Valentine's day is almost here and you want to do something special. The old flower, card,and candy trick is always appreciated but can get boring because it's always expected. Letting your sweetheart know that you have gone the extra mile to make the day unforgettable can you really easy. Here are some ideas for adding a little extra delight and surprise on this special day.
If you live in a city or town that is surrounded by a major river or lake, a short cruise is sure to make your sweetie beam with joy. These types of cruises often consist of dinner cruises, where you board at sunset and have dinner aboard the boat with a live band playing in the background, or make reservations for a cabin and make this special day into a special weekend.These cruises are available in package deals to fit any type of budget. Check with your local yellow pages or tourism office to see what's is available.
Another idea is to make reservations with a local bed and breakfast. Bed and breakfasts can be a little more private and intimate, and you can get that getting away feel without going far from home. Usually a bread and breakfast will provide suites or single bedrooms for the night and some meals for the customers, but also little extras like mints on the pillows, breakfasts in bed, or candlelight dinner for two upon request. The internet can provide a list as well as customer reviews on bed and breafasts in your area.
Of course, you can make this night special using a little creativity and a some knowledge of what your special someone likes. If she/he likes gourmet food, make reservations at a fancy restaurant and make reuest to meet the chef personally to thank him for a wonderful meal. If not busy, most chefs would be very flattered to meet with you. Ask the chef to give you a tour of the kitchen to meet the other staff, and maybe sample some of the dishes they are preparing. With a little preparation and forethought, he/she will appreciate the lengths you have gone through to make the evening special.
Or, if you know your way around the kitchen yourself, prepare all of her/his favorite dishes and serve them with candlelight and soft music.
Make the evening even more unforgettable by wearing something special just for him/her. This is sure to let your sweetie know that you were thinking of only them on this special day.
Planning a day of beauty or pampering for her/him will also show that you care. Contact a local day spa and make reservations for your loved one to have one or more services on that day. Ask if there are any discounts or package deals you can buy which are tailored just for that holiday. With services ranging from a simple manicure or pedicure to more luxurious pamperings like swiss massages and facials you should be able to provide her/him with a day they would never forget.
