Tips to Save Money On Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day is an expensive time of the year.  Chocolates, Lingerie, Flowers and other stuff is the norm now and that makes it expensive.  Here are some ideas to save you some money during these tough economic times.

1) Say No To Roses
Sure 12 Red Roses means love.  However, unless you've only been dating a short time or you know roses are her favorite just about any bouquet of flowers is perfect for the occasion.  Flower stores really increase the price of roses during valentine's day so just say NO to roses.  Simple as that.  Looking for other nice flowers?  Try Carnations or an assortment of flowers.

Suggested Flower Stores: Next Day Flowers, Clare Florist and Flying Flowers.

2) Buy A Smaller Box of GOOD chocolate.

Instead of spending a large amount of a box of chocolates go for quality NOT quantity.  Surely you don't want your girl eating a whole box of chocolates by herself anyway.  Why not get her 6 chocolates of her very favorite type.  Note that I'm not saying cheap out on chocolates.  I'm saying buy HIGH quality.

Suggested Good Chocolates Suppliers: Chocolate Trading Company and zChocolat.com

3) Lingerie Deals

Many lingerie stores have specials after Christmas and for Valentine's Day. Take a look around for special Lingerie Coupon codes, specials and promotions.  For example CheapSmells has a promotion for up to 80% off regular priced items right now.

Suggested Retailer:  Fig Leaves UK, LaSenza UK and CX LONDON BOUTIQUE

Buy and Prepare Early

To avoid paying extra for Flowers, shipping and chocolates you should prepare early.  In fact if you time it correctly you can get some Christmas Shopping sales and buy the products you need for Valentine's day.

Deliver Flowers To The Office

Valentine's day is a perfect day for flower delivery.  If you can't get XX then be sure to send something to the office.

I've had lots of guys tell me, "I'm having dinner tonight, I have something special already do I really have to buy flowers for the office?"

The answer.  Absolutely. Most ladies who work in an office will chat about it being Valentine's day.  Some will have plans others won't.  It's almost inevitable that one of the ladies will have something delivered to them at the office. Although she may not say it your lady will most likely become jealous of the fact that someone else's husband or boyfriend sent a gift.

Don't let her put any doubt in her mind.   Get something delivered.

Tips on what to get delivered.

Flower: Flowers are great because they remind her of you and is a great way to brighten up her day.

Suggested Florist: Flying Flowers (Free UK Delivery)

Chocolates: Chocolates are great because she can share the chocolates with the whole office. Thus making the other ladies in the office jealous!

Suggested Chocolatier:Chocolate Trading Company

Make sure to get the company to write a little note saying how much you love her and look forward to seeing her that night.  This is extremely important and can be just as important as the flowers or chocolates themselves!

Either way.  Get something delivered to her office

6 Tips To Keep Valentine’s Day Resonable

Valentine's Day is an expensive time of the year. If you're tight on cash here are a few tips to help you still treat your lady, husband, etc as they should be treated but at a lower cost.

1) Set a Budget
Setting a budget that you think is reasonable is the best way to maintain a good spending level.   Whatever your budget is be prepared to spend that and try NOT to go over.

2) Plan According to your budget
Now that you have a budget you should try breaking down the plans for the day.
Where are you going on Valentine's day?
What are you doing after that?
What are you going to buy?

Now set an approximate dollar value to each of those categories and plan accordingly.

3) Celebrate the day after or before
This year's Valentine's day is on a Saturday so this is tough this year.  However, years down the road celebrating the day after can lead to much easier reservations at restaurants and cheaper chocolates and flowers.

4) Cook A Nice Dinner At Home
Restaurants are expensive and can really sky rocket the budget.  A great idea is to cook a nice dinner at home.  This usually works out to about a quarter the price of a meal in a restaurant.  If you don't have any cuisine skills then you can always order in which is usually half the price of a meal out.   JustEat UK is a great place to order food online. Be sure to clean your house and light some candles to make a more intimate mood.

5) Look For Free Evening Activities
Often the best things in life are free.  Use this to your advantage and come up with some nice evening plans that are free (or cheap).  Possibly a walk in a park (or a skate in the park) go window shopping, walk along the popular street, etc.. Be creative and look to your cities website for brainstorming ideas.

6) Make Valentine's Day About The Two of You
Although Valentine's day can be expensive and stressful remember that it's a celebration of your love with each other. Stress this with her when you're making your valentine plans.

