Can't buy me love - Valentines Day in a recession.
With Valentines Day coming in the not-so-distant future, many recession-strapped Valentines are wondering what they can do for their sweetie this year.
NORWELL MA, January 08, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With Valentine's Day coming in the not-so-distant future, many recession-strapped Valentines are wondering what they can do for their sweetie this year. Especially since fancy dinners at five-star restaurants, bouquets of flowers and treating your Valentine to a day of pampering at spa are not exactly in a lot of peoples budgets these days.
Still, according to love expert Paul Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating--one of the worlds largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 50 offices nationwide--just because times might be tough, it does not mean romance must suffer.
Valentines Day is about love and romance. Somehow that got twisted into how much you spend. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is truly the thought that counts. And if the economy has made people stop and really put some thought into the little things they can do for that special someone in their life on Valentines Day, they are going to be pleasantly surprised both with how little it costs and the results, says Falzone.
Here are some budget-friendly, thoughtful gestures you might want to try this Valentines Day:
● Leave a racy picture on your mates cell phone.
● Text a romantic message at a time of day when you know things get rather hectic and your sweetie could use a pick-me-up.
● Leave a chocolate or single rose on your Valentines pillow.
● Use a bar of soap to draft a love note on your bathroom mirror.
● Eat in for Valentines day with candles providing the only light. Better yet, spread out a blanket and have your meal as a picnic on the living room floor even better if you have a fireplace.
● Instead of a day at the spa, take turns giving each other back rubs.
● Have a glass of your loved ones favorite drink ready and waiting for them when they get home. If your loved one likes beer or wine, serve it in a frosted glass unless they prefer it warm.
● Celebrate Valentines Day on February 13 or 15 to make it your holiday and not one shared with the rest of the world.
● Pick one household chore your Valentine usually does and surprise them by doing it before they get a chance to (e.g. making the bed). It may not sound romantic, but the thought will most certainly count.
You know, you keep hearing about the doom and gloom of today economy, but it actually presents a lot of opportunities. One is to show the person you love how much by using your imagination and not your checkbook. And that, my friends, is the secret to making Valentines Day one he or she will always remember, said Falzone.
