Six Inexpensive and Creative Ideas For Valentines Day

Six Inexpensive and Creative Ideas For Valentines Day

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, a day that each year puts fear into the hearts of men. Every year, you promise yourself that next year; you are going to do something different. If you still do not have any creative ideas for a special surprise, do not panic. Here are some Valentine's Day gift ideas (many inexpensive) that are sure to please your love on that particular day.

Balloon Surprise

This one will require handwritten notes to your Valentine. Phrases like "I love you", "Thanks for being you", or "You mean more to me than anything" are useful as well as sayings that have special meaning only to the two of you. You can write short memories of fun things you did together, a memorable vacation or a special moment you shared, like a child's birth. Once you get the notes written, cut them into small sections. Make sure each letter is short enough to be folded and placed in a balloon. You can purchase a small helium tank and balloons at most party stores. Take a balloon, insert a note into it, and then blow it up. When your Valentine comes home, have her pop each balloon to read your message of love.

Recreate Your First Date

Unless it was just a total disaster, your first date probably holds a lot of sentimental value for both you and your loved one. What better Valentine's Day surprise could there be than to recreate the first date, a time when you first fell in love? Go to the same restaurant, rent the first movie you watched together, take her dancing to the same bar - whatever you did on that first date, make it happen again. Even if it was a disaster, you could recreate it, making it better the second time.

Getaway Trip

This one will require more money and a little preparation but is sure to be great fun for both of you. Plan a secret weekend vacation. If you have kids, arrange for babysitters without letting your love know about it. Book the airline tickets, make the hotel reservations and when Friday rolls around, surprise her by having her bags packed, ready to go. Las Vegas is a great getaway destination. You can even renew your vows in a fun setting, like a wedding chapel that has an Elvis impersonator do the ceremony. If you cannot afford a big trip, book a weekend at bed and breakfast within driving distance. A getaway involving just the two of you will be fun no matter where you go.

Special Songs

Here is an inexpensive way to show her that you remember those memorable love songs. Make a compact disc of songs that have unforgettable memories for you and your Valentine. You can do this on your computer using iTunes or Windows Media Player. If you do not have the songs on a compact disc already, you can even download them from places like Amazon, Buy.com, or iTunes for less than a dollar each. Each time she hears this CD, she will think of you!

Romance Scavenger Hunt

Buy small presents like a bag of candy kisses, a bottle of her favourite perfume, or a single rose. Then create a few gifts of your own such as a handwritten poem, a compact disc of unforgettable songs, or a handmade Valentine's Day card. Write clues attached to each present, telling her where the next gift can be found. Make the last present something that will last a while, like a picnic dinner, a bottle of champagne hidden close to the fireplace, or lingerie in the bedroom.

Chocolate Fun

If you both love chocolate, this can be an entertaining and sexy idea. Make a batch of chocolate pudding and feed it to each other sitting by the fireplace. You may want to place a blanket or something on the floor if it turns into a playful food fight. To spice it up, remove one article of clothing each time you feed your loved one and ask to do the same. It can even lead to a romantic shower for two, so have candles ready in the bathroom.
