Perfect, Not Pricey - 7 Inexpensive Ways to Make Your Loved One Feel Special

With Valentine’s Day done and dusted, our wallets may be feeling a little worse for wear. Unfortunately, treating your loved one to a day of flowers and extravagant dinners is expensive, and often is reserved for a few special days in the year. Luckily, there are ways to make your loved one feel valued without breaking the bank! So here are 7 inexpensive ways to make your loved one feel special all year round.

Picture This!

With Instagram and Facebook allowing us to share photographs online, it’s becoming more and more rare for us to print a physical photograph of a loving memory. This makes a physical photograph all the more special and can make an excellent gift for a loved one. Choose a few of your favorite photographs and print them off, have a look at some picture frames online and give your significant other the gift of a happy memory.

Consult your Creative Side!

If you can’t decide which photographs to pick, make a scrapbook! Include annotations describing why that memory is particularly special. The work and effort put into something like this will be sure to make your loved one feel special. Plus, the art supplies required will amount to less than a store-bought present! If your art skills aren’t up to scratch, branch out and try a Mixbook.

Lunch Date!

Dinner dates can end up being quite costly, so opt for a lunch date instead. Find somewhere with a nice view, or with a bright atmosphere. You can treat your significant other to a nice meal, and possibly buy a small gift too!

Picnic in the Park!

If your date falls on a sunny day, a picnic at a park is a viable option for making your loved one feel special on a budget. The scenery can make for some great pictures, and the fresh air can make for a relaxing and rejuvenating date. Bring along some quiet music, or simply read together. Enjoy each other’s company in the beautiful sunshine.

Day Out!

Putting the time aside to take your significant other out for a day of adventures is a surefire way of making them feel special. Take them to a museum or art gallery, or even go on a road trip to a waterfall or local mountain range. These adventures are free of charge, so you’ll only need to pay for transport and snacks. A hike would be incredible, with the journey making for some great memories.

Spend a Night in!

For those of us who are blessed with the culinary arts, a home cooked meal is a romantic way to make someone feel valued. Cook their favorite meal, or try something completely new! Getting creative in the kitchen is sure to make them smile.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!

Beautiful, aromatic, colorful; flowers are a classic way of making someone feel valued and special. Unfortunately, these colorful tokens are often expensive, so pick them yourself! Perhaps your neighbor sports an incredible array of flowers: ask them if you can pay to pick a few. This will bring a smile to your loved ones face, and save some cash too!

So there we have it, 7 inexpensive ways to make your loved one feel special. Try one for valentines day, and keep the others in mind for other points in the year. After all, your loved one deserves to feel special all year round!
