Valentine’s Day gift ideas that don’t break the bank

February the 14th is Saint Valentine's Day or simply Valentine's Day.

It is a day where we show our appreciation to our nearest and nearest our significant others, our loved ones, our lovers ….the list goes on!

The holiday is named after two Christian martyrs named Valentine.  This day became associated with love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love became widespread.

It is a day where we can show our love, lust and affection for each other; sending Valentine's cards and other treats such as chocolates, it also gives us an opportunity to be soppy and get away with it.

The exciting aspect about this day is that the cards and gifts are often posted anonymously, which leaves a little to the imagination…

A lot of men and women wonder: “How can I impress my lover on this special day but without breaking the bank…” And it is a fair question, since this day is right after Christmas and our credit cards have already taken a big hit buying presents for close ones.

Here is a list of things you may want to consider when on a budget but still want to make a memorable impression:

1. Love letters.
These can be a great way to show that special someone how you feel for them.  
Write all the nice things down that you think someone close to you would like to hear and seal it with a kiss.   Remember to use good quality pen and paper as well as a nice envelope.

2. Learn how to give a nice and simple massage. There are tones of books on this in the library and also a lot of free material on the web. Grab some nice fragrant massage oil and bingo.

3. Make a quick webpage for your loved one.
I would reserve this for someone you already know quiet well. Make sure to post some nice photos of them and perhaps of yourself.  If you are good at writing poems, here is your chance to post one up or if you are not then write something sweet along the lines of:

“Hi xxx, just wanted to say I am thinking of you and wanted to let you know that you are a special man/lady and I can’t wait to see you again.”

4. A Picnic
Take your partner for a romantic picnic.  Make some nice food at home, bring a blanket, find a nice spot and enjoy each other’s company…

Remember it’s the thought that counts… usually it’s the little things that create the lasting memories.   Enjoy your Valentine’s Day however you wish to spend it.

Top 10 Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts if Money is no Object

1. A handmade Valentine's Day card - a handmade card says much more than a store bought one and will let your partner know exactly how much they mean to you.

2. Fresh flowers - the key to this is how they are delivered. You could have them delivered to his/her place of work, don her apartment with them, or a single red rose with a ring attached to it. What can be more romantic?

3. Personalised Chocolates - Personalized chocolates are a way of putting your expressions of love into a unique delivery.

4. Plane tickets to Paris - Ah the city of love. Which girl would not like this one?

5. A romantic candlelit dinner - for two. Cook his/her favorite meal, light some candles, stand the wine in ice and light background music will set the scene perfectly.

6. Jewelry - a heart locket for her with a photo of the 2 of you in side, or a piece of jewelry with a message on it. Maybe an engagement ring (hint, hint).

7. Love songs - put together a compilation of both your favorite love songs.

8. Say it with words - write him/her a poem about how much he/she means to you. If you can't write poetry, then give a book of poetry instead.

9. Lingerie - this one is for both of you to enjoy.

10. Picture perfect - have a favorite photo of the 2 of you blown up and mounted onto a nice frame
