Valentines day is celebrated all over the world by people who like to show their feelings of love by sending romantic messages with gifts of love poems, flowers, chocolates and an assortment of other gifts. People like to lavish their loved-ones with romantic evenings spent in restaurants, hotels or at home with special food, candles and champagne.
As the sentiment of Valentines day is showing how much you love someone (or your interest in them romantically) there is no need to spend £100's on gifts and, if planned well, you can have an extremely romantic Valentines day without overspending. Here are some ideas of my own to help you plan. I hope you find them useful, and please comment if you have any ideas you would like to share!
Katie's top tips for an inventive, romantic, cost-effective Valentines day:
- Find photographs of the two of you throughout your relationship. Put them together into a special album and give this as a gift. You can make a beautiful and smart photo-book here at tesco.com. They cost from £5.
- If you are poetic, then write the one you love a poem and incorporate it into your Valentines day ecard, print it onto some pretty paper and give it as a gift or hide it somewhere that your loved-one will find it. If you're not poetic, take a look here for some ideas for romantic poems.
- Plan a special Valentines meal. Make sure to include your guest's favourite food, or if you want to try something different take a browse through BBC food's ideas for Valentines day menu's here.
- Do one small thing on Valentines day that is unexpected. Send flowers, plan a ad-hoc dinner, meet your loved-one after work and escort them home, buy a bottle of something sparkling to have with dinner (you can get your hands on some great Prosecco's which are much cheaper than champagne and taste fantastic - I actually prefer it to champagne)
- Dress up your dinner table to look romantic, buy a couple of roses to scatter the petals on the table cloth, rose scented pot-pouri and candles will look fantastic and fairly low cost
- Get your kids involved! Here are some great tips on how to get your kids involved with this celebration - they can make cards and gift boxes as well as table decorations!
