With Valentine’s Day rolling around so soon, we’ve pulled some ideas \u201c budget-friendly ones \u201c that keep the love in Valentine’s Day but leave your wallet in tact:<\/p>\n

1. Dinner Date for Two at Home<\/strong>
This year Valentine’s Day<\/a> falls right smack in the middle of the week. So an evening in, just the two of you, can be appealing. Cook up a favourite meal – appetizers, main course, dessert and all. And reconnect<\/a> over a dinner by candlelight. Budget-friendly and kind of fun to cook up a great meal together.<\/p>\n

2. Movie Buffs<\/strong>
Pop some popcorn and snuggle in to some of your favourite all-time movies. You pick one and let them pick the other. Cozy up by a fireplace and a quiet, romantic date night is born.<\/p>\n

3. Outdoor Adventure<\/strong>
Some of the best dates are budget-friendly and creatively thought out. Throw on a pair of skates and find your closest outdoor rink and skate under the stars. Warm up with some hot chocolate afterwards.<\/p>\n

4. Indoor Picnic<\/strong>
Non-traditional, sure. And definitely memorable. Find a botanical garden in your city and pack up a simple lunch or dinner picnic of some of your favourite cheeses, throw in a baguette and some other goodies and your set. The best of both worlds while it’s wintering outside.<\/p>\n

5. Long Distance<\/strong>
Maybe you’re negotiating distance in your relationship this Valentine’s Day. If so, that doesn’t let you off the hook. Write a note and tell the person how you feel about them and what they’ve added to your life. Don’t borrow words, just jot down whatever comes to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
