Spa Day

• Pamper your sweetheart with a day at the spa. For less than $200, put together a package that includes a massage, manicure and pedicure. Or, instead, break outside the traditional by arranging a sea salt or hot stone massage. Check if the spa offers a lunch or snacks and, if so, add the treat to the agenda as a bonus.
  
  

Dinner and Carriage Ride

• For the traditional lover, arrange a romantic dinner at a restaurant he's been dying to try out. Reserve your table in advance and choose a quiet location where you can stare longingly into one another's eyes. In larger cities, end the evening huddled together in a carriage ride around your downtown and take in the sights together.
  
  

New Bedding

• We don't always think about spending money on extras for ourselves, like a crisp new set of sheets. Look for sales and purchase sheets of the highest thread count you can afford for under $200. Making the bed is easier for two people, so it gives you a great excuse to get cozy together.
  
  

Night Away

• Most people are stressed out nowadays and need to get out of town for a break. Rekindle your romance by arranging a night away from home in a hotel. If you find a bargain on room rates, you can even spring for the whole weekend. Focus on something you know is important to your lover, such as a wine tour or art museum. Acknowledging that you notice her interests goes a long way in scoring points and showing you care.
  
  

Tickets

• For the lover who has a taste for music, get him tickets to see his favorite band in concert. Plays or musicals may be your love's flavor instead. Research scalped tickets to see if you can afford better seats than what is readily available. Treat him to dessert after so you can recap the show and he can tell you everything he loved about the performance -- and you.
