Tips to choose the perfect valentine’s gift for ladies on a budget

Valentine is in a week’s time and the perfect time to show affection to your loved one no matter how little your budget is. There are a variety of gifts that wont rip your pockets; homemade cards, candy hearts, sweet-smelling flowers, box of chocolates or sexy lingerie are on the greatest hits list and not too expensive.  But you can go beyond these traditional gifts and think out of the box. Are you confused or undecided on what to do for Valentine’s Day? Below are a few tips on choosing a Valentine’s Day gift for her on a budget.

The first step in gift giving is to consider the individual you are giving: what they love, their hobbies, interests and personality. If you are in a new relationship, take the time to ask subtle questions or make careful observations when you are together.

Consider your budget: You don’t need to spend a fortune to have a big impact.

Choose gifts that are consistent with your relationship; for a new relationship still at the talking stage, don’t give her a sentimental card with a long gushy message and for long relationship, you can’t be careless and give something like a bag of small chocolates.

Buy in advance because gifts like flowers and chocolates sell close to Valentine’s Day.

Get a red rose; it is tradition and a hit.

Buy a card and add your own message.

Get chocolates; it doesn’t have to be a huge box or bag if you are on a budget.

If you want to move away from tradition, you can go for classic gifts; you can make a photo book especially if you are on a budget, no need to splash the cash when you can display all their favourite moments in one place.

Get home décor; personalised wall art, to brighten their living space

You can spruce up their workspace with a new desk calendar that has important date and anniversaries.
