5 Valentine’s Day gifts for the weak of wallet

Before you splurge money on super frivolous Valentine’s Day gifts, take into consideration these ideas that are easy on your wallet:

1. A USB drive of all your favorite songs, pictures taken together and romantic emails.
USB drives don’t cost much — neither do files of the things both of you have that you enjoy together. Why not make it portable for each other?

2. Love Coupons
The idea is to present your boyfriend/girlfriend with a coupon book of coupons redeemable for romantic things that don’t cost much money. I don’t think I need to go into further detail.

3. Baked Goods You Baked Yourself
Store-bought baked goods is one thing. Baked goods you baked yourself — now that’s love. Especially if you’re not a baker. If you’re complaining that you don’t bake, take this into consideration: It’s cheap! Also, everyone loves baked goods. If you’re with someone who hates baked goods, you might want to rethink that relationship.

4. A Gift Basket Filled with Stuff They Like
In high school for basketball games, cheerleaders would decorate bags filled with a player’s favorite candy and sports drink. Why not do the same for your significant other in the Valentine’s Day context? It’s cheap and thoughtful.

5. A Handmade, Handwritten Valentine’s Day Card
Let’s face it. No one handwrites things anymore. This is now a novel idea!
