DIY Your Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is nearly here, and whilst we are now able to go back to the usual celebrations, there are loads of different ways you can treat your loved one this Valentine’s Day without breaking the bank. With the pressure of making Valentine’s Day the most romantic and extra special day of the year, many feel the need to make big purchases. However, the best Valentine’s gift is time spent together.

At Everyday Loans, we have come up with some DIY ideas for this Valentine’s Day to stay at home and avoid spending big.

Dine at home

Just because you are staying in, doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with a surprise meal. There’s a lot of three course meals available in local supermarkets, or if you are feeling confident, you can have a go yourself? And why not make a special home-cooked meal with each other? This can create a memorable dinner you'll both enjoy.

Bake a cake

A homemade cake is a great way to show someone just how much you love them. The ultimate representation of love is sharing your sweet treats, so why not rustle up something delicious for your loved one.

Make a scrapbook

Making a scrapbook for your Valentine is an easy way to put all of your memories into one place. If you don't feel confident with your crafting skills, there are a lot of businesses out there that will take the time to design and sort your pictures digitally for a small fee - well worth it.

You could even include meaningful tickets or receipts to make the book even more unique and have fun with the captions.

Create a playlist

If you both love music, why not spend some time putting together playlists for each other? Choosing songs that mean something to you both, it's a great way to reminisce about those special moments.

Valentine’s Day is all about spending time together, so prioritise shared activities and experiences rather than spending money on expensive things that are often quickly replaced.
