What does a frugal lover give for Valentines?

A kiss - and then do the same every other day of the year as well.

it depends on what kind of things your boyfriend likes. something that everyone gives on valentines day is a box of chocolate,roses,or a card.

Not necessarily.  Most people buy valentine's day gifts becasue they feel obligated to.  You can tell how much he cares by how he treats you every other day.

my husband's favorite valentine's day gift i've given him is a journal i bought in which, on each page, i wrote something that i love about him. (i also proposed to him on the last page, but you can't really use that every valentine's day, lol.)

..No dear, instead go prove to yourself that you've not a loner in need !\nWhoever told u that St Valentine's Day is only to express your feelings for ur spouse, or girlfriend ?! Love is one commodity that you can gift to just about anyone :\n...Go, for example, to an orphanage in you hometown - and gift some sweets or pastries to the kids there. The warm affection that they give in return will NOT be faked - but the real thing !\nOr, visit some aged friends/relations, and take 'em out for a simple picnic lunch : Their genuine gratitude for your gesture will kindle a lot more warmth in ur heart - than even a lover's kiss ever can !\n...Life is not what u take of it pal, it is what u MAKE of it ! \nHappy Valentine's Day ! Cheers !!

I'm going to fix a great supper - something my mom & kids love, like spaghetti & meatballs - & serve it up on special Valentine's plates with napkins & punch to drink! I order a chocolate lovers cake from our local bakery & have them decorate it with roses & Happy Valentine's Day! written on it, for dessert. I love to fix gift bags with something special for the children & I mail them anonymous cards with dollars in them! Oh, & I put up a white tree & cover it with hearts, drape garland over the doors & put red lights in the bushes outside with a big heart on the front door!!

We buy valentines day cards and flowers for our valentines (the commercial aspect) and we take them out or stay home for a romantic dinner (the romantic aspect).\n\nPS Did I forget to mention CHOCOLATE!!! :)

Well, you shouldn't have to please her with material things, such as gifts and dinners. Love can not be bought, just like freindship. All you should have to give is affection.

I think that the best present is one that you can make for him.  A "coupon" book with things that you would do for him.  A backrub, a romantic dinner ect... Present it to him while you guys are out to eat for V-day or make him a V-day dinner.

You could give her a gift card a day or two before (to Victoria's Secret for example) and have her go pick something out.  $50-$70 (maybe $100 if you really want to splurge) should be plenty.  Give it to her with a card and in the card instruct her to buy something sexy to wear on V-day!  A lot of lingerie looks better on the models (and on the hanger) than it will on a real woman.  I bought lingerie for myself for Valentine's day, and I must have tried on 10 things and the one I bought is the only one that really looked good.  If you do this, it is a present for you both - you get the surprise of seeing what she picks out, and she gets the fun of going and buying herself something that makes her feel sexy.

I would get them a card for sure. You could get them a little holiday themed plushie. Those are always cute and my friends love them. Those can be easily found almost anywhere. My friends also like the little bottles of Bath and Body Works stuff. It fits inside purses and the stuff they have is great! They usually go for about $2.50 a bottle, and sometimes they have special sales. They have a lot of different types, so it's pretty fun. Inexpensive jewelry is nice too. Claire's offers a lot of that.\n\nHope this helps!

One of my favorite "short on cash" kinds of presents is coupons.  This happens a lot between me and my wife.  I use the computer to make them nice, but they're still almost free to do - and can be for anything... walks in the park, romantic dinners, rent a movie together, Sunday drive, anything. \n\nRemember, the people who love you most value being with you over anything material that you could buy for them.\n\nMerry Christmas!

Agreed. Keep it simple since you just started dating. I'd suggest dinner, or a romantic picnic (depending on the climate). You could also buy her a cute little stuffed animal or something simple to remember. Oh, if you haven't kissed her yet, save it until after dinner on Valentine's Day. She'll definitely remember that.

You mean - Is it cheesy to BUY your boyfriend a Valentine's Day give when YOU'RE young?\n\nThe complete answer would depend on how young you are. Generally, it wouldn't be cheesy at all.  Just don't get too crazy about it, don't spend too much money.  Something small would be fine.

Everyday is a good day to show Love, so a simple gesture like a heart shaped candy/chocolate, and a note/card...maybe dinner...in or out it depends on what would be more appreciated by your partner.  Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Gifts are from the heart, so give what you can afford to.
