I'm feeling the squeeze this Valentine's Day, but it doesn't have to be one of the most expensive holidays of the year. You can show your loved one that you care with a meaningful gift, and I've found a bunch of options that come in under $10.

For starters, I'd grab these fuzzy No Boundaries Platform Slippers for $7 at Walmart. They're soft, comfortable and the color screams Valentine's Day — what more could you ask for? It's a nice reminder for your Valentine to take some time to relax, too.
