Just
about everyone agrees that a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine at
a quiet, intimate restaurant will set the mood for romance, but have
you seen the price tag? Not everyone can afford to spend big money on
romance ever time, but a bit of creativity can get the same results
without breaking the bank.
While
most people know about ‘his and hers’ items like bathrobes and
towels, there are a number of other items that can be enjoyed
together as ‘couples’ items. Try getting matching T-shirts with
cute sayings on them. Have matching his and hers overnight bags,
coffee mugs, bicycles, cell phones, cars, holiday ornaments, tennis
rackets, rocking chairs and even matching carved pumpkins on
Halloween.
Surprise
your partner by making the ordinary a little more special. If he or
she is enjoying a good book, remove the bookmark and replace it with
a note that says, “I bet you’ll never guess where I’ve hidden
your bookmark.” If they always turn the TV on when they come home
from work, tape a note on the television that says, “Wouldn’t you
rather turn me on?” instead.
Making
important memories is one way to be romantic on a budget. Challenge
your partner to remember the most romantic kiss that you’ve seen in
a movie. This will lead to some discussion about romantic kisses and
should enhance the mood. As a surprise, buy that movie one day and
try to recreate that special romantic kiss! Keep it in a special
place and re-watch it whenever the mood strikes. If you can’t agree
on the single most romantic kiss, go ahead and create a top five
list. This tip works for anything. The top five most romantic songs.
The top five most romantic movies. The top five most romantic books.
You see the pattern. Make sure to go ahead and buy the books, songs,
movies or whatever so you can use them in the future.
If
you want to plan the ultimate romantic evening but funds are low or
you simply don’t want to have to leave the house, shut down the
electricity and imitate a power outage (it’s up to you whether or
not you tell him or her!). You won’t have any distractions or
heat, so it is up to both of you to keep the other warm and entertain
each other.
It’s
hard to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy an Oreo cookie. Take an Oreo
(or generic version of one), scratch the top of the cookie until
smooth and then scratch a heart and your initials into the smooth
surface. You can also make your own cookies and create personal
messages. Another version is to make your own cupcakes and frost
them with special messages in red icing. You can also give your
spouse a true treat and track down a box of his or her favorite Girl
Scout cookie.
These
5 simple ideas are sure to warm up any relationship. Don’t be
afraid to try simple tips and changes to “routines” to spice
things up without having it cost a fortune!
