Help with Valentines bits and pieces

Peter_Simon

Hi,

My wife and I have agreed to make Valentines day a low cost event this year, but I still want to get her something cute/flirty. The thing is if I spend anything more than a few quid she will probably feel I went back on our deal. Does anybody now of places where one can get - for want of a better word - cheap gifts like this? Preferably online as I work most days and find it tough to get out shopping on the weekend as I am looking after the kids, whilst my wife works.

Any help from ladies on the forums on what kind of inexpensive gift they would like/expect to receive would be great!!

poundland and the 99p store have some silly/flirty gifts at the moment-everything from fluffy handcuffs and sexy dress-up outfits to heart shaped frying pans and teddy bears.
They aren't exactly brilliant gifts but are cute and fun and would literally cost £1...


My partner is away on a world tour (working..) at the moment the best gift he could give me would be either a flight to see him in New Zealand (not holding my breath on that!) or, if he were here, I'd LOVE for him to pick up an m&s dine for £10 meal and a bottle of their cava.
One year he got me a message in a bottle- he wrote a poem and it comes delivered in a fancy bottle in a gorgeous box. He used a lovely American company but could have made it himself for much cheaper.

Make her breakfast in bed(free)with a bunch of Aldi tulips £1.25 on the tray.Go for a nice long walk in the countryside with the children(free).When you get home run her a nice hot bath(free) pour her a glass of cava (from above post) and let her have a soak whilst you cook dinner.Pack the kids of to bed.
Total cost of day £11.25 and it'll be one she remembers cos us women like the thought that goes into these things!!
(hope my OH reads this lol)

There's a thread on here about De Vere hotel nights for £19! That would be the flirtiest gift i can think of!
