The day to celebrate love, romance, and that special someone in your life is fast approaching, and if you’re trying to do something special without breaking the bank, you’re in luck. Celebrating Valentine’s Day should be about creating a meaningful and memorable experience for the one you love. This does not necessarily mean spending money—there are plenty of ways to surprise and delight without blowing the budget. Read on to uncover three free ways to make Valentine’s Day special this year.
1) Share an experience together.
Instead of getting hung up on a physical gift for your partner, why not plan to do something special together? A shared experience is a memorable gift that can often be much more meaningful than a dozen roses.
Take some time to search local listings and find out what’s going on in your area during Valentine’s week. Maybe enjoy a seasonal activity together, whether that’s skating or snowshoeing if weather permits, or hiking and bringing a picnic to a beautiful destination you’ve never seen before. Take a look for special movie screenings, or exhibits at nearby galleries and museums that might pique your partner’s interest.
2) Be thoughtful.
If you want to give more of a traditional gift, a little thought goes a long way in giving something that is unique, memorable, and also affordable. Take the time to make your partner something that shows you’re thinking of them and shows how much they mean to you.
Make a photo album of your favorite photos from the first year of your relationship, or from an activity or event you just experienced together. Is there a special meal your partner loves, or something they’ve been wanting to try? Pick up the ingredients and enjoy a meal together at home. If your special someone is a music buff, create a personalized playlist of songs that make you think of them.
3) Give a voucher.
Treat your love to a little pampering this Valentine’s Day. Create your own homemade ‘coupons’ that your loved one can redeem whenever they choose. Include a variety of special treats, like maybe a night off from household duties or childcare, a voucher for a romantic meal at home, a coupon for a massage, and so on.
