I am a firm believer in showing your love for someone year 'round, so when Valentine's Day comes around you shouldn't have to go above and beyond to show the love you should have been showing all year.
Being a broke college student, I also know the struggle of wanting to do something sweet for your significant other and not having the funds. So, I comprised this list to help you out.
1. "Open when" cards
Open when cards are an inexpensive and thoughtful gift that are sure to make your S.O. feel the love every day of the year.
