Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you have a special someone in your life, you might want to do something special for him or her. You could spend a lot of money if you wanted to, but there are so many frugal ways to express your affection without breaking the bank. Here are my best frugal Valentine’s Day gift ideas under $10.
Frugal Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Under $10
Write a bunch of love notes
Write a bunch of different little notes and stick them in a box or envelope for them to pull out over the course of the year. You can check out these Love Notes on Amazon if you don’t want to make your own.
Make a snack gift basket
Go to Aldi or Dollar Tree and get small packages of their favorite snacks, then put them all in a little gift bag.
Make a special treat
You could make one of these 14 easy DIY Valentine’s Day treats and put them on a cheap Valentine’s themed plate from Walmart or the dollar store.
Create a DIY coupon book
You could totally make this yourself, but Life as Mom has a DIY coupon book that you can copy. Add in things like date night, getting to sleep in on certain days, a massage, or whatever you can come up with!
Order a photo magnet or print
There are lots of photo magnet options at Walmart for under $10!
Make a custom playlist
Are you old enough to remember the days of mix CDs or even mixtapes? You can do it even easier now by making a playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Think of a theme like “songs that make me think of you” or “songs that remind me of when we were dating.”
Buy them a small plant
At hardware stores or even at some other stores, you can get a small plant or succulent for less than $10. Add a little note along with it. The plant pictured above is currently $9.99 at Tractor Supply!
Have a movie night at home
Rent a movie or stream one for free, then have a bowl of popcorn and your favorite sodas. As for what to watch, check out my list of 20 Date Night movies or top 50 romance movies.
