Last week I got to share 15 frugal Valentine’s gifts on SpringPad. SpringPad is a cool tool that you can use to “spring” or save various ideas. Lists, events, products, even tasks can all be saved and shared.

I’m looking forward to using it more over the next few weeks, feel free to follow me at SpringPad/KellyWhalen.

I will be appearing on the 10! show this morning between 11am and noon to present some of my gift ideas to the Philadelphia area audience. (video will be posted later tomorrow)

Here are a few of the ideas I shared on Springpad.

5 frugal and fun Valentine’s gifts for everyone on your list

For the candy lover: Make your own Candy Kits, $12.99. Available in Chocolate, Chewing Gum, and Gummies. For kids aged 8 and up, or younger children with parental supervision. I want all 3!
For the champagne lover: One Fo(u)r Champagne from Nicolas Feuillatte. $9.99-12.99 in Brut or Rosé. Perfect size for you and your honey to share.
For someone who likes to sleep in: Why not surprise your sweetheart (or your kids) with heart shaped waffles for breakfast? Amazon has a huge selection of Valentine’s gifts, but I adore this Heart Waffle Iron, on sale! for $49.99.
For the anti-Valentine’s Day person: Rotem Gear offers several anti-Valentine shirts, but “Valetine, Shmalentine” is my favorite! $19- $30 depending on fit, and cut.
For the giver: Make a donation in your sweetie’s name to aid in disaster relief in Haiti, buy a bed net for a child in Africa, or donate to his/her favorite cause.
