The Best Cheap Valentine's Day Gifts for Men

You don't have to spend a lot of money to please the man you love on Valentine's day. Here are a few great ideas.

Cheap Valentine's Day Gift for Men: You

After all, that's what your man wants most of all for Valentine's Day. So dress up in your sexiest negligee, then strip it off and dip into a nice hot scented bubble bath with him. Make sure you have candles, glasses of wine, and make sure the kids are either well occupied, with a sitter or in bed before you begin. Sensual mutual massage is also nice, so get a hold of some massage oil infused with essential oils. Finish your bathing experience with some soft, romantic music. You'll be very relaxed when you retreat to the bedroom for your romantic interlude.

Cheap Valentine's Day Gift for Men: Cook Him Dinner

This is a great all-purpose cheap Valentine's Day that is good for the whole family. Whether you're cooking for just your boyfriend and yourself, or you've got a husband and ten hungry children to feed, a special Valentine's Day dinner fits the bill. Focus on heart-shaped dishes. For example, you could create heart-shaped vegetables and fruits, and served heart-shaped cookies or a heart-shaped cake for dessert. After all, you know what they say: the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

It's a day he ordinarily would have gone to work, so it was a treat to have him home. I couldn't get to the store because of the rough road conditions, so I decided to prepare a special meal for him and our two sons with what I had on hand. Fortunately, I had the makings of pancakes and a whole box of strawberries. I cut the top of the strawberries so that when I sliced them, they looked like little hearts. I served these to my guys with powdered sugar, and it made a huge hit. Breakfast in bed is a huge favorite with guys, as well.

Cheap Valentine's Day Gift for Men: Visit Him at Work

Meet your guy at work for lunch, an afternoon of fun and togetherness, or meet him after work for a cocktail and dinner. Guys love it when they get a visit from their sweetie at work; it brightens their day. My husband and I have been married for thirteen years, and he still brightens up when I arrive at his office.
