I can’t remember who said it but I beg to differ. Money doesn’t talk, it doesn’t even whimper.
It may be just one day out of the year but if you’re single it has that horrible habit of making you feel like a social outcast, destined to die alone. If you’re one of the lucky ones who’ve found their other half, then fair play to you, congrats. Here are some of my top money saving present ideas for Valentine’s Day. Do with them what you will.
- A home made card is a true gift from the heart and it’s much better than all those generic, off-the-shelf numbers from Clinton’s.
- How about a foot massage? Buy the woman in your life a big plastic tub, some Radox bubble bath, run the tap and let the bubbles flow. Your lady will be putty in your hands with the offer of a “foot spa” with your clever money saving gift.
- Take her with you to a tall building, doesn’t really matter where, as long as it’s tall so you can admire the view together. If it’s a sunny day, even better - you’ll get extra brownie points. This option is cheaper than cheap, it’s free in fact. So take advantage!
- Buy in lots of Cava. She’ll never know the difference between that and the real stuff. In all honesty, who can. The bubbles may not last as long but what’s that got to do with anything.
- Make an album of her favourite love songs. All this costs is the price of a CD. Go for the classic love songs ala Tony Bennet or Chris De Burge - works a treat.
Please note - the details contained above are not to be taken literally. Well, maybe the Cava one. No one can really tell the difference, can they?
Happy Valentine’s Day x
