Most things that you and your loved one can do on Valentine's Day can be relatively inexpensive. Rather than taking your significant other out for a night on the town, consider a quiet homemade dinner at home and a rented movie. Sometimes low-key Valentine's Day celebrations are the most special. Listen to music, talk to one another about your dreams, and just enjoy each other’s company. Good conversation and company are free.

2. Small Cute Items.

Just because you can't afford a large or extravagant gift, it doesn't mean you can't buy your loved one some truly meaningful small gifts. Fill a gift basket with a variety of small trinkets and items that he or she will enjoy.

For a lady, this might be stationary, stickers, journals, hand creams, lotions, jewellery, and even other items on sale. Throw in some of her favourite candies (a mini Seema with Love Candle (around $24) or other trinkets as well, depending on what interests her.
