Free Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Think back to your first Valentine’s Day with your love. You probably looked for the perfect gift, high and low. Am I, right? When my husband and I first started dating we were in college, we literally had NO money. I would try to think about a great idea for a small gift, anything that would show some love language.
Guess what I found? My Valentine’s Day Gifts were the best back then because they were truly from the heart. Our date night may have cost us less than $40, but they were meaningful. It meant so much to come up with a cute idea because it truly came from the heart because I didn’t have the money to buy anything expensive. Free gifts were something we did for years because our budget just didn’t allow it. Honestly? Those were the best gifts of all anyway!
The older I’ve gotten, the more I enjoy going back to basics and coming up with some free Valentine’s Day gift ideas. I want my gift ideas to be romantic gifts, but I also love the Valentine’s Day gift ideas, too that are simple.
