The essence of Valentine’s Day is that people should be spending time and sharing love with family, friends, or their partner. Love speaks for itself so people shouldn’t feel pressured into buying extravagant, pricey gifts for their significant other during the holiday season. Below are four budget-friendly gift ideas for Valentine’s Day.
DUNKIN’S V-DAY GOODIES
Dunkin’ Donuts released its seasonal Valentine’s Day themed drinks and donuts on Feb. 1. They are available for the entire month. These beverages include the Brownie Batter and Cocoa Mocha Signature Lattes. For people who are not fans of coffee, they can enjoy the Strawberry Coconut Refresher.
Dunkin also offers heart-shaped donuts in two flavors: Brownie Batter or Cupid’s Choice. Brownie Batter donuts have chocolate brownie flavored creme filling while Cupid’s Choice is stuffed with Bavarian Kreme and topped with strawberry icing.
CUPID’S LOVE POTION
Those who are competitive could make it a contest about who can make the best milkshake.
Gather chocolate syrup, ice cubes, milk of choice, maraschino cherries, and vanilla ice-cream. Put ingredients into a blender’s container. Blend for 30 seconds or until desired texture. Pour it into a drinking glass. Add whipped cream and top it off with a cherry.
LOVE-INFESTED MASON JAR
Instead of writing a love letter, try filling a mason jar with notes of affection. These can include reasons for loving someone special or showcasing a few beloved memories. g
Only four things are needed to make this gift: a permanent marker, mason jar, scissors, and some white construction paper. While brainstorming things to write, look through old photos or videos to help spark any memories.
Once all elements have been written on the paper, use scissors to cut around each one. Then fold the pieces in half placing them in the mason jar. Draw hearts all around the jar or add stickers. This gift is sentimental and proves that you care for the individual receiving it.
PLAYLIST: THINKING ABOUT YOU
Music can be used to bring people together in a wide variety of ways. Sometimes listening to certain songs can bring a person back to a memory or someone associated with it. For this gift, create a playlist on a music platform that is used by the gift receiver.
This playlist will feature songs that are reminiscent of their significant other or friend along. Add the tracks and share it with the desired person.
