Here are a few budget friendly Valentine's Day gift ideas for your wife that along with a little attention will be sure to impress.
Props for a Beauty Rest
Sometimes showing your wife how much you care about her is as easy as giving her the things she needs and loves to pamper herself with. The best way to rejuvenate after a long day is with a quick beauty rest, so put together a few items to help your wife get the most out of her naps. Perfect for the tight budget are soothing eye masks(Aqua Eye Mask, $7, www.thebodyshop-usa.com) and aromatherapy candles to calm and soothe nerves (Lavender scented aromatherapy candles, $10, www.bathandbodyworks.com).
A Whiff of Perfume
When you're on a budget it is not always possible to buy that bottle of perfume that your wife loves so much. Instead of trying to bring home a full size bottle of scent, look for smaller travel size options that also come in roll on or in solid pencils. These smaller sizes give her the chance to carry her favorite scent with her where ever she goes or the ability to try on a couple new scents that she otherwise would not buy for herself in the full size. New from Sonia Kashuk is the Solid Perfume Palette that allows you to personalize a scent (Sonia Kashuk Solid Perfume Palette, $15, www.target.com).
At Home Spa Treatment
Following with the theme of getting pampered, one of the most relaxing treatments around is a nice foot bath or any foot treatments. Receiving relaxing spa treatments in the comfort of your home has gotten easier with new products being made available daily. Some of the best at home products, and making the perfect Valentine's Day present for your wife is the line of HoMedics pedicure systems. Try the complete at home pedi set to give her the best at home spa experience possible (HoMedics Style Spa Deluxe Professional Manicure and Pedicure System, $19, www.walmart.com).
A Little Arm Candy
There are very few wives that will say no to a new purse, especially one that they don't have to explain. When you are on a budget though, there might not be enough to buy justify the high cost of a new purse so instead opt for a smaller and less expensive wristlet or wallet. New York and Company has very trendy options that fit every budget (Downtown Signature Wristlet, $15, www nyandcompany.com).
Recycled Jewelry Options
Buying new jewelry is not always an option cost wise, and there are some who do not want to purchase new jewelry because it isn't always ecologically responsible. This year surprise your wife with a new piece of jewelry that isn't so new after all. Companies like Green Karat will take previously owned gold jewelry and melt it down to create a whole new piece of jewelry. The design can be one of your own or the company can provide design ideas for you. A program like Green Karat begins at $250 which is very reasonable for custom jewelry (www.greenkarat.com).
