Valentine’s Day Ideas for Romance

Hugs, kisses, flirting, red roses, coffee, Swiss chocolates, exotic dinner with wine followed by a romantic walk on the beach – what’s your idea of spending a special Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart? Plan this day of love with some classic and some unique romantic ideas.

•  Organize a movie night at home on the couch, cuddling all the while during a romantic movie. Although Valentine’s Day evening will boast of many romantic flicks being aired on TV, it is a great idea to rent or buy a DVD to avoid the commercial breaks on TV.

•  SMS romantic messages to your partner during the day. How about something like “Just finished reading ‘Love Story’, but quite frankly, our love story outdoes any other on earth.”

• Take a walk with your beloved. Plan a beautiful walk in the moonlight, on the beach or through a favorite street of yours. Hold hands and cherish each and every moment.

• Organize an unexpected holiday. Take your partner by surprise and whisk them away to a vacation spot, as simple or as exotic as you can plan. The idea is to get away from everyday life and spend time with each other. Where you go is not of consequence. Booking a hotel in your city is a great way to explore a property in your own city and save on travel expenses.

•  Plan a romantic massage. Either make a reservation at a couples massage spa or plan for one right at your home. You can invite masseurs or give your partner a massage yourself. Candles and aromatic oils will add to the pleasure.

•  Prepare a romantic breakfast in bed with heart-shaped toasts, berries and fruits, messages written with chocolate sauce on pancakes etc. Serve with a love message rolled in between or a card and flowers.

•  Plan an active Valentine’s Day date. Plan a picnic, berry picking, camping or skiing depending upon the weather conditions in your area. Pack a homemade lunch and a bottle of wine or champagne with flutes.

•  Find a hotspot at home to celebrate. What’s your favorite romantic corner of the house? It could be the kitchen, the bedroom, the fireplace, the balcony or even the bathroom. Decorate the space with candles and roses and settle down for a cozy evening together.

•  Plan the day on a theme. You could go French and plan an evening with French wine, cheese and a romantic French movie. Or Italian with pasta or pizza for the meal and an Amaretto coffee.

•   Do you have kids? Get them involved. Make handmade valentines with easily available craft materials, let them decorate with rose petals and hand them over cookies and jello to cut into heart-shaped using biscuit cutters. Kids will also love to color food stuffs pink if you have anything like mashed potatoes on your menu. And don’t forget to get them roses and sweet little love notes too. They love them as much as adults do.

Make your Valentine’s Day special and memorable with these ideas and make sure to let the agenda of the evening be ‘Love’, no matter what the place or theme you choose. Making your partner feel special is the only way to show them how much you love them.
