Want to give your partner something they will remember for years to come, without leaving you with empty pockets? These ideas can build memories that will last longer than the traditional trinkets, usually forgotten the next year. The following are five suggestions that can bring a smile to your sweetheart’s face, and allow you to buy gifts for others as well.
1. Have flowers sent to your honey, with a note wishing tidings of yearly joy. Without including this in the note, make a plan to send flowers every month. If you cannot afford to send flowers, you could always just give them flowers each month on a different date for spontaneous excitement. This will give yearlong happiness and take them by surprise.

3. Get a stash of old newspapers and magazines. Piece together a note out of the letters. You can write out some phrases that have a special meaning to the both of you, or make a humorous letter with inside jokes only the two of you will understand.
4. Take a jar, decorate the outside and put a label on it. Label the jar with a clever phrase you come up with, to hint a savings stash for you and your sweetie. Place whatever amount of money you can afford to stash, perhaps $20. Then make a promise to continue to fill the jar until there are enough funds for a romantic getaway or date night.
5. Go to Kinko’s or another printing company and get an enlarged ticket stub to an event you attended together. Frame the enlargement, and include a picture of you with your significant other.
