Valentine’s Day is well underway and many romantics are scrambling around trying to get the perfect plans in place for themselves and their loved ones. While once upon a time, we could afford to splurge on the day of love, things just aren’t the same anymore. That is why we’ve compiled a list of things you can buy for your lover to prove to them that they mean the world to you!

Take a look at our Valentine’s Day gift picks all for R200 or less!

Valentine’s Day necklace

Ladies – and men love a good chain or necklace. This is because wearing it is the perfect reminder of the person who bought it for you.

One can find a cute necklace at Game, Makro, fashion outlets such as Truworths and Woolworths that only cost around R200 or under and last for quite some time if well-look after.

Personalised gift box

These are perfect for anybody and can be found just about anywhere. The best thing is, you can make them yourself at home.

Just pop some of your special person’s favourite things inside a box and there you have it! Alternatively, online stores such as Takealot and Netflorist sell them for low prices and can have them delivered straight to your door!

Photo frames

While this is a bit of an oldie, it’s still a goldie. Put a snap of you and your bae inside a beautiful photo frame and add a special message just to add a little personal touch and voila! You have the perfect gift.

Love vouchers

This may just be the cheapest of the ideas and definitely a favourite. If you’re just like any normal couple who have gotten so used to one another that you argue about who should do the dishes or whose turn it is to give a back rub, then this is for you.

Write down a number of vouchers that your partner can use to get you to do something – free of charge or guilt trips. For example, one gift voucher can read: “Free 30 minute foot massage” or “One day off from cleaning duties.”

Romantic picnic

Not everyone loves a gift and rather prefers to experience a bit of romance. This is why a cute little picnic may just make the perfect gift idea.

Get a few snacks, put together a cute cheese sandwich and buy a nice bottle of alcoholic or non-alcoholic bubbly. Grab a blanket from inside as well as a candle or two and there you have it, a thoughtful surprise for your loved one!

And it definitely won’t cost an arm and a leg!
