So we've had Martin's Festive Fivers, and now it's almost that time of year to let somebody know that you like a lil bit/fancy a lot/love them :iloveyou:

But times are hard and the shops are full of overpriced goods, so it's difficult for some who are on a tight budget to buy a token for their partner. Then others may be stuck for some inspiration, and some might just be tightwads when it comes to romantic things :rotfl: :grinheart

So what are your ideas for the best, clever, weird, practical, thoughtful, or romantic Valentine's presents you can buy or make, that cost up to a fiver (excluding delivery)??

Post them here and hoepfully help someone else out :love:

PS Please just post your ideas etc, rather than discuss the pros and cons of Valentine's Day, thank you ;)

    I'm kicking off the thread with this one from Not on the High Street - for the hot stuff in your life, World's Hottest Chilli Powders! :eek::eek:

    This explosive box contains some of the hottest chilli powders ever tested, including current world champion Scorpion Moruga (2,000,000 SHU), a former world hottest Butch T (1,500,000 SHU), the legendary 7 Pot (1,300,000 SHU) , and the ten minute burner Ghost powder (1,000,000 SHU). Each one is beautifully presented in a corked glass bottle.
    The box also includes four fun chilli fact cards and a limited edition super hot collector's card. This all comes perfectly packaged in a standard sized matchbox - well you wouldn't want too much of this stuff hey!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thankfully times have changed! Just for a laugh - Ruth Smythers, beloved wife of The Reverend L. D. Smythers, wrote: While sex is at best revolting and at worse rather painful, it has to be endured... One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: give little, give seldom and, above all, give grudgingly! :rotfl::rotfl:
