No one can deny it- love is indeed in the air now.
Unfortunately, because of several factors, most people tend to just give in to "instant ways" to show how much their other half meant to them. Purchasing mouth-watering chocolates, delicious cakes, fancy gifts, or beautiful flowers are now becoming traditional.
Though giving these "common" gifts are fine, Luisa Tam of South China Morning Post said putting on a little bit of extra effort is still never better.
So for your February 14, consider making your day extra special by putting on a bit of surprise, a splash of uniqueness, and a bit more effort. Doing so, you will surely have the best time of your life with your loved one this Valentines' season.
COOK YOUR LOVED ONE'S FAVORITE MEAL
It may require you to exert a lot of effort to do this, but cooking for your special person this Valentines' day would be something like a cherry on top of a good dessert. You may not be the best chef in town, but your efforts won't surely be in vain.
If you don't have any idea on how to start your masterpiece, you can just search the web for some tips and recipes you can try. Serve your dish in a simple yet very special candlelight dinner with your partner. With a kiss of wine topped with romantic music, your date will surely be one of a kind.
GIVE GIFTS WITH PERSONAL TOUCH
Giving gifts seem like a requirement every Valentines, but if you want to go on extra mile, make sure to add some of your personal touches in it, as reported by Lifestyle.
If you are planning to surprise your loved one with balloons, why not include some little small notes in it, which shows how much you value and treasure your partner? If flowers are your deal, why not include a letter in it where you can say more about your feelings?
Aside from that, you can also give your loved one scrapbook, where you can list all the important things you have done the past days, months or years you were together. You can even treat them on a trip if you like if you want your Valentines to be more adventurous to the both of you.
Whatever you do, there are but two things you have to remember: focus on making your partner happy and make him or her feel appreciated.
Good luck to your surprise. Have a very sweet and happy Valentines' day.
