Okay, I’ve got just a few more days to work up some romance magic for Valentine’s Day. The thing is, I’ve been thinking about it for the past month, and nothing seems to be working for me. Every idea I have is either waaaaaay out of budget, or just won’t say what I want to say.
So, what is a tech-saavy husband to do? Google it. I just search “low budget Valentine’s Day” and you wouldn’t believe the pile of pathetic crap I got. This article — I could have written it myself. Scavenger Hunt anyone? This one isn’t too bad, but it seems a little “chintzy” to me.
Really, I just don’t see how you can say “I Love You” effectively without spending lots of cash…and attention. I think it takes both. Money is one of those things that really is a clue to what you deeply care about. Look at your bank statement, and you’ll see what you prioritize and think is most important. So, why do we think that at a holiday of love that you can express love effectively without spending much money?
I’m not planning on spending outside my budget, but I’m definitely going to be dropping some “Hamiltons.”
Anybody got any good ideas for Valentine’s Day?
