How To Be Romantic And Original On Valentine's Day
How To Be Romantic And Original On Valentine's Day: You can never be too romantic on Valentine's Day, but here are some tips on how to give your partner a special treat this year, with these original and romantic ideas.

Step 1:
-
Cheap and cheerful
-
Once you have a date for Valentine's Day, that's half the struggle over. To make it special, plan something that's a little bit leftfield. This doesn't have to be expensive. Instead of forking out for a meal at a restaurant, pack a picnic and head down to a romantic spot, like a park or even your own garden, for an intimate dinner for two. Be sure to pack a blanket and lots of wine to make the most of your night. Take along a portable radio so that you can indulge in some impromptu dancing if the mood takes you.

Step 2:
-
Extraordinary dates
-
For those for whom money is no object, the perfect Valentine's Day date could be anything from a luxury spa break where you can both be pampered endlessly, to a romantic mini-break abroad to a city such as Venice or Paris.
-
Step 3:
-
Staying in
-
If you would prefer to stay in on Valentine's night, you could spend the evening cooking your favourite meal together and enjoying it by candlelight.
For movie lovers, put together a package with a DVD of your valentine's favourite film (as long as it's one you can bear to watch too), some popcorn, sweets and a bottle of wine and present it to them as a gift. Then settle in for a movie night on the sofa.
You might like to put a different sort of kit together with champagne, candles, bubble bath and massage oils, depending on the kind of evening you are planning.

Step 4:
-
Unusual gifts
-
When it comes to Valentine's gifts, remember that the best gift is not always the most expensive one. Go for the thoughtful option, as simple as a framed photo of the two of you, in favour of an over-priced bottle of perfume.
Flowers are always a winner but do something a bit different by adding the element of surprise. Hide single roses or your partner's favourite flowers in unexpected places around the house for her to discover during the day. Add a little note with each one if you're feeling extra romantic.
Instead of flowers, you could buy your loved one a tree to plant in their garden. It will last much longer and keep growing along with your relationship. -

Happy Valentine's Day!
