Every year the vast majority goes through the same routine on Valentines Day. They receive roses and chocolate at work, and then go out to dinner that night. Some lucky ladies receive diamonds. Although these are all nice ways to celebrate, after awhile it becomes repetitious and meaningless. Where is the true romance? Here are some tips to make a romantic Valentines at home.
1. Cook his/her favorite dinner.
I must say that a home cooked meal by candlelight is much more meaningful and romantic than dinner out any day.
2. Write him/her a love letter.
Instead of buying a card, write a letter telling him/her how much they mean to you and how much you love them. They will cherish it forever.
3. Make chocolate covered strawberries.
Buy long stem strawberries and a a few dark chocolate bars. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a bowl, then dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate. Set the strawberries on a plate and put in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate and present it on a nice tray when ready. Mmm.
4. Draw him/her an aromatic bubble bath.
Add scented candles around the tub, sprinkle some rose petals in the water, and pour in her/his favorite bubble bath. You can also turn on a romantic CD to enhance the ambiance.
5. Give him/her a massage.
Buy some scented lotion or oil. Warm it in the microwave for about 15 seconds before putting in on him/her. Give a him/her a back and neck massage. What a way to end the night (or get it started)! If you are not so great with massages, then buy a gift card to a day spa.