Romantic Gift Ideas – Deliver YOURSELF To The Office

Surprise her at work .... delivered by you!

Items Needed:  Balloons, Flowers and Chocolates

Suggested Retailers: Bizzy Balloons, Clare Florist and Chocolate Trading Company

You simply get a nice bouquet of flowers, chocolates and balloons.  During her normal work hours just 'pop by' for a quick little visit. Yes, there are a few more details to it then that but the idea is instead of getting a delivery person to bring the items YOU bring them to her.

If she has a secretary book an appointment for a meeting.  If she works as at a restaurant reserve a table in her section under a moniker. Remember that you don't want to stress her out by stopping by at work.  If she's busy be sure to take a minute or two out of her day to say hi and drop off the stuff.  Do your best to creatively book 15 minutes out of her day to chat with you.   Possibly set a lunch date even.

Tips on selecting the flowers and balloons.

Ideally you'd like a large bouquet of flowers and/or a few balloons.  The idea being you'd like to be hidden behind the flowers and balloons so that when you show up she's wondering who the lucky girl is.

Top Ten Valentine’s Day Gifts For Guys

Here are the top ten Valentine's Ideas for Guys. Any of the these gifts should make your man happy to be with you on Valentine's day. Ladies, Valentine's day is a two way street so be sure to get at least a little something for your man.

1) Spirits

Men like spirits be it Scotch or Rum. You can buy a nice bottle of Scotch or Rum that he wouldn't buy for himself.  If your man likes spirits this is a valentine's gift that he'll be super happy with and tell his friends what a cool wife he has.

Suggested Retailers: The Whisky Exchange, TheDrinkShop, Vin Vino Direct Ltd

Suggested Retailers: Chocolate Trading Company or Cadbury Gifts Direct

3) Lingerie For You

Suggested Retailers: FigLeaves, La Senza, Knickerbox,

4) Lingerie For Him
Lingerie is probably the wrong word here but some sort of boxers or something that you would like to see him in. This can be a bit of a more risque present so be sure that when he opens it that you're showing him you want to be a bit naughty.

Suggested Retailers: FigLeaves, La Senza, Knickerbox

5) A Cool Experiences

Men, in general, are much more adventurous then ladies.  What better way to show your adventurous side then to buy him a cool experience for Valentine's day. What do we mean by cool experience? How about driving a Oval Race Car?  Flying in a Bulldog Military Plane ?  Or taking a Whisky Tasting Masterclass?

Suggested Experience Retailers: Red Letter Days or Buyagift.co.uk

6) Tickets to a Sporting Match (or another sporting event)
Another unique idea that all guys will love is buying tickets to his favorite event or team. He enjoys Tennis how about tickets to Wimbeldon. A footie nut? How about tickets to his favorite team.

Suggested Retailers: DoSomethingDifferent.com, Red Letter Days or Virgin Experience Days

7) Make Something Personal

Be Creative and make something special that he'll enjoy.  If you don't have time to fabricate something yourself then you can simply order something from Getting Personal and have his and your name added to the item. You can make a coffee cup, mouse pad, Champagne Bottles engraved or any other item.

Get Him Pampered

Yes men enjoy getting pampered too.  You can get him a massage, facial or even manicure.  It's not uncommon for men to get a manicure now.  Worried that he won't like the present then buy yourself the same treatment and it can be a couples day together!

Suggested Retailers: SpaFinder or Red Letter Days

9) Shaving Supplies

Although, we may not enjoy shaving all the time we do enjoy having the proper and good quality supplies. Plus, if we know that you enjoy our fragrance after shaving we're much more likely to shave. Therefore, think about getting some shaving supplies or cologne.

Suggested Retailers: CheapSmells.com or Adonis Grooming

10) Man Flowers

The man equivalent to flowers is beer (or wine if that's what he prefers). Get him a case of beer for valentine's day. If you think he's never heard of the term 'Man Flowers' a fun trick is to wrap the beer like a bouquet of flowers. Although, this works much better with Wine as you can make the wrapping look very much like flowers.

Suggested Retailers: Majestic Wine, Vintage Wine Gifts or Adnams Cellar & Kitchen

Romantic Valentine’s Day Ipod Idea

A great idea for a romantic present for your special one is to take the 'mixed cd' to a new level. This works great for the girl who wants a new ipod or phone.

