5 Inexpensive Valentine's Day Date Ideas

Hello Friends!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner and Valentine's Day being shoved down everyone's throat on tv, and in stores, I decided to jump on board the Valentine's Day train! It seems like more people focus on the amount of money spent on the significant other, rather than the thought put into it. Let's face it, some times the funds for an over the top Valentine's Day just isn't there, so I have come up with 5 Inexpensive, fun, thoughtful Valentine's Day Date Ideas!

1. Body Paint Date - For this fun date night idea you can purchase actually body paint or if you want to spice things up buy editable body paint or use items from the grocery store such as chocolate syrup, whip cream etc. You can use imagination run wild and think of items that will add color. Take time to paint each other and enjoy the time together! Afterward you can take a picture to capture the moment forever. However I caution you posting it to instagram or other social media sites! Lol

2. Fondue - or should I say "fundue" - yeah I know that was a really bad pun! Anyway, get ur self a fondue pot and have a cosy night in complete with candlelight atmosphere of course! I love having fondue night! I always buy too much food. I forget that since you are taking time making the food you eat slower and fill up on a small amount! Having one fondue pot is helpful if you want to do a cheese course, a meat and veggie course, and of course a dessert course of melted chocolate or other delicious treat! You can use one pot but it is a little more time consuming because you have to clean the pot between courses.

3. Plan a picnic - This one can be done in a living room, outside (depending on where you live!) Or you could even surprise your honey if your significant other has to work. The thing that makes this extra special is attention to detail. Chose food your honey likes, try to think of everything so that you have everything you need to make it special!

4. Cook a recipe together - Get your Chef Ramsey on and heat up the kitchen by cooking a meal together. Plan a menu but have the number of take out near by, in case things don't turn out well. The key is too not stress out about it! Relax and let your creative juices fly! Again remember to set the mood, maybe if you are cooking a pasta dish turn on the French Cafe radio station on Pandora to make it feel more authentic!

5. Play Valentine's Day Guess The Food - With this one you can either use Valentine's Day food such as strawberries, chocolate etc. You don't have to stick to a theme, it is all up to you! Just make it fun! Blindfold and guess the food! You could also have your significant other buy his own food to make you guess so that you do not know what food is in play!


Some people hate Valentine's day, so you if are one of those people you don't have to be left out! Treat yourself to whatever it is you like and do for you! Or you can throw an Anti-Valentine's Day party!

I hope that these ideas have inspired you to think outside a box and remember, you don't need a ton of money to show someone you love them. You don't need a special day to do so either!

Whatever you do this Valentine's Day, I hope it's a great one for you!
