With Valentine’s Day approaching next week, no doubt there are couples around the world frantically trying to plan how to make it a special occasion, struggling to secure a restaurant booking, or finding out the hard way that most delivery slots for bunches of red roses have already been secured.
Don’t fear, however, because help is at hand. We put together this useful guide for how you can make Valentine’s Day an extra special occasion this year, even if you forget to book the restaurant and buy your partner the wrong variety of flowers!
Cook Yourself
We must stress that, if you don’t have a great deal of experience when it comes to cooking, then you might want to steer well clear of this idea. Pulling the old trick of ordering in from the Chinese takeaway and pretending you cooked it yourself isn’t going to work, either, so don’t even consider it.
However, if you do fancy yourself as a bit of a Gordon Ramsay, then there’s nothing to stop you cooking a romantic meal for you and your loved one. Make sure you make it a surprise, though, and keep up the pretense that you actually are going out to a top restaurant. Just ensure the food lives up to the inevitable expectations.
Hold a Fireworks Display
There is something about fireworks, which gives them a special feeling associated with romance, and you should definitely consider them for your Valentine’s Day ‘repertoire.’
Even if you put together a simple display, the thought and effort that you have put into it will no doubt win over your partner whether you have been together for years or Valentine’s Day represents your first date.
Remember to keep it simple; you don’t need to go looking to spell out ‘I Love You’ with catherine wheels or other types of firework!
Leave Your Comfort Zone
If you are looking for something really different and a little ‘left-field,’ there are a number of options you can consider for Valentine’s Day. How about enrolling yourself and your partner into a one-off dancing class? If you like it and have more fun than you expected, you could even have found yourselves a new hobby!
This and similar ideas are best for couples who want to avoid the ‘tried and tested’ things like heading to the cinema or a restaurant, although you need to be prepared to put your self-awareness to one side for the evening!
