Valentine's day is right around the corner and for many that means nothing but a stress filled, emotion forced, expensive nightmare of a day. It seems all to often that women expect to much and men try to little. What is it about this one day that drives even the sanest souls to emotional madness? Valentines day instills in the brain visions of movie romance and hallmark heart warming moments that are often impossible to obtain. So how do you make the most out of Valentines Day? While dollar signs can lead the way to terrific gifts that put a smile on your honey's face you don't have to spend a fortune to appeal to her fantasy. Here are some terrific alternatives for those who want to woo their lover without emptying their wallet.
A Spa Day At Home:
A day at the spa can be a sad day for your wallet. Buying your princess a full day of pampering can cost you well over a hundred dollars, but that doesn't mean you can't give her the day she deserves. Turn your place into a spa this valentines. Give her the works from head to toe. Something as simple as a body massage a foot soak and her favorite movie (even if it is a all out chick flick) can give her one of the best valentines days she's has without burning a loveless hole in your wallet.
What You Need
Massage Oils in Relaxing Scents (Lavender is Usually a Good Choice)
Bath Robe and Pajama Pants for Her
A "Chick" Flick
A Decadent Snack like Chocolate Covered Strawberry's or her favorite Ice cream.
Make Her a Meal
It's always been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but thats true for woman to. Don't let your lady fool you, when it comes to food, women love to eat just as much as men do. Making her a meal at home can not only save you a few bucks, but it also will mean a lot more to her than a meal at her favorite restaurant. Not the best in the kitchen? Stick to something simple and use a cook book.
Make Candles Together:
Nothing says romance quite like candle light so what better way to share your love with your lady than to have an arts and crafts night. Visit your local craft store and find candle making kits. They are generally inexpensive and come in a variety of colors and themes to choose one. Since it is Valentines day you may want to stick with a bit of tradition and go for wax in red hues. If you want to be really sentimental keep the candle around and burn it on your next anniversary as a simple to your passion and love.
Go On a Picnic:
If your lucky enough to live in the warmer parts of the world consider taking her on a picnic. Picnics are something that are often over looked but can be a terrific way to spend a charming day or night together. Nothing says I love you like a bottle of wine under a starry sky. Sounds like a terrific idea but what if it's snowing outside you ask? Bring the picnic inside of course! There is something romantic about picnics even if they are inside. Dining a little differently will show you put some thought into this very special day.
