He found me an awesome bread machine last time and in turn, I made him an awesome loaf of bread :) Something my husband and I have done for a cheap, fun date is to go thrift store shopping with a set amount of money.

Then we pick out funny and romantic ones and exchange them right there. We end up laughing our heads off (or sometimes blushing - read with care!) and not spending a dime. It's entirely possible to share the sentiments of a card without spending the money. (Our apologies to the greeting card industry...)

We don't often even get gifts for each other - we try to have a nice meal together - sometimes homecooked, sometimes out. My husband finds me amazing cards every year, but I usually make him a card or write a letter...it is much better than the dorky cards for husbands out there! These are great ideas!

I'm blessed with some very affordable restaurants here in Cairo but back home I would have definitely opted for home cooking. As for gifts we don't intend on doing those but.... as you mention Chocolate is a MUST... I made a couple of free valentine cards to print out if people are not too good at making their own... http://frugalzeitgeist.com/free-printable-valentine-cards/ Great stuff here.
