Your experience gift is unlikely to be dated for the
14th February, so you’ll need to think of a fabulously different way to spend the day. Remember; don’t get sucked into the generic “dinner and movie” thing. All the mainstream places will be packed anyway and the two of you will hardly have space to breathe.
Instead of doing what everyone else is doing, make a list of things you have never done or always wanted to do in your local area. Then see how many of these things you can squeeze into one day. You adventure might lead you to taking hilarious pictures in a photo booth, painting plates, playing laser tag, touring a local factory, or going up in that hot-air balloon you never had the courage for.
Stuck for food? Try this: get your entrée, main course, and dessert at three different restaurants!
Alternatively, stay at home. You can spend the day pampering each other (an at-home spa day), baking romantic treats to share, or cooking exotic Valentine-themed meals.
The key to a creative and fun Valentine’s Day is to do something that you have never done before and that no-one else is doing. Don’t get stuck waiting 90 minutes for a table at the most popular restaurant; this will probably stress both of you out and kill the romantic spark of the evening.
Do something exciting, something unique, and something personal to both of you. And most of all, have a wonderful, happy, and loving Valentine’s Day.
