Valentine’s Day is coming up on Saturday, February 14, 2009 and can often be an expensive holiday. Because issues related to finance can easily cause stress in a relationship, consider the following tips to have a debt-free holiday!
1. Think about that flower purchase. If your loved one will be extremely unhappy without flowers, consider choosing less popular flowers and colors. For example, everyone buys red roses; why not consider orchids, tulips, lilies or a mixed bouquet?
2. Consider having a nice candlelit dinner at home, is it really necessary to go out to a restaurant that will be extremely busy and thus possibly not offer the best service? See the recipes to the right brought to you by RecipeMatcher to create a nice romantic dinner in the comfort of your own home.
3. See some live music. No need to buy expensive concert tickets, instead seek out a jazz band playing at a local cafe or the local college music department putting on a concert on campus. If you are not into music, try to find a poetry reading or local play.
4. Express how you feel by writing your loved one a personally written note or card. Place the note in a place where your loved one will not expect the note, either in the car, on the door on the way out or on the mirror in the bathroom.
5. Have fun and enjoy the moment!
