Valentine’s Day itself is pretty cliché, champagne and strawberries, roses and lingerie, sweet nothings and big romantic gestures. Show your sweetheart that you can’t live without her, and let your significant other know just how significant he is. After all, regardless of the reason, you’ll never be sorry you expressed love to a loved one. Here are some traditional ideas to get you started.
- Roses. Nothing is more traditional than flowers on Valentine’s Day. There’s a reason for that, they really are the perfect way to express your love for your Valentine. You can order flower delivery online, or over the phone. Bright Gerbera Daisies can brighten up a day at the office, and an arrangement of rich-coloured roses adds to a luxurious mood once you’re both home for the evening. Or you can pick up your sweetheart’s favourite flowers at a local florist and deliver them yourself.
- Chocolates. If you’re going to surrender to the typical trappings of the day, you might as well surrender with the best. Don’t forget the heart-shaped box of chocolates.
- Mood music. The right music can really set the mood for a romantic Valentine’s Day. The first step is to create a playlist perfectly suited to you and your partner, whether you both enjoy the smooth, mellow sound of artists like Michael Bublé or you prefer something with a little more rock in it. The second step is to let that playlist create the ambiance for your evening.
- Do-it-yourself (DIY) massage. There’s nothing like nice massage to release the tensions of the day and induce total relaxation. While a professional massage is nice, the DIY variety is a perfect Valentine’s Day activity. By spending just a little time online, you can learn the basics of giving a good massage and even some advanced techniques. Add some candles and scented oils and you’re ready for a relaxing and intimate Valentine’s Day celebration for two.
- Jewellery. Jewellery is the quintessential Valentine’s Day gift. A heart-shaped pendant, a ruby ring, diamond earrings, stylish cufflinks, a high-end wristwatch; the possibilities are endless.
