Fun and Inexpensive Valentine's Day Ideas

Ranked #19,500 in Holidays & Celebrations, #360,386 overall

Who said that romantic can't be fun?

Laughing with the one you love releases all those feel-good endorphins that can get the amorous juices flowing. These gift ideas are cute, romantic and most of all, playful.

These gift ideas are, of course, good all year round - not just on Valentine's Day.

So enjoy your Valentine's Day together, have a little fun, smile more, and don't stress out over expensive ridiculous gifts.

Personalized T-shirts

This seems like a gift a man would buy. But wait - this is no ordinary t-shirt. Personalize it just for you and her.

Even though you are giving the shirt to her, it is more playful if you have one as well to match. Choose a cute saying like 'Together forever' with each word in half a heart on each t-shirt. How about 'My Better Half' with an arrow pointing towards the shirt worn by the other person?

You can screen print pictures on the shirts as well. Plan this one in advance as it takes some time to get a shirt printed even if you do it locally.

I heart you! T-Shirt

This is a great Valentine's Gift for you to wear on that special day. Or give it to your boyfriend to wear for you.

Message in a Bottle

Instead of the usual and traditional Valentine's Day card, leave her a series of romantic notes all over the house and even in her car. Present them in beautiful and colorful glass bottles.

Each message can represent a moment from your life together. Once she has found them all, bind them together in a scrapbook that tells the story of your love. Send her your most heartfelt words in a unique way that will capture her heart.

Dress it up with sand and tiny seashells

Coupon Books

Don't get her groceries, but discounts on romantic services that you can provide for her. This does take thought and proves that you have a creative side.

You can purchase blank books from a party or stationery store. Some suggestions: Free foot massage, bubble bath, romantic picnic dinner, romantic serenade and some more naughty suggestions that can only be shared between the two of you. You get the picture.

In some stores you might be tempted to buy the coupon books that have the coupons already created ~ I assure you, it's much more fun to create your own and come up with your own ideas.

If you're not sure what to write, grab a premade set.

Romantic Games

How about strip poker? Create your own strip poker cards and offer to play with her sometime. Don't forget Twister. It's an oldie but goodie. Get close and have some fun. You can even pick up a set of Relationship Dice this time of year. It's all in good fun :)

Roll the dice and have some fun!

Romantic Gift Set

Avoid the prepackaged pink and frilly ones you find in stores. It is much better to put theses together yourself and it's so much more appreciated.

Find an inexpensive but tasteful basket and fill it with some romantic items. You can even combine some of the gifts above.

For instance, try a strip poker deck with a bottle of champagne and some sweet smelling candles. Set the mood for your game. With that coupon book, include a sexy mask, candles, an inflatable bath headrest and even a mix tape of your (and hers) favorite romantic song

If you're having a hard time putting a basket together, go premade.

    I've actually put together a coupon book, when I was married, for the hubby. He loved the idea and it was not expensive, really.

    great items here, I've got a Valentines Day lens too with practical items, no reason to spend a bundle of money when your sweetheart mainly wants to see the guy put some thought into the gift and the nightly plans.
