I always give my loved one a "paid bill" for the love of the relationship, money problems create the decline in a realationship. Being safe, secure, and sexy in our home is wonderful.
We decide ahead of time on a menu for the event. We do the shopping together, the cooking together and then enjoy our meal together. We follow up with a games night for two like we did years ago while dating. Cribbage anyone?
You have a valid point, but the writer of this article is just evaluating these sites, and like she has continuously said, these sites are not necessarily for professional writers -- every one has the right to express themselves, why not make some money, too.
I, however, have a suggestion for you... why, instead of "just" (and I didn't say "not") criticizing the writer's ideas, you don't mention suggestions of sites that are in fact good for professional writers. You seem to be informed about the process. And I'm saying this because by just criticizing you don't accomplish anything positive. And if you are a writer, and perhaps professional at that, your aim should be to build up -- not tear down.
Make family favorites for dinner, eat by candlelight. Use butcher paper to cover the table and let the kid draw Valentines on it. Have a heart shaped cake.
The kids look forward to Valentines every year and have fun inviting other family members over for dinner.
On Valentine's Day, we go for a nice long walk on the beach by our home, come home to a candlelight dinner cooked by both of us, and sit by the fire watching a good movie.
Our family celebrates Valentine's Day with a family dinner (no TV, favorite meals, candles on the table) and home made cards with hand written poems. Kiddo's school had the students write poems to each other so we have continued the tradition at home. Hubby might stop at the store to get a bundle of flowers, but not roses, whatever is cheapest!
Make a heart cake. Make one 8" square layer, and one round layer. Cut the round layer in half, and put the two semi-circles against two straight sides of the square. Voila! Frost it pink and there you go!
I buy my candy for VD at the after Christmas sales. This year I got some great Choxie candy at Target for 75% off. Since it isn't in holiday wrapping, my kids will never know ;)
frugal?... let's think value... nothing will be more valuable than a personal connection with your v-day target. write/make/draw/perform somenthing that comes from the heart
I wish they would quit using bubble wrap. If you happen to live at a high altitude, the air in the bubble wrap expands and makes the box break open before it gets to you.
"Frugal" isn't a word I'd use in connection with Valentines Day... It isn't about saving money, because it isn't about "what" you can do for the person you love... It's about your willingness to do what you can, in whatever ways you can, to show the person you're with that you love them. :)
I will fix a nice dinner for my wife. Pasta, a little seafood, creme brulee for dessert. We have a fireplace. Her mother will take the kids for us. So we can spend the evening alone. Just us. Quiet. Holding hands.
Ok, its tax time, when everyone was getting their check, I never received mine, I inquired with what information I could gather up, but I never got a answer! Dateline came and gone, I was helpless on the matter, every asked question about who to turn to if one did not receive a check came to a dead end. Now my question is this, will I have to file that I never received a check, if someone out there took mine and cashed it, wouldn't the government know this? Where exactly do I stand?
After almost 20 years of marriage there is not a shred of romance left. That sure helps saving money when you can ignore the day altogether.

Celebreate the day before or after if you plan to eat out. If you don't like that idea- have a romatic dinner at home.
alway love the wife on Valentines day or not
cook for each other and then spend the rest of day in bed!
We do pink heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.
Make the lunch sandwiches shaped like a heart.

A nice candlelight dinner at home with a spectacular dessert.
it's far cheaper to buy flowers than not....trust me on this!!!

We have not made plans yet this year for Valentine's Day but we will probably eat out on that day at a less expensive restaurant.
We always eat at home and I make a Valentines theme dessert, we only exchange small gifts, like a chocolate heart.
I like to make a nice dinner at home and make my girlfriend a mix CD that goes with the evening. A body massage is also part of the deal.

Great giveaway!
We have a GC for a local restaurant. Xmas leftover.
My wife and I will re-create our first VD. We exchanged a box of 25 cents messsage candies.
I will fix a nice dinner for my wife. Pasta, a little seafood, creme brulee for dessert. We have a fireplace. Her mother will take the kids for us. So we can spend the evening alone. Just us. Quiet. Holding hands.
we will be enjoying each others company all day and more importantly all night.
