What if I told you that you could get your girl something for Valentine’s Day that she will love and cherish and it doesn’t cost  single cent. That’s right, absolutely free.

What I’m talking about is a love letter. Straight from the heart. A handwritten love letter written by you for her that spills your heart out.

Most girls will cherish something so personal and keep it forever and would rather have something so romantic like a love letter than any material gift you buy at the store.

Then, there’s the girls who expect some gold and diamonds and won’t be happy unless big bucks are spent on them. Well, I can’t give you any advice there.

Now if you’re thinking about writing a love letter to your man, well, I don’t think like a man so I don’t know if they like this type of stuff or not.

For a guaranteed free Valentine’s Day, just boycott the holiday. I’m one of those who believe that Valentine’s Day is just a corporate holiday so that businesses can rake in the money. You can be romantic any day of the year, not just February 14th. And it feels kind of forced, like you’re expected to act all romantic that day.

I’m not doing a thing on Valentines Day besides working, so I don’t have to worry about spending a cent that day. For me, Valentine’s Day is as significant as Groundhogs Day.

But for those who want to celebrate the day of forced romance on a budget, I can just suggest writing a heartfelt love letter, ordering in your favorite food, and spending a quiet evening at home enjoying each other’s company with a massage.
