Valentine’s Day and romance: how to impress your partner or aspiring partner
Valentine’s Day is all about romance. It is the most romantic day of the year. Freebies should be completely unnecessary, but let’s face it, they’re a nice touch and often expected. The best gift is the gift of time. Nothing is more romantic than spending time together, alone, without endless distractions. Whether it’s a night alone, a day trip, a weekend getaway, maybe a cruise, or maybe an extended trip, time together is precious. It’s often not practical for Valentine’s Day either, so I suggest you discuss the possibility while enjoying each other’s company. After all, the trip you are planning may not be the trip he or she wants!
I like the multi-gift approach. They don’t have to be expensive, and in fact, some of the most romantic gifts I’ve ever given include a handmade card made from children’s colored construction paper and crayons, and a meal I tried to cook. The food fell through so they brought us pizza and we laughed for hours while in each other’s arms! Flowers and chocolates, perhaps combined, are wonderful. Flowers can be bought cheaply in many places and can be complemented with a nice vase, also cheap, and a card. Or if I’m short on time like I often do, visit a florist or order online. Delivery is excellent, especially when he or she is not expecting it!
Of course, classic Valentine’s lingerie could also be perfect or maybe something a little more exotic. Is there anything you particularly like that you don’t usually have? Use that to get your creative juices flowing and pick out gifts to impress your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day!
