7 pocket-friendly ways to celebrate this Valentine’s Day

February 14 turns out to be a very special day but has rather serious implications in your monthly budget. While couples are increasingly raving about how to celebrate this special day with their soul mates there are rising concerns about the inflating prices.  The inflation is very steep, as steep as Elon Musk’s space shuttle trajectory. History says that every year after the V day a person’s credit card gets one or two-micrometer thinner.

However, prices should not be a hindrance for you to embrace this occasion. So, to help you out I list down 7 simple ways on how you can have Kushi Kushi this V day without blowing a hole in your wallet.

1. Wake them up with a surprise

Waking them up with their favourite breakfast will get you a good start to the day. Especially if you have cooked it yourself or pretend to have done the same with expert tenacity it surely does provoke the perfect start for the day. If you are a person who is known to stay away from the kitchen all your life you will get some bonus.

ESTIMATED COST LESS THAN 150 INR

2. The Long holding walk

This long walk has been known to increase the chemistry between couples for quite a long time now. Though it has some double standards for putting the relationship down, a well-prepared note on what are the things you can talk and what are those you shouldn’t, will help you start and end the long walk as a couple. For example, never ever tell him/her how this walk reminds you of your ex! Period.

ESTIMATED COST ZERO!

3. Sticky notes to stick with

This thing never fails. A handwritten letter, sneaking in small notes about your first meeting, date and blabla blaaa keeps the spirit high all day around. All you need is a paper and a pen. This is a special idea and you have my permission to use the same when you forget your friend’s birthday but still, you wanna make up for it. Conduct a treasure hunt asking questions and the answers will lead to clues.

ESTIMATED COST LESS THAN 50 INR

4. The Hanging Moments

Perhaps the costliest idea in the lot. Take small portrait printouts of your soul mate and decorate the bedroom hanging them. Ensure you get good quality pictures. If the pictures are from Instagram DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTERS APPLIED. Remove it and chances are they themselves might not recognize it. If you are good in Photoshop you have the God’s backing.

ESTIMATED COST LESS THAN 200 INR

5. Use the Technology

When was the last time you send him/her a video showing your love? It does not matter if you are in a  relationship for so little like one day or so long like 3 months (ain’t 3 months long enough?) it is important you prove your LOVE periodically. Embrace Ambani ji’s support and use that 4G network for once in a good way. Stop gazing on Priya Varrier and start shooting yourself telling an epic poem or kindling creativity. TO make the video less obnoxious, ask a friend to shoot it with primary camera and maintain adequate distance between your face and the camera.

ESTIMATED COST SUBSIDISED BY YOUR CURRENT DATA PLAN

6.  The Dinner Date

This part of the day is very crucial to fulfil any upcoming expectations you have in your mind. Spoil this and you spoil the entire night. Decorate the house with candles and play light music. Unless you are a descendant of Gordon Ramsey do not take your chances with it. You have Uber eats, you have swiggy. Order it Serve it! If you are good in music let your karaoke do the welcome for the table.

7. Not so soon

The final act before you get to bed (Disclaimer: for sleeping I mean EOD and I guarantee nothing else here), is to finish the perfect day with a perfect Scary movie. Home alone, popcorn puffed on a lousy couch is an impeccable situation for a scary movie together. Play safe guys.

ESTIMATED COST TORRENT + 80 INR

Now, I hope these seven ways will help you to finish your Valentine’s Day more memorable than anything else. EOD it is all about sending that quality time together rather can showering costly gifts. Secondly, the latter also works well if it is a PlayStation and if he is a guy then it works magic.
