Let’s face it — Valentine’s Day can get expensive. Purchasing flowers, candy, and dinner at one of the fanciest restaurants in Lexington Park can add up. You want to show your wife or girlfriend how much you care without emptying out your bank account.

Here are few romantic ideas that will save you money and say “I adore you” to that special person in your life.

1. Dinner at Home – Having dinner at your apartment can be incredibly romantic. All you have to do is set the mood with the right music, dim lights and candles, and of course a scrumptious meal.
2. Apartment Scavenger Hunt – Instead of exchanging gifts send her on a scavenger hunt through your apartment. Fill your master bedroom with balloons that contain romantic messages and clues to her hidden gift. Sprinkle rose petals in your garden style soaking tub and write clue #2 on one of the rose petals, and so on. There are so many places you can hide a gift in your luxury apartment from the oversized closets to the additional storage space…just get creative.
3. Romantic Displays… of Affection – Get flirty in the living room. Create a romantic display on your coffee table. Sprinkle paper hearts that you cut out earlier that day on the coffee table. On the table have a bottle of wine chilling in a wine bucket and chocolate covered strawberries sitting on a tray. The two of you can enjoy nibbling on the sweet dessert and feeding each other.
