” from the cooking, cleaning, or other regular chores. Or better yet, do them for a week.
4. Go out for a Valentine’s Day lunch. Lunch is almost always cheaper, so you can probably afford to go somewhere even nicer than you would have taken him or her for dinner for the same amount of money.
5. Go for a walk. Take your husband or wife for a romantic walk somewhere, and bring a bottle of wine.
6. Plan a picnic. Instead of going out to eat, pack a picnic lunch with some goodies and head out in the afternoon, skipping the dinner out all together.
7. Go out for drinks and appetizers. Cut back on the full course dinner expense.
8. Eat in. Another way to skip going out to dinner is to cook a gourmet meal at home.
9. Give coupons. Not grocery store coupons, of course! Give coupons for a massage, back rub, or other romantic ideas.
10. Breakfast in bed. Make your valentine a full course breakfast at home and serve it to them in bed.
11. Make your own card. Spend some time making a nice card, with a personal note written in it.
12. Bake something. Bake your partner their favorite dessert or treat.
13. Write a poem. Write the love of your life a poem, describing how much they mean to you and why you love them.
14. Take a day trip. Gas is fairly cheap, and if you have a romantic destination within driving distance of your house, such as a beach, the mountains, etc., you can make a day of it.
