5 Ways To Keep Romance Alive - On A Budget by Jeff Rose
Just
about everyone agrees that a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine at a
quiet, intimate restaurant will set the mood for romance, but have you
seen the price tag? Not everyone can afford to spend big money on
romance ever time, but a bit of creativity can get the same results
without breaking the bank.
While most people know about ‘his and hers' items like bathrobes and
towels, there are a number of other items that can be enjoyed together
as ‘couples' items. Try getting matching T-shirts with cute sayings on
them. Have matching his and hers overnight bags, coffee mugs, bicycles,
cell phones, cars, holiday ornaments, tennis rackets, rocking chairs
and even matching carved pumpkins on Halloween.
Surprise your partner by making the ordinary a little more special. If
he or she is enjoying a good book, remove the bookmark and replace it
with a note that says, "I bet you'll never guess where I've hidden your
bookmark." If they always turn the TV on when they come home from work,
tape a note on the television that says, "Wouldn't you rather turn me
on?" instead.
Making important memories is one way to be romantic on a budget.
Challenge your partner to remember the most romantic kiss that you've
seen in a movie. This will lead to some discussion about romantic
kisses and should enhance the mood. As a surprise, buy that movie one
day and try to recreate that special romantic kiss! Keep it in a
special place and re-watch it whenever the mood strikes. If you can't
agree on the single most romantic kiss, go ahead and create a top five
list. This tip works for anything. The top five most romantic songs.
The top five most romantic movies. The top five most romantic books.
You see the pattern. Make sure to go ahead and buy the books, songs,
movies or whatever so you can use them in the future.
If you want to plan the ultimate romantic evening but funds are
low or you simply don't want to have to leave the house, shut down the
electricity and imitate a power outage (it's up to you whether or not
you tell him or her!). You won't have any distractions or heat, so it
is up to both of you to keep the other warm and entertain each other.
It's hard to find anyone who doesn't enjoy an Oreo cookie. Take an Oreo
(or generic version of one), scratch the top of the cookie until smooth
and then scratch a heart and your initials into the smooth surface. You
can also make your own cookies and create personal messages. Another
version is to make your own cupcakes and frost them with special
messages in red icing. You can also give your spouse a true treat and
track down a box of his or her favorite Girl Scout cookie.
These 5 simple ideas are sure to warm up any relationship. Don't be
afraid to try simple tips and changes to "routines" to spice things up
without having it cost a fortune!
