Cupids Valentines Picks!Love is in the air again…or not in some cases! As our pockets are even tighter this year after the Christmas and January spendings, chances of romance goes right out the window. Valentines day is no longer a day of just couples celebrating their love but more about the extravagant gifts, slop-like food at crazy packed restaurants, flowers, cheesy cards…don´t get me wrong, us women LOVE to be waited on and given gifts but lets face it, I´d rather go out on any normal weekend or have a home cooked meal without the fuss,  feel like no.1 not no. 3076 at The Ivy….no matter how posh or good the food is!

So I have listed a few ideas for you “real” romantics or singletons who want to treat themselves to an evening of passion or simply indulge at a fraction of the price of fancy fine dining or gifts.

Let´s start with Lingerie. What women doesn´t feel fantastic in sexy underwear!? Simple, but always great for your confidence levels and of course a treat for your partner. I found some nice pieces, however not a huge selection at Bon prix http://bit.ly/e78dBy that won´t break the bank. Prices from £12.90 for beautiful underwired/push up bras in seductive colours such as  Red, purples and blacks. Not to mention the ultra sexy body suits ranging from £14.90.

La Senza, of course great for all year round lingerie but they feature some gorgeous pieces for the occasion and have a huge selection whether you´re a sweet, sexy, trendy, stylish or elegant type of girl – you can shop by personality! http://bit.ly/ggn268

I personally LOVE this beautiful romantic rose print chemise and at only £20 you can´t go wrong! http://bit.ly/gltVv1 Also if you decide to get a few bits together with a friend, take advantage of FREE delivey and giftbox!

Hmm what else? Well for you poor young chaps, before bursting into panic and booking that “romantic” restaurant you were recommend by your soccer pals, how about a nice homecooked meal….well almost! :)

Surprise your ladies or gentlemen with a  Marks and Spencers “Dine for 2″ deal  for just £20 from the 10th-14th of February. Keep updated on the food and alcohol choice which is usually quite good here: http://bit.ly/hB7eO

If you want to go all out and impress your loved one, how about adding some final touches such as some red roses or a nice bottle of champagne that doesn´t break the bank. M&S rose bouquets, wine and truffle sets and bottle of champagne all from just £19.99!  See the full gift selection here : http://bit.ly/e4oV4W for more inspiration. You can also give the night a spin with their Trivia box and see how well you know your lover!

Fun cheap gift ideas I came across where of Ann Summers, renowned for its super sexy lingerie and playtoys. If you´re looking to heat it up a bit, they have a sexy fancy dress costume line which ranges from only £9. Check your fantasy here: http://bit.ly/h9gL1m
