10 More Ways to Woo! On budget, even. (imagine that)
One day until you know what! You all prepared & ready to go? Yes? No? Maybe? Like questions? Think I can stop asking them now? ha ha...okay, i'll stop. (Boy this coffee is hitting me in all the right places)Getting back to the task at hand, your boy J. Money's got a few last-minute tricks up his sleeves. I posted 10 cheap ways to woo a few month back, but w/ Valentine's day coming up and all, thought it was worth expanding a bit - esp. since i *know* we've got a bunch of slackers out there. Myself included ;)
Luckily, the Mrs. and I decided to forego the presents this year, and instead we'll be cooking a nice dinner together. And I'm hopin' a little dessert too if ya know what i'm sayin'! Aww yeahhh....perhaps a "10 cheap tricks in the bedroom" should follow? Oooh, I may be on to something here! Crap, off track yet again...STAY. FOCUSED. (oye)
Okay, 10 More Ways to Woo on Budget:
- Set up camp in your living room! This is one of my favorite ideas cuz you get the best of both worlds :) Pop up a tent, gather a few sleeping bags and blankets, and enjoy some peace and quiet in the comfort of your own home. Could probably even do s'mores depending on your stove.
- Make her/him a mixed CD! Man, this just brought back crazy memories from high school! haha...but seriously, who DOESN'T like music? And you don't necessarily have to go w/ only romantic songs or anything either - you could hook it up with those that remind you of each other, or simply just your favorites.
- Pick up a bag of hershey kisses & get creative. Replace the white taggy looking things w/ your own words! It might take a bit of time, but it only costs about $6 and you'll score mad points.
- Place Post-It notes all over the place! Write some lovely memos, and plop them bad boys throughout your home - on doors, closets, mirrors, cabits, tv's, you name it. I did this randomly once for Mrs. Budgetsaresexy and she loved it :) Of course, it may have been the beer i bought her too...
- Create a scavenger hunt! Yup, draw up a map and have your man/woman searching around the house for hidden goodies. And make them worthwhile too ;)
- Cook dinner WITH each other. Find a good recipe, go shopping together, and spend some good quality time together. Shoot, even whip out the fancy silverware and never-opened candles! Anyone can pay for a fancy dinner, but hookin' it up yourselves makes it much more special.
- Bring her/him a Vase with a single Tuplip in it. Attach a card that says something like, "I've got two lips to share with ya!". haha...only worth a shot if your relationship flourishes on the cheezy factor.
- Hook it up with a cheap chocolate fondu set. They sell them pretty cheap at Target or Wallmart (like around $10), and you it's super easy to use. Melt some chocolate and share some nice strawberries & other nice treats together :)
- Get some pix together and create a simple calendar. Kinko's is crazy fast at this, and all it takes is finding pictures of your "favorite moments" together. It'll probably remind you of when you used to do this for your mom, but it's still works like a charm :)
- Check out a drive-through theater! I know they're slowly fading, but I highly recommend seeing if there's one in your area cuz they're romantic as hell. And I bet they have some pretty cool specials on V-Day too while playing the best of the lover movies.

Those are great ideas! the Boyfriend and I decided that we were going to take each other out to dinner - ethiopian food. Then back home for some cuddling and movie watching and maybe some foot rubbing. Simple and cheap night... and romantic to boot! But I did buy him a new baseball hat and he did get me a pair of shoes, so maybe we went a little overboard. HAHA.
I love the Hershey's Kisses idea! I think I'm gonna do that one!
HA! My bf made us set up the tent in my (tiny) living room when we first got it. It made moving to the bed in the morning much easier! I thought we were the only dorks that would do something like that
I've always wanted someone to create a scavenger hunt for me!!
I did that post-it-notes-all-over-the-place thing last year. There must've been 200 of 'em. She still has them. Some of the notes were sweet and general, some of them specific loving remarks, some of them silly, some of them quite 'adult'.
Valentines day really is when it's the thought that matters. It doesn't matter if what you do is cheezy... you spent time thinking about it and that makes it romantic.
I would love it if my husband did ANY of the things listed, even if the results were corny.
Glad you all approve! Perhaps you should "accidently" email the link out to your other half and see if they get the point ;) Be like, "Oh man, sorry about that I totally meant to send it over to a PF buddy!" haha...
although us boys aren't as dumb as we tend to look at times :)
Great tips. You could also write her a love letter - they are treasured even if they are cheesy.
Haha - nice. I love stuff like this. Good list!
LOL...is it just me or is J. Money dropping the coital vibe through that whole post! Hehehe. No matter, I liked all the ideas and I don't even like Valentine's Day. I think these wooing techniques would be great ANY time of the year...not just on a national holiday that dupes consumers into spending money...ahem. Sorry.
I have to give you props, J. I really like that Hershey's kisses idea! I am so going to give that one a whirl!
Hope you guys all had a wonderful V-day.
Yeah, i actually stole that Hershey's one from a radio station that day ;) But you're right in all the rest - I'm all about relating to the bumpity bump, and any of these love tricks would be great any other day of the week!
