7 Ways To Celebrate A Late Valentine's Day On A Budget

No time to wait for the shipping process on the perfect gift? No money to blow at the jewelry store? No problem! Here are 7 ideas to get you started on your search.


1. Pictures of you. Don't own an expensive camera? Ask a friend. Offer to take Valentines Day pictures of them in repay. Too shy to get too sexy in front of a friend? Throw it back to the Myspace days and use your webcam, better yet, try a selfie stick. Put together a Kardashian worthy selfie book or save your pics to a USB drive.

2. Tickets to a show. Due to the last minute searching there's a chance you won't be able to get tickets to see a show on V-day, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Give your significant other the tickets at dinner on the holiday and see the show a day or two after. You'll get to celebrate for two days instead of one. Those who live here in Vegas be sure to ask about local discounts and do some research about what show the two of you will enjoy and what won't break the budget.


3. Customized T-shirt. Check out a place like The T-Shirt Diner at The Galleria Mall, and have a quirky saying in mind. Use a catch phrase you find your valentine saying over and over again, a movie quote they love or even a fun picture.


4. Books. Is your significant other a big reader? Go to the local bookstore and pick out a Fitzgerald novel, a book of poems from the Romanticist poets, or a play from everyones favorite literary heartthrob, Shakespeare.


5. Cook or Bake. After all, the best way to someone's heart is through their stomach. Find out their favorite dish and look up a recipe for it online. If you're close with you significant other's parents you could even consider asking them for a recipe.

6. Coffee. The gift of caffeine is like none other to a college student, and nothing says "I love you" like a mug from a favorite cafe and a pound of everyone's favorite guilty pleasure beverage. Bonus idea: buy a plain mug and customize it with craft supplies.


7. Get Creative. Are you a writer? Craft a short story about him or a write a sonnet about her. Artist? Draw, sculpt or paint a work of art that's special to you. Musician? Burn a CD of you playing or singing your partner's favorite songs. Don't worry about it being perfect. It'll seem perfect because it came from the heart.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
