Jennifer Lopez famously proclaimed that “Love Does Not Cost a Thing.” While you certainly can not put a dollar sign on affection, a thoughtful token on Valentine’s Day will never go amiss. That being said, Valentine’s Day can pose a real challenge to anyone on a budget.

So skip the obvious and opt for these budget-friendly yet unique under- $ 50 Valentine’s Day gifts instead.
