Writing a letter to your valentine is a nice personal touch.

Are you worrying about how you can make this Valentine's Day super special? Whether you are in a relationship, married or maybe just want to catch the eye of that person you like, you can creatively make them feel special without going way over school budget. Sometimes all it takes is a thoughtful idea so that certain person knows you tried hard to make them feel great.

Deal Out Sweet Thoughts
Use a deck of cards to create “52 Reasons Why You're My Valentine.” Grab a deck of cards from the dollar store, then stop by the Fanshawe book store and buy some colourful markers and decorate each card. Write a reason of why this person is your perfect valentine on each card. Your honey's bound to be left with a smile.

Put Pen To Paper
Write a letter to your valentine; all you need is something to write with, something to write on, and a person to write about. Highlight all the great things about this person, tell him why he's beyond compare and what he means to you. This special thought fits in to every college student's budget, because it can be completely free! You probably already have the supplies, so start writing. This will leave your valentine feeling like one of a kind.

Tricked Out Treats
Take her favourite foods and add a twist. Create tabs with a short slogan and add them onto things your valentine loves! Buy a pack of gum and simply tie a small piece of paper that says, “I wouldn't chews anyone but you!” to it, or onto anything banana flavoured write, “I'm bananas for you!” These silly phrases are easy to make, and can be added to practically anything that your significant other uses, eats or likes! This type of gift is fun for you and your valentine, it's affordable and it will definitely spark some laughter during your special day together.

Think Savoury AND Sweet
But maybe those gifts are too gushy for you and your valentine, so think outside the box and give a thoughtful yet funny gift: Bacon Roses. Surprise your significant other with a bouquet of the best smelling roses you can make in your own kitchen. This gift is low priced, edible, and hilarious. All you need to do is buy a fake bouquet of flowers from the dollar store, cut the flowers off the end, cook some bacon and wrap the bacon around the stems, in the form of a rose. Your sweetie will be surprised with your unique gift this Valentine's, and love the humour you put into it!

Whichever you chose to do this Valentine's Day, it doesn't take expensive dinners, huge bouquets of flowers, or presents that will cut into next month's rent or even next year's tuition. You can whip up something thoughtful and different this Valentine's Day that will leave some extra money in your wallet, and make your special someone feeling absolutely amazing.
