Inexpensive Valentine's Day Gifts and Surprises
Make a Photo Collage To Music – A few years ago, I gathered pictures of my husband and myself from the time we started dating to our most recent photos and created a slideshow to some of our favorite songs.
Hide Something In His/Her Car – Leave a note, a favorite treat or a gift. I like to drive to his work and leave it in his car because that is when he is least expecting it.
Lipstick On The Mirror – Does your spouse get up before you? Surprise him with a bright red lipstick message on the bathroom mirror. Be sure to put lots of lipstick kisses all over the mirror too!
A Year Of Date Nights – I did this for my husband and he loved it. We had a theme for each month's date and it was so fun to have it already planned. If you want to take it a step further, include gift cards or cash with each month, so that the dates are already paid for. Here are some great printables from Clean & Scentsible for a year's worth of date nights.
Write A Love Letter – A real, heartfelt, handwritten love letter is worth more than money and better yet, doesn't cost anything.
