Simple and Low Cost Tips for a Valentines Celebration for Two

RE: Simple and Low Cost Tips for a Valentines Celebration for Two Post By Billie (Guest Post) (02/07/2006) Last year money was an issue for me. So, I got some silk flower petals from the dollar store laid a path through my house. I found every candle in my house that I was saving for a big occasion and lit them all. I had a bottle of wine that I bought earlier (i usually keep at least one bottle in my house), I put the bottle on ice. I cooked a romantic dinner and sent my daughter to a friends house for the night. My husband was amazed. But he amazed me as well. He went and bought me a basket and filled it with cute valentine socks, chocolates, a couple roses, and a few of my favorite things. I think it was just perfect. Money doesn't have to be an issue. This year things have been rough for us but Valentines will still be special. I am writing apoem for my husband and framing it with our picture and maybe cooking that special dinner. Just get creative. RE: Simple and Low Cost Tips for a Valentines Celebration for Two Post By kelly (Guest Post) (01/16/2005) hubby and I were on a very tight budget one year and we set a gift limit of $5 each. He burned me a cd to have in my car. I framed him a picture of our kitten. For dinner we spent another $5 on 4 slices of roast beef, a small package of cheese, crackers, and we put this with a bottle of wine we'd already purchased. On a separate occasion I got out my relaxing "ocean sounds" tape, turned down the lights, and spread a blanket on the living room carpet. A few candles later and we had our own ocean beach picnic. I think the budget limit was what did it for us was the extreme dollar limit. It forced us to be romantically creative!
