Thread: Valentines Prezzie £10 or less

So myself and oh are getting married in August and are away in American fOr 2 weeks before hand so are trying to save money. We decided to just go out fOr a nice meal/date night together her and spend no mOre than £10 on a present. Any of you have any good ideas as to what I could get?

How about the following:

A voucher for a massage done by you
A bottle of wine £3-4
A box of Quality steet/Roses style sweets (£2 for 400g currently in Tesco)
Popcorn - 2 for £2 in Tesco's
Small bottle of baby oil for massage (100 ml) £1.25

Written instructions for a movie night at home so something like

1 Chill or prepare wine as appropriate
2 Select movie from pre owned selection or TV
3 Arrange popcorn and chocolates within easy reach
4 Dim lights and turn off mobile phones
etc

There are cute little teddies for £1 each in ASDA or milk chocolate roses (as in shaped like a roses not the box of chocs) for £2. Honestly there are absolutely loads of things you can get for under a tenner or of course you could make something which would be almost free.

Sooo glad we don't do Valentines day although have to admit I did want me one of those choccy roses haha

A nice photoframe with a pic of you both?

Oo some great ideas, thanks ladies. I knew you'd be able to help!

When my OH was away in afghan I sent him a bottle of "happy pills" which I made from a pill box and wrote little messages, jokes, pictures, reminders of memories we'd made together etc and folded them up and put them in the bottle. I made a sticker for the front and a sticker for the back with a "prescription" for him to take (open) one a day or two if feeling particularly down and needed a pick me up. He absolutely loved it and said it was the best present he had ever had.
I have made another one for valentines as we live apart and we both struggle with missing each other. Ive called these "love and happiness pills" its got love quotes that Ive trawled the internet for ones that apply to how i feel about him, jokes that we've laughed together at, memories, lyrics from our favourite songs etc. I've kissed a bit of paper with red lipstick on and told him he has to keep it in his pocket the day he gets that "pill" and every time he puts his hand in his pocket he will feel it and think of us kissing. I'm sure you will be able to think of more ideas!
And the best part is its free!

Also a nice idea for a leaving gift for those who's partners are off on tour. They will love it.
