It is that time of the year again, where lovers all over the world exchange gifts and pleasantries due to an age long tradition that came about as a result of the great one Augustus Valentine. Every year, billions of dollars are spent on gifts to celebrate valentine’s day. A lot of websites and blogs post new and creative valentine day ideas and other expenditures. In case you are in-between jobs, or living on a budget and still have someone who loves you then here is how to celebrate valentine’s day without breaking your bank account which is already in the red.
1. Don't Eat out-

Okay, this is hard but you have to understand that all the restaurants are going to be choked up any way and waiters would be on their worst behaviours, you might have to wait a while to get a seat in the cheapest of restaurants, this is assuming you have not made a reservation because you are on a budget. A cheaper valentine day idea is to Instead eat in, you and your lover should get a valentine recipe off the internet and get the ones with cheap ingredients and make the meal together, just the two of you. It might not taste good , it might actually suck but you would learn that the beauty of valentine is doing things together.



2.Go for a valentine program-
A good valentine idea is to go for an admit all program or party.There are lots of cheap valentine programs, carnivals and seminars organised by churches,media outlets, schools and organisation. Most programs involve discussions, questions and relationship issues all centered on strengthening and testing your relationship. It might even be a valentine party and you can just tag along ,hoping the host would supply everything including gifts.

3.Send your messages on social media.

Here your knowledge of some graphic design would come in handy for this valentine day idea. A lady once said the best present i received from my partner was a hand drawn lettering which read " Lola my beautiful valentine". You can also send free e-valentine cards , send a about 24, that is one every hour. Get on the internet connection somewhere and send these e cards Some sites have the option of sending it to media enabled phones. You can also write hand written notes, if you are not a poet, or writer, you can hop on the internet or like a brother once said, " copy lyrics of your favorite love song.


4. Pair up.



If you happen to have friends who are also in on celebrating the valentine’s day, you can simply pair up and go for combo packages of pizzas, ice-cream .rice bowls and chicken soups. Chinese restaurants have all these packages the most, and you can never go wrong with Chinese food until you puke . You have to be close friends for this valentine day idea to fly and everybody on the team has to have mutual respect and care for each other, you don’t want a tensed up valentine dinner .

5.Buy cheap classy gifts.
Gifts for ladies like accessories, hair ornaments, clips, nail fillers, or very new looking second hand novels (if your partner likes reading) ,simple pastries, creams etc don’t cost a fortune. If you know where to buy cheap but classy ones. A guy might need the assistance of a female in getting these really good classy gifts .Gift for guys like boxers/briefs, underwear, simple and plain office shirts, cuff links are also very cheap especially if you know where to look to get cheap and classy ones.

6. Postpone valentine.
If the above list doesn't sound like what you can handle then simply postpone valentine. Let something come up , fix appointments, meetings, trip or work throughout the day, call to say hello in the morning and then drown yourself in your duties, when others leave work/school early , offer to help them with their jobs and stay there late. Then when your pockets are eating cheese cake then you can have your own valentine on say the 17th of June, if you still have someone who loves you by then. You can never go wrong with these cheap valentine day ideas
