Tips 2 |
Put
together a scrapbook filled with mementoes of your time together.
Items can include photographs, ticket stubs from movies and concerts,
as well as keepsakes from places you have visited. With each item
a short paragraph explaining why that particular moment is so
special. |

If
you can swing it - try a surprise lunch date! This can be hit
or miss, but if you pull it off you will get extra points for
being spontaneous! |

Tips 4 |
There
is no need to go out to eat when a home cooked meal can be just
as romantic. Prepare your significant others favorite meal, choose
a perfect wine, light some candles, place a vase of fresh flowers,
and turn on some romantic music. It's the perfect way to have
a romantic private meal for two without having to go out. |

Tips 5 |
Plan
some time together. You can book a getaway for the two of you,
or you can keep it closer to home. You can both sign up for a
class that teaches something you are both interested in, such
as cooking, or dancing. |

Tips 6 |
Breakfast
in bed is a great way to start the day on Valentines Day. Getup
early and take the time to make it extra special with heart shaped
pancakes, or toast. Don't forget the love note and single rose
to go along with the meal. |

Tips 7 |
Instead
of buying something for your Valentine, take the extra time to
put together a homemade gift. You can make a candy jar filled
with chocolate kisses, or personalized M&M's. You could also
make a pretty planter and put plants in it. The possibilities
are endless - and your loved one will appreciate the thought,
creativity and energy that was put into it. |

Tips 8 |
If
you know that you want to do something big and extravagant for
your Valentine, take the time to really plan ahead. Make sure
that you have the money to do it, if it involves going out, make
sure to have the reservations booked a long time in advance. If
it involves tickets, make sure that you have gotten them. |

Tips 9 |
Thinking
of buying your Valentine flowers this year? If you want to save
some money, order well in advance, or perhaps think outside the
traditional red roses. Knowing what your Valentines favorite flower
is might save you some money. For example if your Valentines favorite
flower is a Daisy, why buy red roses…get the Daisy's! You
can also purchase a live plant that will live for many years (provided
its cared for) instead of just a few days. |

Tips 10 |
Surprise
your special someone with a small trip somewhere. It doesn't have
to be something on a grand scale but can be something local and
inexpensive. Try looking at interesting areas and attractions
in your area such as a trip to a winery, a picnic in a nice park,
an evening boat ride if you are near water, a night in a mountain
cottage, etc. It shows that you are thoughtful for planning the
little excursion that goes outside of your normal routine. |
