22 Gifts That Say "I Love You Baby" Without Breaking The Bank

6. A handmade knit scarf, hat, or socks
If you don’t know how to knit, you can learn to make a basic scarf. Even if it’s not perfect, he’ll appreciate the time you took to make it for him.

7. A sexy photo of yourself in lingerie
This one speaks for itself.

8. A drawing or painting
You don’t have to be the most talented artist to draw or paint him a picture – it could be of the two of you, or his favorite celebrity, animal, or car. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

9. A home-cooked meal
Prepare his favorite foods and desserts. You could do this as a picnic at the park or the beach, or just at home. 

10. A treasure map or scavenger hunt

Any of these gift ideas could be presented as a scavenger hunt or with a treasure map to make it more fun.

11. Handmade jewelry
If he’s the jewelry-wearing type, make him some simple jewelry, like a bracelet or necklace.

12. A naughty video
We’ll leave the details to your imagination.

13. His favorite sweets
Bake (or buy) his favorite sweets – pastries, cookies, candy – and put them in a huge jar with a bow.

14. Books and magazines
If he’s a bookworm, you can scour thrift stores or garage sales for books and magazines he’d enjoy. Your money will go a long way.      Continue to page 2

15. A poem or bedtime story, written and read by you
A poem can be hand-written on decorative paper and framed. The bedtime story could be a story of the two of you – maybe how you first met – and bound into a “book”. Tuck him in bed and read it to him.

16. A dance
Choreographed and costumed, please!

17. A same-day vacation
Pick a location within a two hour drive of your home. Leave early, spend the day, have lunch, sightsee, and return home that evening. And if you have a few dollars, stay overnight at a bed and breakfast. They typically are inexpensive and can be very romantic.

18. A song
Write and sing (or play) a song for him, if you’re musically inclined.

19. An outdoor excursion
Preferably one that’s clothing optional. Heck, you could do this in a tent in your backyard.

20. Underwear
The only thing men like to get as much as women do is underwear that you'll tell him he looks sexy in. Ask him to model it for you and that's two gifts in one.

21. A bath with you
A romantic bath together, with bubbles, candles, wine, and the like.

22. You
For men of all shapes, sizes and races: You = naked over candlelight!
