hello! im a stay at home mom, and so therefor dont have any of my own money.. well i “do”, but he makes it and shares it. my problem is two things, we just had a baby two months ago and his paid leave got messed up so moneys tight, and as a serial gift giver to people i feel like they aren’t valuable as they would be if i was spending my own money. regardless, idk if ill have anything to do or get him for valentines and its our first one together. does anyone have any ideas for their spouse that are cheap or free that can make the day special?

As a guy i really don’t even want gifts. Put on your guys favorite outfit you wear. make a good meal and share a bottle of wine. Way better then anything you can buy. Plus if money is tight it would be a relief to him to not have to spend a lot of money at a restaurant.
From the perspective of most Husband’s we don’t care about the cost of the gift. Anything that shows your appreciation, thankfulness, and acknowledgment of what we do means a lot. So literally if you bought him a card put a sincere message of his importance to you, got him his favorite candy bar, then drug him into the bedroom and spoiled him, you’d hit a grand slam out of the park.
It’s Valentines Day. Show him how much you love and appreciate him. Gifts come and go, but memories last a lifetime.
Give him a wonderful memory!
Make him a great meal, write him a sweet sexy Valentine, slip a note into his lunch telling him how much you love him and want to spoil him in bed for the evening, put little notes all over the house/his car letting him know all the things you love about him. Doesn’t cost a thing, other than time and effort.
Make him his favorite meal and a nice dessert or something! I’m also a stay at home wife, soon to be mom, and I don’t normally buy my husband gifts but I love to make him homemade meals and do
little things for him. He always really appreciates it.
Another guy here and I don’t think v-day is a gifting event like Christmas or a birthday. A greeting card is plenty; most guys probably prefer a funny or sexy one over the fancy romantic ones; or if it’s homemade, that’s a-OK and special too. A simple single chocolate is nice. A slightly special meal is nice.
Make me a meal and make love to me. That’s it. That’s all I want.
You don’t have to give a gift from the store. You can make a homemade treat (my go-tos are oreo fudge and gingersnap cookies, both sooo delicious and very easy to make). You can make cute little coupons for things he’ll enjoy (for example, backrub, steak dinner, and/or some friskier things 😈). If all else fails, I’m sure a good old-fashioned blowjob would do the trick.
If you’re hellbent on buying a gift, check out etsy. There are sooo many inexpensive customizable items that would mean so much more than overpriced garbage from the mall. Some examples I’ve actually bought as gifts: paper diorama of Legend of Zelda scene, woodcut map from a book series hubby likes, simple feaux-leather bracelet with our daughter’s name and birthdate. All were right at or under $50, and there are much cheaper gifts available.
I totally understand the struggle of finding the perfect gift for someone special. I think a personalized poem could be a really unique and thoughtful option. It’s not just about giving something material, but about giving something that truly captures the essence of the person and the feelings you want to express. I’ve personally used a poetry service before and it was one of the most special gifts I’ve ever given. If you’re looking for something truly one of a kind and heartfelt, it might be worth considering a personalized poem. You can do this on your own if you are good with poetries or there is also a company called HeartbeatsinVerse.com that specialize in this
