This year’s valentine is here, yaay! You already know Valentine’s Day is about love, and your gifts should really show it. With the recession we are experiencing now in Nigeria, you don’t have to go all out and splurge on expensive, materialistic presents. Sometimes the best and most appreciated gifts are cheap or even free — back massage, anyone?

Well, this Valentine’s Day and any other day, really, remind your significant other how much you care. By doing some of these sweet and affordable things you could still have the best valentine even on a budget.
