ADVICE FROM A MATCHMAKER: BUDGET PROOF V-DAY

February 7th, 2009 · 28 Comments · The Holidays

It’s a recession people!  Lark spoke with Jasbina Ahluwalia, a Certified Matchmaker who runs personalized matchmaking firm Intersections  Matchmaking, to get some ideas for those on a tight budget.

Her advice is to “focus on personalizing the celebration for her. Instead of going out to dinner, consider making her a candlelight dinner consisting of her favorite foods; or if you have no culinary bent, consider picking up a selection of her favorite foods and having a cozy “picnic” inside.”

Which is a tasty idea and much more intimate than being in a crowded restaurant.

Ahluwalia also advises that “Instead of buying a gift, consider creating a mix of either her favorite music, or music that holds significance for the two of you, or hand-made “personal services certificates” which can be redeemed by her (ie, for a romantic massage to be performed by you, or your performing chores/running errands she dislikes doing herself). Consider bypassing an expensive bouquet of flowers for handfuls of petals strategically sprinkled throughout her place.”

Total worth of goods: $0-$20

Memories: Priceless
