Romantic Ideas On The cheap

Part of my boyfriends valentines present was a homemade love voucher booklet and he's now decided to cash one in

"A week of romantic suprises"

Now how can I do this without it costing me a complete bomb
Quick answers would be appreciated as today's the first day and he gets home from work in 2 hours

    Quick thoughts:

    Cook him a nice meal for when he gets home from work
    Run him a bubble bath with candles, music, glass of wine etc (maybe you could get in too to wait for him?! ;))
    Trail of notes/chocolates/flower petals from the front door to you
    Leave little notes around the house telling him how much he means to you - I did this once and hid them in really bizarre places like the fridge!
    Make a CD of his favourite songs/ones that remind you of your time together
    Put on your best dress and heels and meet him at the door with a glass of champagne (or cava)
    Breakfast in bed

    Can't think of any more right now, but good luck!
