Ballin on a Budget: Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts

valentine's day gifts

Valentine’s Day for most people is a day to show love and appreciation for your loved one. Typically, it is done through sweet words or kind gestures. The oversized teddy bear, a box of chocolates, or flowers are the mainstream gifts that people give.

But, what does something like that cost? Oversized teddy bears range from $37 to $105 on Google, while boxes of chocolates from Godiva range between $28 and $100. The National Retail Foundation informs readers that U.S. consumers are expected to spend an average $192.80 on Valentine’s Day in 2023, which is an increase from last year’s $175.41. So, what are more inexpensive options for those who want to “ball on a budget”?

A fun twist on this gift idea is that these “flowers” are not flowers at all! You can make edible “roses” from strawberries.
