Top 5 Romantic Gifts Under $30

I had to really hunt for these bargain romantic surprises. It’s not easy to find a gift that says I love you this inexpensively but so effectively. Perfect for a special date or anniversary, or even just as a “I saw this and thought of you” everyday treat. These gifts say so much for so little and are must haves for all romantics.

I was so excited to receive and review this particular gift because it just sounded such a wonderful idea - a tiny bottle filled with the heartfelt emotions of a loved one! What a great concept. Each 7 inch glass bottle is filled with red satin rose petals, heart shaped confetti, charms and beads and of course, your very own "message", printed on beautiful handmade "parchment" paper. You can choose to personalize one of the manufacturers suggested verses or send a unique message of your own. The bottle also holds the all important ‘Key to Your Heart’ which is, in this instance, a heart shaped key that doubles as a bottle opener. It really is a beautifully put together and packaged gift that doesn’t disappoint on the romance richter scale.

This wonderful little kit contains everything you need to grow your own 'bean stalk of love' literally. The ‘magic beans’, as the manufacturers insist they are, just need water to start spreading the love. In two week the beans will break the surface and, soon after that, they’ll reveal their message to your loved one.

That’s right! Just when you thought the gifts couldn’t get any wackier then how about this? An ‘I Love You’ themed aromatherapy Bubble Bath complete with two bubble blowing wands for extra bathtime fun! When I finally stopped laughing at the concept, I began to appreciate the simplicity of the product and the quality of the ingredients that makes it up. It’s actually blended from sensual essential oils such as ylang ylang and sweet orange, with none of the usual synthetic chemicals. Because of this, I have to mention that it does need a bit of hand stimulation under the water (no sexual pun intended) to work up the bubbles. If nothing else it will certainly bring a smile to your lovers face! Enjoy!

A great gift for those outdoor evenings when you want a little candlelight to add to the ambience without the need for constant re-lighting. This LED candle was the best I have seen in a long time. It looks and feel just like a real candle and the LED’s flicker so realistically that you’d never know it wasn’t a real flame. Actually, why not combine this with the I Love You Bubble Bath (above) and have a romantic candlelit soak in the tub for two?

This gift also got listed in my hub, ‘5 top Christmas Gifts for Her that Won’t Break the Bank’. The manufacturers state that this unique board game can be “as innocent (almost) or as intimate as you and your partner desire”. You and your other half begin the game by writing down a wish that each would like to fulfilled by or with the other - preferably on the same night. As you make your way around the board, four sets of cards provide cues for gentle touching and seductive questioning. Upon completion of the game, and filled with passion, the winner is granted his or her wish. I’ve ordered mine and I’m very happy that I did!
