My hb amd I have done the in home dates. Its very inexpensive especially if you have kids. What we do is after the kids go to bed. We take out a very special dessert that I make ahead of time and we light candles. I open some wine and we cuddle on the floor with blankets and pillows watching a “chick flick” has hb will say on netflix live. Costs maybe $10 depending on the wine on sale and kind of dessert I make.

Wonderful article. What’s “expected” or “traditional” (ie. roses, chocolates and a fancy dinner) is so boring to me (not to mention over the top expensive!). Thank you for such great ideas of romance that are creative!

These are great ideas. You could implement these ideas anytime you want to show that someone special how much you love them, not just on Valentine’s Day.

I have made the chocolate pretzels but never thought of chocolate popcorn.

My DH is a sender of flowers. I love them, but hate to even thing about what he has paid for them. The past two years however, he has picked up the flowers at Sam’s Club and bought a really nice vase that I have kept for him to put them in. Makes me feel much better about receiving them.

One of my favorites oner the years was a note slipped between a sandwich and the container in a boxed lunch.
