Love is in the air this coming February 14th! People who
celebrate this significant day are certainly wondering what the best Valentine’s
gift is for their lover, friends or family while keeping their budgets in
check. After all, the quality of a relationship is not measured by the quantity
of money spent on the other but what actually matters is the good, sincere
intention. The following are a few inexpensive Valentine’s Day ideas that will
do justice to both your loved one and your pocket.
1. DIY accessories
All you need to do is get the materials,
which can be recycled ones as well, and follow the instructions provided online
such as Google and YouTube. A lot of money can be saved when you make these
yourself as you are not paying for the brand. This is a great idea because you
get to handpick the color, size and details of the accessory so that it
perfectly fits the preference of your loved one.
Estimated price: < RM 20
2. A home cooked meal
Heard of the saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach”? Well, it applies to women too, or at least women enjoy seeing men
cook. They say it is sexy. So, why not head to the market and grab some fresh
ingredients to prepare a meal at home instead of paying double the price at a restaurant?
In addition, a candlelight dinner with dim lighting and scented candles would
be perfect to make your loved one feel even more special.
Estimated price: < RM30
3. Picnic
Instead of being indoors, perhaps you would want a change of
environment on Valentines’ Day under a green, shady tree with the soft breeze. It
would be ideal during the evening sunset. Firstly, going to a park is
absolutely free and all you need to spend is on snacks or make some sandwiches.
Estimated price: < RM15
4. Love notes
This is a good opportunity for you to pour your feelings out
on pieces of paper, collected in a small jar or bottle, for instance. To make
it fancier, pour colored salt (use food coloring) into a jar or bottle, then
fill it with your rolled-up love notes and close it with a cork or a decorated
lid.
Estimated price: < RM10
Trust and sense of belonging are two important elements in any
relationship. Hence, why not bring that special someone to meet your parents or
group of friends whom you are close with? This idea works even better if you
have not done so previously as you will be able to get to know your Valentine
better.
Estimated price: RM 0
6. Kayaking
Want to enjoy some peace and calm Mother Nature can offer on
Valentine’s Day? There are kayaks available for rent at Tasik Shah Alam for
only less than RM10 per hour! Not only will you be able to spend some quiet
time alone with your loved one but also to enjoy a fun boat ride.
Estimated price: < RM10
7. Make a video
With today’s advanced technology, creating a video would
cost nothing at all. Just collect pictures or short videos of the both of you
together on your happier, more memorable days and compile them all into a
simple video. Poems, romantic quotes or meaningful songs can be added in as
well. Tip: Use Windows Movie Maker.
Estimated price: RM 0
8. Cycling
Going for a bicycle ride with your loved one is indeed
inexpensive as you could either rent bicycles for a low price or use your own
bicycle. You could cycle early in the morning to catch the sunrise or even late
at night for a moonlight cruise; romantic isn’t it?
Estimated price: < RM15
