Valentine’s Day is round the corner and we are sure that some of you
are feeling the pinch of being broke and obviously worried about
impressing your Valentine. Don’t worry, if your heart is full but the wallet empty, you could do with these little tips from Image Parivartan on impressing big time without spending a lot.
For a change, skip the coffee shop or the costly romantic dinner, pick out a exclusive recipe and cook a great meal for him or her. Never mind the perfection of the food, taste or the fancy garnishing; the time and effort you spent will certainly score more than any money or gold in the world. Oh, yeah, don’t forget to set a romantic environ with a dim lighted room, aroma candles and make him or her special at the dinner.
Prices of Roses and bouquets zoom up during V-Day. Why not skip that and pick up a few flowers from a garden nearby, beg or steal if needed– yeah, all is fair in love: P Bunch up those flowers in a wrapping/gilt paper and bow, get a friend’s help if you are not good at those fancy touches.
Do we really bother about the greeting cards’ monetary value? Be it a Rs.30/- or a Rs.300/-greeting card as long as it holds the perfect words? How about creating a perfect customized card? I remember taking the screenshots of comments on Orkut from friends on a photo with my fiancĂ© and getting it printed, rolled up and wrapped up in a ribbon, it impressed her in a big way.
You can easily get colour laser prints in A3 size in speciality paper for Rs.30/- Onwards. You just need a little bit of Photoshop skills or take help from a friend to design that special card or collage with those memorable photos.
Take a leave, get out of work early, skip that party with friends and other engagements and let your Valentine know that the day/evening is all about them. Spend time with them, be it watching a romantic movie at home or doing an activity together. O yeah, don’t forget to turn off the cell phone for the evening.
Valentine’s Day is not all about expensive gifts and chocolates as the commercials depict it to be. Customize your Valentine your way! We assure you that your creativity and simplicity will create a bigger impact than any costly gifts or fancy dinner does.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
