Lovely Loot

Steve and I decided to keep it simple next week for Valentine's day by staying in, putting on a fire, and making a nice dinner. We decided to keep any gifts to a limit of $5 (which can prove difficult, but also really fun! You have to get pretty creative). Below are a few fun and frugal finds that I wouldn't mind receiving ... some of which extend beyond a $5 budget.
