How Guy's Can Impress Their Valentine on a Budget

Rebecca Furtado
Can you do Valentine's Day on a budget? The answer is definitely yes. For you men out there effort means more than price. Try your hand at putting together a Valentine's Day basket for your girl. Visit a store like Bath and Body Work and look at their clearance table. They will have high quality wonderful smelling goodies for half price.

Keep the color scheme in the pink and red zone. Spring is coming so visit your local garden store or garden department of your favorite discount store. Buy a nice large flower pot and fill it white and red tissue. Place the bath products you brought in the pot and tie a red ribbon around it. If you don't want to use a flower pot try an old fashioned watering can. If you have a little money left over buy here an inexpensive heart pendant and has it draped over the end of the watering can so it looks like it is pouring out.

If you don't have money for an expensive dinner out, try making her an Italian dinner at home. Stouffers makes great lasagna in meat and vegetarian form. Visit the dollar store to buy candles, red plates, and even romantic class ware. Don't forget a chocolate cake or even cup cakes for desert. If you are not the dancing in public sort find some romantic jazz and be bold enough to cut a rug in your living room. Your girl will think you are a romantic genius.

If you are at the intimate part of your relationship give your girl a spa night. Use some scent bath salts and romantic candle light in the bathroom to create a relaxing bath for your girl. Follow up the good clean fun with some scent massage oil and the rest of the night should turn out nicely for both of you. Top of the whole occasion; by serving her breakfast in bed the following morning. Your girl will reward you for months for just one night of indulging her.

If you are not at an intense romantic level in your relationship yet, it is still ok to rent a romantic movie and order Chinese. Just make the evening more special by adding some candle light and surprising her with at least a card and a box of Chocolates. If you are planning on taking your relationship to the next level Valentine's Day is the perfect time to give jewelry or lingerie and send the message that you want to deepen your romance. If you are still at the casual stage don't feel pressured to be more romantically intense then you feel, but let your girl know is a special way you enjoy her company.
