The Savvy Gifter – Make Him Happy Without Breaking the Bank

Men are often thrilled with the gifts their wives or girlfriends give them. Savvy women gifters do much more than hit the nail on the head with their choice of the perfect romantic present. They most often find the most perfect price that won’t break the bank! Their economical way of thinking keeps both the price tag and the valuable time they spend shopping for that optimal gift at a minimum.

The Savvy Gifter’s Romantic Gift for a Foodie

A savvy gifter can really please a foodie hubby with some delectable dishes that will win his heart and save money. One fabulous suggestion is to serve him breakfast in bed. You can whip up tasty lovey-dovey dishes in just 15-20 minutes that will cost you less than $10. You can prepare the famous “egg in a heart” or chocolate liqueur truffles. To put it in a nutshell, all you need is just chocolate, bacon, fruit, whipped cream and a whole lot of love to create beautiful and scrumptious romantic meals.

Shopping for these ingredients will be much less costly compared with the price you’d pay in a restaurant for the menu appealing to romantic couples. Another option might be the awe-inspiring scenic view at Marina Barrage. Here, you can fly kites and enjoy an intimate time together while having a picnic featuring lots of mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres. Once again, purchasing the ingredients for such appetisers will cost far less than dining out at an atmospheric French restaurant. Similarly, think of checking out the Southern Islands of St John’s Island, Kusu Island and Lazarus Island. These islands offer a seaside experience perfect for couples wanting to spend some intimate time loafing and enjoying a picnic.

 

The Savvy Gifter’s Romantic Gift for an Adventurer

As a savvy gifter, you might think it’s almost impossible to satisfy your adventurous spouse without overspending. Think again! There’s a wide array of options for you. If your spouse is adventurous and happens to love seafood, prawn fishing would be a perfect gift for him. Singaporeans love prawning since it only costs about $12-$18 per hour. You can save a lot of money with this activity gift because the equipment is included as part of the hourly rate. Alternatively, you and your spouse can go bicycling at Pulau Ubin. You can travel by ferry to this smallish remote island from Changi Point for just $5 per return ticket. Not only will you be able to spend an intimate time away from bustling city life, you’ll also be able to view some fascinating wildlife there.
