The effort of love holds more worth than a diamond ring. Ask someone who has it all but love!

When you are planning your anniversary for a loved one, and you are under a tight budget, there is always this doleful thought that you are not doing enough. Yes, your partner always deserves the best, but he/she also deserves your undivided attention and a day just for them.

There is no other gift that could make them happier than making this day special. Planning an excellent anniversary within a budget is easier than you think, and in this excerpt below, we will describe all the romantic gestures which can make your partner swoon all over again.

A Perfect Anniversary Within Budget!

Planning the perfect anniversary within budget will just require one phone call to work, applying for a leave, and your total undivided attention.

1. Make An Effort

Even if it is gifting your wife a diamond ring, anything half-hearted will not feel special. Without love, even the diamond is a rock, a very expensive one but still a rock.

So, from the very first hour of the day, try to make an effort. A wish at midnight, a morning kiss, and breakfast in bed form the romantic trinity of the perfect anniversary beginning.

There is something special about you pampering your partner all day long. With that amount of effort to make them feel special, they wouldn’t even demand a gift; they probably have it. 

2. A Cake Goes A Long Way

There is no special occasion that is complete without a cake. Cutting a cake together everywhere symbolizes how far it has come. Plus, the icing on the cake (no pun intended!) if you get your partner’s favorite flavor.

Explore outside chocolate and vanilla, and surprise them with a delicious cake. If you are finding restricting options in your local bakery, why not buy them online cake shops. You can even get same-day delivery, in case you forgot!

3. Write Them A Letter

There is nothing more romantic than how they did it in the old days. The thought of reading words coming straight from the heart gives people butterflies. If you do not have much to say, just jot down what you feel about that.

Wrap the letter in some candies and give them first thing in the morning. The smile you will receive from your partner is worth not having all the expensive dine-ins and glitter champaigns.

4. A Day Just For Their Amusement

Call in sick at work, and give your undivided attention for a whole 24 hours to your partners.

Is it professionally ethical?

No!

But is it romantic?

Yes!

You can go out for a long drive and visit all your favorite spots around the city. Take a picnic to a remote location, and talk. When was the last time you two did that?

5. Home Movie

Suppose it is an evening surprise, rather than taking them for movies among strangers where you can’t even pause. Why not set up a home theater? It sounds like a big deal, but it is not. All you will need are the following:

- A company is sitting near the screen of choice.

- Pillows for extra comfort.

- Quilt to cuddle when it is cold.

- Wine or drink of choice.

- Popcorn.

- A string of fairy lights.

You have the perfect romantic movie setting.

6. Wine & Bonfire

If watching movies is not your thing, and your partner gets sleepy throughout, then set up a bonfire outside. 

The colder months are perfect for enjoying some snacks and drinks and being wrapped with your partner in the same blanket. Even if your partner is the least romantic person, this setting will bring out the ‘Rayn Gosling of Notebook’ in them.

It Is Really The Thought That Counts!

There is no better present than being in the present and enjoying their company.

Sometimes all our partner needs is for us to look at them and appreciate the love. Actively thinking about the relationship and being grateful. Plus, to pay homage to all those feelings, planning a romantic 24 hours.

So, next time you do not have the budget for jewelry, stick to basic- flowers & chocolates. Then plan the day with the pointers given above.
