It's not about the amount of money you spend, it's about whether there is thought put into the present or not. Buy a nice sloppy card and maybe a Teddy Bear holding a heart or a box of chocs. You are both still young, and maybe not working so don't beat yourself up if you can't afford a big extravagant pressie. At the end of the day it's you she loves. Good luck. x

Valentines Day is traditionally the most romantic day of the year. To be romantic you do not have to spend a lot of money. Romance is about thought, about making your partner feel special and loved. For example, I feel, and I know many other women do - a single red rose says so mcuh more than a whole bunch - anyone can be flash and buy a whole bunch.
Why not cook her a meal? Light the room with candles and have things ready for when she gets in. Or looking back at your ages - maybe you are still living at home? If so, wrap up warm and set up a starlight picnic. Get togther all the romantic foods - strwaberries, chocolates, bubbly. Get there before her and light everything up with candles. Laying there gazing at the the stars, eating stawberries dipped in bubbly, will be much more romantic than any posh meal or present.

Red roses £6 at Tesco.
If you're flush then why not splash out on a restaurant meal-somewhere you wouldn't ordinarily go that's nice-a lot of really nice places do set menus for Valentines Day so you know what you're in for.
Don't spend more than you can comfortably afford and do/get something that she'll like-even if it's cheap cheap cheap.
Men often forget it's NEVER about the money- it's ALWAYS about the thought and the effort!

Speaking as a woman who is wondering if her boyfriend will buy her anything apart from a card this year (it'll be the first time) , I personally would love nothing more than something that doesn't break the bank. A small gesture... e.g something that is personal to me ... that's taken some time to think of. Buying chocolates are a bit of a no-thought present IMO
So in answer to the question, you don't have to spend a lot as long as you spend it wisely!!!! Good luck!!

You don;t really need to spend anything a card is always a must but as for big gestures sure their nice but not essential think of something romantic and different it will mean a whole lot more moonlit picnic,cook her a meal id love it if my other half would think of something like that good luck and happy valentines xx

That depends on what you can afford. People think there is a set amont for everything but people need to realize that it is important to live within you financial boundaries. So it is really up to and what you think you can afford to spend.

As much as you can afford but not over the top as long as you have something she will be pleased
unless she is looking for an engagement ring

Get her a card at the dollar store. She should be spending money on you. Get with the program!

Buy her something that she will love or make her laugh, it's not about how much you spend, but the fact that you actually bought her something in the first place!!! Make her something, that would be my personal favourite.
