So, the most loved and hated day of the year is fast upon us, Valentine’s Day. What is a girl or guy suppose to do? Money’s tight and you just want your significant other to be happy. Well here are a few things you can do to make sure you have the sweetest holiday.

 
Go Out After the Holiday
Going out on the actual holiday quite frankly can be overwhelming. Restaurants are cramped because of overbooking and there is nothing intimate about feeling like a squished sardine in a can.

Buy Your Gift After the Holiday
A good chunk of the time, people are not able to celebrate on the actual holiday depending on what day of the week it falls on. So, use that fact to your benefit. Get up early and go to your local store and pick out those 50 percent plus off chocolates and plush toys for your sweetie. Why pay full price if you are not going to see them on the actual day? But at least make sure you make some effort on the actual day like send them a card to work so they get it and know that you are thinking of them even though you cannot be with them.

Date Night at Home
Come up with a bunch of date night ideas and write them on a popsicle stick and put them in a mason jar. Shake it up and have your significant other pull a popsicle stick out without looking at it, then take it and plan the surprise for them. Home cooked meals are always a crowd pleaser (if you cannot cook, pull a Mrs. Doubtfire and order in some catering quickly!)

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be spent with the one(s) you love and care most about. Make sure it does not break your bank account, but still make sure it brings a thrill to their eyes and heart. Even flowers still do the trick for anyone who thinks that may be too old fashion (Aldi’s has very fantastic prices on flowers on a regular basis too.)
