Yes, Valentine’s Day is next Saturday and you most likely have not gotten anything for your special someone (or someones -- I don’t judge).  The next few days before this Hallmark holiday, i’ll be posting gift idea suggestions -- so stay tuned! Here is one of my favorite gift ideas -- and its super cheap:

Make a Mix Tape!

Cost: Blank CD & Cost of MP3s

Who doesn’t love a mix tape? Find your favorite songs. Burn them to CD. Decorate a cover. Wah-lah!  BTW -- If you are needing to buy MP3s -- make sure to shop Amazon -- great prices and DRM-FREE!  Mix the music up with sound clips! Throw in soundbites from your favorites movie or tv shows.

There are tons of these flying around the internet
MovieSoundClips.net
Movie Wavs
(please note: you will need to convert wav files to mp3 before you burn)

Want to get super creative? Here are directions on how to take a cassette tape and a USB flash drive and make a new age mix tape! Here is what is my mix tape list i’m giving my boo. What are your favorite mix tape songs?
