7 Ways to Make This Valentine’s Day One She’ll Cherish Without Spending a Dime

Today’s Love Letter is a guest post written by David N. Brace, founder of LifeLoveMarriage. Ladies, send this to your hubby.

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion to celebrate love and romance, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. 

You can make this Valentine’s Day one she’ll remember forever without spending a dime, by being creative, thoughtful, and attentive and making the day what it’s supposed to actually be about anyhow.

So, to inspire you and get your relationship kicked into high gear, I’ve laid out the 7 best ways to make V-Day something special without costing you anything.

1. Write Her a Love Letter

Nothing says “I love you” more than a heartfelt and sincere love letter. Express your feelings, appreciation, and gratitude for her in your own words. 

This is my go-to with my own wife, and women love it because when you take the time to write out something for them, it shows them how you feel in a tangible way.

They can picture the effort, energy, and time you put into making it, and that is why it’s so special and such a powerful thing to give her.

You can also include some quotes, poems, or lyrics that resonate with your relationship. 

Use a nice cardstock paper and envelope, and seal it with something romantic like melted red wax.

You can either mail it to her, hide it somewhere she’ll find it, or give it to her in person. The whole point is that when she reads it, her heart will melt, and your relationship will bloom.

2. Cook Her a Romantic Dinner

Women love a man who can cook. We have the old sayings like, “the way to someone’s heart is through their belly,” for a reason. It’s because eating something with someone is a sensual experience.

If you have some basic ingredients at home, you can whip up a delicious and romantic dinner for her. You can also use online recipes or videos to guide you. 

Try to make something that she likes or something that has a special meaning for you as a couple. You can also set the mood with some candles, music, and flowers. 

Don’t forget to do the dishes afterward! Taking time to make a meal for someone just because is a great way to show your love in a physical way that she can experience.

3. Give Her a Massage

A massage is a great way to relax and pamper her, especially after a long day. 

Now, the point here, men is to not try to immediately jump into frisky fun but to give her an actual, joyful time where her body is made to feel good and for her stress to melt away.

In fact, research has even shown that massage can relieve stress between couples and enhance the intimacy in their relationship. 

You can use some oil, lotion, or cream to make it more soothing. You can also add some aromatherapy, such as lavender, rose, or vanilla, to enhance the experience. 

Massage her back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs, feet, and hands, and pay attention to her reactions. You can also ask her what she likes and dislikes and adjust accordingly.

4. Make Her a Playlist

Music is a powerful way to express your emotions and connect with her. You can make her a playlist of songs that remind you of her or that have a special significance for your relationship. 

You can also include some songs that you know she loves or that you want to share with her. 

Try to build a list that tells a story. Each song is about something or someone, so use the lyrics to paint her a picture of your relationship.

You can use online platforms, such as Spotify, YouTube, or SoundCloud, to create and share your playlist. 

And if you really want some bonus points, you can also write a note explaining why you chose each song and what it means to you.

5. Watch a Movie Together

A movie night is a classic and cozy way to spend Valentine’s Day. You can choose a movie that you both enjoy or that you’ve been wanting to watch or something romantic to really warm the evening. 

Whatever you pick, make it special by getting treats or snacks and some drinks. Snuggle and spend the time building those intimate bonds. 

Spending a few hours cuddling and watching a movie can be a much deeper thing for your relationship than just entertainment; dedicating time each week or month to be one-on-one together is one of those key habits of intimate couples and helps to keep the desire burning bright in yours.

A movie night is about more than just watching a flick; it’s about dedicating a few hours to spending quiet time together, bonding, and building your relationship.

6. Play a Game Together

A game is a fun and interactive way to have some quality time together. Be sure to choose a game that you both like or that you’ve been curious to try. 

It doesn’t really matter which game you pick, just that you want to spend quality time with her playing.

Or, if you’re feeling more frisky, you can pick a game that is suitable for Valentine’s Day, such as sexy dice games or love and romance trivia games. 

It doesn’t matter if you play it on a tablet or a tabletop, but what does matter is that you bring your attention and honestly try to have fun with her.

If you try to feign interest or act bored, she will feel like she’s boring to you or that you don’t really want to play with her.

You can also make the game more interesting by adding some stakes, such as a reward or a dare for the winner or the loser.

7. Make Her a Gift

A gift is a thoughtful and personal way to show her how much you care, and making a gift means so much more than anything you could ever buy. 

It doesn’t even matter what you make; all that matters is that she can see you have put time and effort into creating a memento of your feelings for her.

You can even make the gift using things you have at home or that you can find for free. 

Take this time as an opportunity to show off your skills and talents to create something unique and meaningful. 

For example, you can make her a collage, a painting, a drawing, a poem, a song, a video, a bracelet, a necklace, or a bookmark. You can also personalize the gift by adding her name, initials, or a message.

Love and Attention Mean More

Valentine’s Day isn’t about spending money on expensive gifts or lavish displays. And those big hug things don’t really build up your relationship anyhow. 

What does build it up are the everyday moments where you give yourself fully to her and come to her with intent and understanding.

And you can take that same approach to Valentine’s Day. Don’t worry about buying something that will wow her; instead, make the day an experience she will hold in her heart forever.
