Why spend real cash when you can spoil your boo with your level-three meal plan?

On a day of love and lust, it’s hard to find things to buy for that special person in your life without breaking the bank. However, if you have a meal plan, there are ways to score points without spending any real money.

From heart-shaped chocolate to oddly heavy glass bowls and glass hearts filled with flowers, the markets located at the four commons on campus have everything you need to knock the socks off that special someone.

Hershey’s Kisses

What’s more romantic than chocolate? Answer: Hershey’s Kisses wrapped in heart-covered foil.

With the stereotypical red, purple, and pink Hershey’s Kisses, the bag comes with individually wrapped chocolates that read different love messages to warm the hearts of whoever you choose to give them to. The commons also has larger Hershey’s Kisses, although not Valentine’s Day-themed, that can really show that special someone how much you like them.

Glass Jars Filled With Flowers

Sure your partner might like flowers, but flowers often die within a few weeks. What better way to show your love than with flowers perfectly preserved in a heart-shaped glass mold? If a heart is sending too strong of a signal, the commons also have circular-shaped glass molds with blue and red roses encased inside.

Heart-Shaped Chocolate Boxes

Following the same theme of chocolate and romance, the heart-shaped chocolate boxes are a perfect gift or just a nice piece to keep in your apartment/dorm. With three different kinds of chocolate, the assortment stands out among the other gifts as the most romantic gesture.

Sour Patch Kid Mini’s

First, they’re sour, then they’re sweet.

Sour Patch Kids might not be the first thing you think of as a romantic candy, but if you want to create a spark, these sour-then-sweet candies are sure to leave a lasting impression. Since the box comes with 20 individual candy bags, there’s more to share with friends or to woo multiple parties… Who are we to judge?

Kit Kat Bears

One of the cutest and least expensive options is the Kit Kat Bears. Unlike the typical wafer candies, the bear designs feature a bear holding a heart, perfect to show your love and care.

Snickers Mix Heart Box

Why choose between one candy when you can have three? While the other candies may be sentimental, a heart-shaped candy box with three different chocolates is the ultimate way to lock down a relationship during these cold nights.
