- A few casual dates - $20.00 gift certificate for iTunes
- A few months of dating regularly - $50.00 tickets to a sporting event or concert
- 3-6 months - $100.00 on a gift that is hard to find and tied to his passions
- More than 6 months of dating exclusively – over $100 – go extravagant, but budget based on your gut

Once Valentines season is over, keep romancing your partner with low budget love leaps and relationship milestone gifts. Pick a V-day every month and add spice to your relationship year-round. You dont need a holiday to ignite romance! And what do the guy's tell Liz - bachelor survey says...
