Gift Suggest

I’ve never been married and frankly I’m still in the ‘Marriage is the end of all freedom’ phase. I only finished college two years ago so it isn’t like I have to worry about ending up old and alone. I enjoyed dating in college so much. I guess there is just a little sort of something special in getting away with a romantic valentines dinner on a frugal budget.

My boyfriend and I often pooled our funds together so we could have one really great valentines day gift for the both of us instead of an ordinary valentines dinner because the roses that he bought for me cost way too much. There was this one time when he found a pizza place that was making heart shaped valentines pizzas and he had one made for both of us. He brought it up to our dorm and we ate in little pink colored kiddy plates. He decorated his room with Christmas lights and heart shaped valentines balloons.

Two years post college and we’re still together but focusing on our careers. That doesn’t stop us from celebrating Valentines Day together. The more fun part is that we’re not on a frugal budget anymore and I can go valentines shopping for real and buy a romantic gift for my boyfriend. My boyfriend still surprises me with great stuff, like last year he bought a box of chocolate covered fruit. He knows how much I like fresh fruit so he wowed me with fruit for Valentines Day. The fruit was so yummy, there were apples and chocolate covered strawberries and nuts and coconut and a little note in it asking me if I’d be his valentine. It was absolutely adorable and romantic. I loved the chocolate strawberries.
