Extra tips to plan a budget-friendly Valentine's Day
Gifts are just one part of it! Now that you have a few ideas, let’s explore how to make the most out of Valentine’s Day on a budget—because making someone feel extra special doesn’t have to be extra expensive.
- Write your partner a handwritten letter. Something free that means so, so much.
- Pack a picnic. Prepare something at home or pick up food from your favorite spot, then have a romantic picnic in the park (or even your own backyard)!
- Make them breakfast in bed. You might think this is overdone…but we don’t think it’s done enough! Enjoying coffee without having to get up and make it? There’s no luxury like it.
- Make a photo album. Print out some of your favorite photos of the two of you over the years (or put together a digital album!) and reminisce on your favorite memories.
- Have a movie marathon. Optional additions: snacks, candles, a blanket fort.
- Explore somewhere new. Break out of your usual routine and take a scenic drive somewhere nearby.
- Plan a game night. Those dusty board games in the closet might be more fun than you realize!
- Create a bucket list. Whether it’s a few months or years in the future, take some time to list the things you’d love to do together soon.
- Have a spa day at home. Face masks, massages, bubble baths (or all of the above).
- Bake or cook together. It can be even more fun than going out sometimes!
- Go stargazing. Grab a blanket and snacks, and head out to your favorite nearby park.
Happy Valentine’s Day, lovebirds! Remember: though it’s easy to fall into this headspace, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be expensive to be special. With a little creativity and effort, you can plan an amazing date on any budget that your partner will love.
