Ah, Valentine’s day. A beautiful day dedicated to showering your significant other with love and attention. Although a romantic dinner and movie may seem like the way to go, 2019 might be the year your relationship deserves something more. Here are three ideas that won’t hurt your wallet and are sure to leave your Valentine content.
- Have a picnic
If the weather is nice, take your honey out to a picnic in the park. Make sure to bring a blanket to sit on, as well as a variety of favorite foods that you can share. If the weather isn’t up to par, set up an indoor picnic! Play your favorite music, string lights or use a couple of candles, or even make a fort.
- Paint date
This idea is perfect for any couple who loves to show their creative side. You can get a small canvas and acrylic paint set from places like Target or Walmart for less than 10 dollars. Prep a table with paper grocery bags for protection and get to work!
- Spa day
Recipes for DIY facials are all over the internet and a majority of the ingredients you’re likely to have in your pantry or fridge. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a spa day with your significant other with this chocolate facial, courtesy of FacialFlex.com.
