Valentine’s DayOn A Budget

It’s February and Valentine’s Day is almost here. Have you got your present sorted yet? Want to make them feel special but don’t have the cash to splash? If you’re looking for some gift ideas that won’t empty the wallet, then we can help. We’ve created the perfect list of Valentine’s Day gifts on a budget.

Cheap Valentine’s Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about flashy gifts with big price tags; instead it can be those thoughtful presents that make the biggest impact. We’re talking about heartfelt gestures meaningful to your loved one or something handmade that shows you have put your heart and soul into their gift.

Cheap Valentine’s Day Gifts For Him

Let’s start off with some cheap Valentine’s gifts for the gents. OK, we get it, buying a gift for that special man in your life is not easy at the best of times, but when working on a limited budget it can feel even more difficult!

Now’s the time to go DIY. Not only will it be incredibly personal, but your partner will love the thought and effort you put into making something special just for them. You can start with a ‘Reasons I Love You’ jar. All you need for this one is an old jar (you can try and make it a slightly decorative one but if you’ve only got something plain you could also paint the outside).  Now, on small pieces of paper or cards, write why you love them and pop them in the jar. You could even add some ideas for date nights or mini breaks you can go to throughout the year. Finish the present off with a decorative ribbon and a label and voila, your love is in a jar.

Having a small budget doesn’t mean you can’t treat your partner to a nice night out. Take a look to see if there are any local gigs or stand-up comedy shows in your area. These events are often reasonably priced, and during Valentine’s season, there’s bound to be plenty to choose from. Who knows? You might even discover the next big artist or comedian!

If you both love board games, how about gifting him a personalised jigsaw puzzle with his favourite picture of you together? If you’re looking for something easy, go for a 500-piece puzzle. But if you’re up for a late-night challenge and want to keep the fun going, the 1000-piece version will definitely do the trick!

If you need some more gift ideas for him this Valentine’s Day, we have lots of ideas for budgets both big and small.

Cheap Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

Now, let’s focus on thoughtful and cheap Valentine’s Day ideas for her. This is the day to make your loved one feel special and give her the care and attention she deserves.

Why not start with the Valentine’s Day classic – a dozen red roses. You can keep it simple and go with a single stem, or a small bunch and it can be just as meaningful as a larger arrangement. In fact, the number of roses you give actually has different meanings. Learn more about the roses we have chosen this Valentine’s Day.

If you want to take things a step further, why not bring the spa experience home? After a busy start to the year, she’ll appreciate the chance to unwind with a relaxing at-home spa session. Put together a self-care package with bath bombs, face masks, and scented candles, and set the mood with soft lighting and music.

Feeling a bit adventurous? Head into the kitchen and cook up your best culinary creation. You can really go all out with the love heart theme - think love heart-shaped cakes, cookies, or even brownies – or treat her to her favourite 3 course dinner.

Valentine’s Day Ideas

Are you looking for budget-friendly ways to celebrate the special day? Forget big fancy meals out or romantic trips abroad, here are some budget-friendly ideas to inspire you!

Start the morning off with a lovely breakfast in bed. Whether you go for a classic full English, a continental spread with croissants, or something sweet like fluffy pancakes paired with orange juice and a side of fruit, your partner will be a happy bunny for the rest of the day! If breakfast isn’t your thing or you don’t have time before work, why not plan an indoor picnic? Set up a cosy spot with pillows and blankets, and lay out your favourite treats like cheese, crackers, cold meats, olives, and fruit. Add a relaxing playlist to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a dreamy indoor picnic.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about heading out. Sometimes staying at home and spending special time with your loved one can be even nicer. For movie lovers, nothing beats a cosy movie marathon at home. Snuggle up on the sofa with blankets, grab some popcorn, and pick a lineup of your favourite films or series. Let the afternoon slip away as you relax and unwind together.

For something a little different, consider planning a visit to a local museum, gallery or simply a countryside walk. It’s a wonderful way to spend time together while exploring somewhere new. Many places offer free entry, and some even host special Valentine’s Day exhibits or activities.

No matter how you celebrate, Valentine’s Day is all about showing love and appreciation. With these thoughtful, budget-friendly ideas, you can make lasting memories without spending a fortune.
