Saving On Valentines Day Gifts
Valentine’s Day is all about love, right? Not anymore is seems. Valentine’s Day is also a great way for businesses to make money. If you are still paying off your bills from the December holidays, then why not be frugal this year?

Here are some ideas to spend frugally on Valentine’s Day, and still have a great time.

1. Make your own card – Why not use the graphics on the Internet?
♥ Go to http://www.google.com
♥ Then click “Images” in the upper left
♥ To save you favorite image, right-click, and “Save Image As”.
♥ Save the image to a place you remember on your computer.
♥ Print it out and hand write a card, or
♥ Open the image in Microsoft Word and make your card.
2. Surprise your partner with breakfast in bed – Need I say more? What a treat!
3. Make your partner a coupon book – Back massages, foot massages, or “Your assistant for a day”, are all good ideas.
4. Make dinner for your partner or friend – You can make a great pasta meal for less than $10. Why spend a lot of money at an expensive restaurant. Make sure you have a lit candle to help the mood.
5. Foot soak – This is such a relaxing experience. Surprise your partner with some relaxing music, a lit candle, and dim the lights.

* ♥ Have a large bowl, footbath, or pot (lobster pot works great) filled with hot water.
* ♥ Mix in some moisturizing oils or Epsom Salts.
* ♥ Add a few flower petals if you wish.
* ♥ Leave some hot water simmering on the stove, and be ready to warm the water – the hotter your partner can stand, the better.
* ♥ Afterwards, rinse their feet, dry and moisturize.
o These foot soaks can cost up to $50 at a spa. These are my tips, Google “homemade foot soaks” for more ideas.

These are some ideas that do not cost too much, and are so meaningful. ♥ Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
