Unusual Valentines Day Gifts
It’s going to be Valentines Days soon and I was looking for unique, unusual Valentines day gifts that don’t cost the earth. I have done many posts about valentines day in the years past, About My Plans for Valentines Day, about DVD Gifts for Valentines Day, about Fine Wines for Valentines Day, about some of the usual (and cheesy I admit it) Valentines Day Gifts, and I even did a post about some Free Valentines Day Gifts which can be put together with little or no monetary cost but which will fetch you lots of brownie points for time and effort invested.
Now one idea that I had was these Flying lanterns which I can launch for Valentines day. These symbolize knowledge and wisdom and are traditionally used by the Chinese to celebrate their new year; but who’s to say I cannot use them for Valentines Day! They fly up into the air and last about 20 minutes traveling several miles and then the flame blows out and they descend to the ground; quite safe. So perhaps I could write something meaningful on each of them and l could launch several! They cost less than five dollars each.
Also I am thinking really practical and non romantic gifts: slippers and a hot water bottle (if you set your mind to it, you can find a lot of interesting things to do with those as well). Now my significant other hates to wear his cold slippers early in the morning so I thought to myself how about some microwaveable slippers to warm his toes! (this one’s for me too; I hate to feel those icy toes). I found these microwave foot warmers on Amazon for as little as $8.99!
I know this hot water bottle is supposed to be for kids, but this is just the sort of thing he will find hilarious, so I thought to myself why not, at $10.95; I probably will go for it!
And my last thought was I will take him book shopping; an actual excursion into a bricks and mortar store where we can browse properly in an attempt to increase the sum of our wisdom! So here’s wishing all of you a Happy Valentines Day with all of your loved ones; have a great one!
Great Valentines Day article! These gifts are really cool. I love your site, definitely gonna send my friends and bookmark

I think the Flying lanterns are a Thai tradition…. we were lighting them up in my cousin’s wedding in Phuket recently, quite romantic indeed!
