The ‘love month’ is very much in. With romance knocking your door swiftly, we know you are looking for some special gift to make the occasion all the more beautiful and romantic for your loved one. While, finding that perfect gift can be tough, the fact that holiday season has just ended and funds can be really tight makes the choice even tougher.

So if you are like me, watching your pennies and yet looking for ways to romance your sweetheart this Valentine’s day, do not be disappointed. You need not have to break the bank by buying something that is completely out of the budget or totally impersonal just to impress your lover because it is the norm!

The best gifts are those that are bought with feeling and not those that cost the most! After all, it is not how much money you spend for your loved one that matters but the feeling you have for him/her that counts.

So forget about those ‘diamond necklaces’, ‘engagement rings’, ‘fancy watches’, ‘budget-breaking gadgets’, i-phones, etc. and begin to think out of the box for a budget friendly Valentine’s day.

Still confused? Here are some low cost ways to express your love and show your care this Valentine’s day:
