Valentine’s Day is approaching and with her come with romantic dinners, expensive gifts and impressive gestures … or not? If you think you have to spend a fortune to celebrate properly, we have good news for you: Love doesn’t cost!

There are ways to have a great time with your mate without emptying your wallet. So we’ve put together some ideas for an economical but unforgettable Valentine’s Day!

Romantic dinner at home

Forget the expensive restaurants and the books weeks ago. Cook a meal, even better, along with your mate and make it fun! Put soft music, light candles and enjoy dinner as if you are in the most exclusive part of the city – your kitchen!
Tip: You don’t need anything complicated, which always has the risk of frustrating failure. A simple dish of your favorite pasta and a glass of wine is enough to create an atmosphere.

Movie Night with blankets and snacks

Instead of cinema, make your own “home cinema”! No more private! Choose a favorite romantic movie (or even a horror if you prefer!), Prepare popcorn and enjoy a cozy night hug and want it … priceless …
Film ideas: The Notebook, La La Land, Before Sunrise, 500 Days of Summer.

Picnic in a park or at home

If the weather permits, make and take a snack basket and go to a park. If not, lay a blanket in the living room, prepare finger foods and experience a relaxed moment as if you were in nature.
What to take together: Little sandwiches, fruits, juice or wine and a playlist with relaxed music.

DIY gifts with meaning

The gifts do not need to be expensive to be separate. Make something with your hands, which will have more emotional value. Do you remember Chandler and Monica’s make the presents in the buddies? Well, this, but successful … What could you make on your own?

• a jar filled with reasons you love your mate
• A playlist with songs that remind you of your most beautiful moments
• A small album with your photos

Walk and romantic conversation

Instead of spending money in a shop, take a relaxed stroll in a beautiful area or near the sea. A mini excursion, that is, full of beautiful images and memories that will stay forever. The discussions you will make and the moments you share will be more valuable than any material gift.

Free events and activities

It’s not bad! Why not be this opportunity to do something different that will cost you and nothing more than travel costs, if you drink or pinch there? Look for free events in your city, such as exhibitions, concerts or movie screenings. Many times there are great choices that cost nothing.

Love is also not measured by how much you spend, but how do you feel the other. A honest “I love you” and a thoughtful move are enough to make Valentine’s Day unforgettable!
