The ever-so-sweet Christina over at Carolina Charm requested this post, so I have to thank her for giving me the idea! I posted some fun gift ideas during the holidays, and she asked if I would devote a post to finding perfect presents for that sweetie-whether it be a friend, a beau, or your life partner {that’s how I’m lovingly referring to Jeff these days}.
Seeing as though I think Valentine’s Day is a mushy gushy all out Hallmark holiday, I wanted to show some exciting ideas that don’t require a lot of cash to execute-I think the majority of us out there are trying to cut out unecessary spending so I am attempting to make this budget-friendly for everyone!
Breakfast in Bed
I did this for my sweetie last year and he raved for weeks about it. I picked up some heart shaped muffin tins from the dollar aisle at Target and then made his favorite poppyseed muffins for breakfast-easy peesy and I got to eat, too!
Coffee Talk
If your Valentine is a lover of caffeine, buy a coffee mug that lets you profess your love everyday! Write a sweet message on the cup in celebration of V-Day and then you can always add a little something fun inside like a Starbucks gift card or a chocolate dipped pretzel covered in pink and red candy.
Movie Date Night
Instead of the traditional movie night out, buy some of the fun popcorn holders (I’ve seen them at World Market and Target recently), and stuff them with bags of popcorn
and movie size candy and then tie a little note saying it’s time to cuddle on
the couch and you’re letting him pick the movie!

Other non-traditional dates/gifts could include a trip to a comedy club, venturing to see his favorite sports team play, a couple’s massage, an afternoon adventure to a winery, or a fun cooking class…Jeff knows I am all about “doing” rather than “receiving” on Valentine’s Day, so I’m interested to see what he comes up with this year!
On the other hand however, if he decides he just has to get me something, any of the following will make me a very happy wife đ
