It\u2019s not always easy to come up with that perfect idea to make Valentine\u2019s Day special for the one you love, especially if you\u2019ve already come up with some really good ones in years past. But you don\u2019t have to top yourself year after year to make your partner feel the strength of Cupid\u2019s arrow. By simply planning a romantic evening that\u2019s all about the person who completes you, there will be no doubt about the way you love them (whether you count the ways or not). Here are a few ideas to get you on the right track.<\/p>\n
1. In bed. Take a long weekend by opting out of work on Monday this year and laze the day away in the comfort of your love nest. Plan for your partner\u2019s favorite meals (delivered to the boudoir by you), rent a couple of rom-coms, or spend the day gazing into each other\u2019s eyes and remembering why you fell in love in the first place.<\/p>\n
2. On holiday. Nothing will allow you to get away from it all and focus on each other more than a spur-of-the-moment vacay. So pack bags for both of you and be ready to go when your partner gets home from work on Friday. If you\u2019re not too keen to spend half of the weekend on an airplane to an exotic locale, simply drive to the nearest remote wilderness location (ski resort, nearby lake, etc.) and rent a cabin for the weekend. Even a local hotel can provide a change of scenery and a little alone time (spring for the room with the spa tub).<\/p>\n
3. Wine tasting. Instead of doing the restaurant thing (who can get reservations at this late date?!) check out a local tasting room to try some local vintners or get a taste of France. By the time you get home, you\u2019ll both be in the mood for amour. If they won\u2019t be open for Valentine\u2019s Day, go in ahead of time, get some advice from the sommelier, and have a tasting of your own at home.<\/p>\n
4. First date spot. Sometimes the best way to say \u201cI love you\u201d is with a little trip down memory lane. So take your partner to your first date spot (impressive) and order the same meal you had that night (spectacularly impressive).<\/p>\n
5. Dinner and dancing \u2013 at home. Why fight the madding crowd on the most popular date-night of the year? Instead, set up your dining room like the restaurant your partner would love to visit, complete with his\/her fave food choices. Then put on a little soft music and dance the night away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
