It’s astounding to realize how quickly Valentine’s Day is approaching. Despite the drastic changes in our daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, life still appears to race ahead at the same breakneck speed, even with social and travel restrictions. The current circumstances should not hinder our celebration of love. Instead, they should motivate us to appreciate our partners more than ever. Given the economic challenges that many are facing, we have compiled an assortment of delightful Valentine’s Day treats that cost less than $10 to help you mark the occasion without going over budget.
SEE’S CANDY BOX
Although I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a chocoholic, I never say no to See’s Candy. I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia for the sweets I loved growing up in California, or the unique flavor of their chocolate that I find irresistible. They offer several chocolate assortments throughout the year, meaning you can always find a selection to please any chocolate lover’s taste buds. This Valentine’s Day, they’re featuring a 6-piece assorted chocolate box for just $8. Even if there’s no store in your vicinity, you can just as easily order from their website.
GODIVA CHOCOLATE BOX
If your Valentine prefers something a bit more exotic, Godiva might be the perfect choice. With a variety of indulgent chocolate boxes, they are beloved among chocolate appreciators. But, to be mindful of the budget, they offer a specially designed Valentine’s Day treat — a 4-piece chocolate gold favor box for $9.95, and you can choose to add a red or black ribbon for a stylish touch, at no extra cost!
MASON JAR TREATS
Hershey Kisses are a well-loved and affordable chocolate treat, widely available in most major stores and online. You could fill a mason jar with these sweet delights for around $6.28 plus tax, including the cost of the jar. You could elevate the presentation by adding a rich velvet ribbon and a personalized label. This gift is not only budget-friendly but also adds a personal touch.
VALENTINE’S DAY MOVIE NIGHT PACKAGE
For a cozy night in, plan a movie night package for you and your Valentine. With countless films available on streaming services like Hulu, you can focus your spending on treats. Utilizing the mason jar again, create a hot chocolate mix filled with marshmallows and dark chocolate pieces. Add some Valentine’s themed cookies to complement the sweet drink, and voila! You have a budget-friendly, intimate movie night set up.
IN CONCLUSION
There’s no shortage of delightful treats you can enjoy this Valentine’s Day, all for under $10. It’s not about the price tag, but rather about celebrating love in a thoughtful, considerate way. Whether you opt for an indulgent chocolate box, a personalized mason jar or a cozy movie night package – it’s possible to show your love without causing a strain on the wallet.
