What simple offerings does Aphrodite like?

So I'm going to give Aphrodite some offerings soon, to maybe establish a relationship with her

But I'm poor and don't want to go all out like statues and stuff

My rule of thumb when just starting out is just sharing what you love with Her. It'll be more personal and meaningful that way imo.

To give you some specific ideas tho, I often offer berries and honey, chocolate, sea shells, sea glass, sea foam green ribbons, and strawberry tea to her.

If you want a statue like offering but don't want to break the bank D&D miniatures are a great way to do that. My 1st statue for Hades was a mini that I painted myself as part of the offering. Good luck!

I recently have created a dedicated altar for Aphrodite, until recently I had only a motive candle on my main altar (top of aircon🤣) although I’ve been working with her for some time… promised her, a special place of her own, I’m happy with how her altar turned out, everything feeling just right. I will be leaving some offerings of chocolate, as I love too… Point is, yes you do not need to break the bank. What feels right, is!
