Ideas needed for low cost romantic day in

Clairy

Hi Moneysavers.

A week on Saturday is our 5th wedding anniversary and I'd like to do something really special - however, we're having to be careful with money so I don't have huge bucks to spend on anything flashy.

We're both homely people who love cooking and time together, so I am really looking for some thoughtful, low cost ideas to show my husband how much I love spending time with him :rolleyes: I also need ideas for a present for him too, ideally under £20.

I've Googled and the 5th anniversary is 'wood'. I know what he'd say to that :rotfl:

I find good wood stokes the fires of passion:D Doesnt cost much either

Hmm, Last year was my 5th wedding anniversary. I googled "wooden heart dish" and found one and bought it and filled it with his favourite chocolates! He loved it. I think the dish was £15 or so but REALLY beautiful

Do you have a garden? How about planting a small tree in it as a memento (and following the wood theme)

Am not a gardener at all so it could be completely the wrong time of year to do this btw :rotfl:

Any time is ok to plant a tree that has been in a pot. Just make sure it is supported well and you have prepped the ground thoroughly. Maybe something productive to be even more moneysaving... a fruit tree or nut tree, perhaps?

Great idea, amanda!

You sound like us! How about buying some really good food from a farmer's market or deli, something that doesn't take much preparation but that you'll both really enjoy.

You could try M&S because they have lots of dinners for 2 inc wine for £10

This might sound really naff but how about an indoor picnic? A rug on the floor, some nice candles and nice food.