• Simply go out and buy an ipod or other mp3 player. ~£150 (or whatever you want to spend)
• Now load the IPod with a variety of songs that have meaning between you and her. If you don't have the music then buy it at iTunes UK as you get the music instantly
• Now repackage the Ipod so that it looks "unopened"

Now get it gift wrapped and give it to her!

Cost:

£150 - Ipod
£20 - Music

This can combined with an iTunes UK or HMV gift card so that she can add other music that she enjoys too!

Need an Ipod or Iphone we've listed some below.

Top Ten Valentines Days Gift Ideas For Her – 2009

Valentine's Day can be a tricky day for men around the globe.

Here is the list of top ten gift ideas for Valentine's day 2009. You can't really go wrong with any of these gift ideas but remember that you should put some thought into your gift. Simply getting chocolates and flowers for the third year in a row just might not cut it.  Maybe you'll have to up your game and get a couples massage or some nice perfume.

1. Chocolates

Chocolates are a Valentine's day classic.  Remember with chocolates you're looking for QUALITY over QUANTITY.  It's much better to get 6 high quality truffles then a box of assorted chocolates that she might not like. You can also get a nice variety box of chocolates packaged in a heart for that special Valentine's touch!

Suggested Retailers: Hotel Chocolat or Chocolate Trading Company

2. Flowers

Flowers and Chocolates on Valentine's day are two of the most common valentine's day presents.  But don't be fooled, all girls love flowers on valentines day. Almost guaranteed the girl will like and WANT flowers on Valentine's day. So make your life easier and buy a small bouquet of flowers even if you have other things already purchased.

Suggested Retailers: Next Day Flowers, Clare Florist or Flying Flowers

3. Jewelery

If Flowers and Chocolates aren't her thing or you're looking for something a bit more chique then consider some nice jewelery. A nice pendant or earings can tell her how you really feel. Remember that girls like diamonds so if that's within your budget you'll definitely win her over with a diamond.

Suggested Retailers: My Diamonds, Purely Diamonds or Goldsmiths

4. Lingerie

Lingerie is in our minds the perfect gift for your girl for valentine's day.  It's so perfect because it's really a gift for both of you.  She gets to feel very special having a little bit of naughty clothing while you get to enjoy seeing the items you picked out.  Really a win-win situation!

Suggested Retailers: LaSenza, KnickerBox, FigLeaves or Ann Summers

5. Perfume

Perfume is a great gift for the men with a classy lady.  This gift is perfect for those ladies who have almost everything because you can either buy her the usual perfume (by doing a bit of research prior to buying) or try a new scent.  We recommend buying a popular label if you're going for a new scent.

Suggested Retailers: feelunique.com, CheapSmells.com or Lookfantastic.com

6. Make-up

Make-up is a great gift for the girly girl who doesn't want chocolate.  This makes a great gift because you can write in the card something like, "now you'll think of me when applying your makeup in the morning" or something of that nature.

Suggested Retailers: Skinlight Cosmetics or Lookfantastic.com

7. Gift Baskets

Gift Baskets (or Gift Hampers) are a great gift for the girl who you've recently started dating.   They're a selection of everything which gives her a sample of all kinds of things.  You aren't restricted to the normal fruit basket as you can buy a cream and bath baskets or chocolate gift baskets so be creative or create your own.

Suggested Retailers: First4hampers

8. Spa Gift Certificate

A spa gift certificate is a nice present as you're treating her to getting pampered.  All girls love getting manicures, pedicures, facials and massages. You can take this gift one step further and get a couples massage or a couple treatment.  This way you will spend the day together and get to enjoy the present as well. Recommended price would be around £100.

Suggested Retailers: SpaFinder, Red Letter Days or Buyagift.co.uk

9. Electronics

Electronics are a bit less personal Valentine's Day Present.  Therefore, we recommend adding this WITH a bouquet of flowers.  The nice thing about buying electronics is that maybe she wants a new ipod or phone.  This is the perfect time for this present as she probably won't be expecting it!

Suggested Retailers: Currys or Dixons

10. Personalized Gift

A personalized gift is one of the best ways to show your love.  Personal presents are usually impressive to her as she'll know that you've put some planning and forethought into your present. Be unique when buying something like that as you don't want to buy something useless with your initials.  It's better to get something that she'll use like a calendar of the two of you.
