Top Valentines Day Ideas

Valentine's day is well placed in the calendar, it comes just 6/7 weeks after Christmas. By that time you'll need picking up from the New Year blues, it's still cold but at least you would have been paid. Even though you'll still possibly be paying off Christmas, you should have a couple of quid to make Valentine's Day a special event.

So here are some ideas:

Escape on a Romantic Getaway
The most popular destination is Paris, but you could think of other places like Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, Rome, Nice, Amsterdam, Dublin or if you're feeling flush you could try New York. But it's not neccarily where you go to, it's how you are. Think of the little things, plan out what you're going to do, but don't try and fit in too much. It's supposed to be a lazy couple of days, so think, nice meal, a bit of shopping and lye-ins. So check what time you have to leave the room when you check-out.


Think Local
There's loads of Country houses or castles you can stay at in this country. Not all are hideously expensive. The best advice is to shop around and start early. If you're on a tight budget try and find somewhere where you don't have to pay until you've had your time away.


If You Want you Stay Closer To Home
You may want to make a special night of it, hire a limo, get some champagne and find a nice restaurant. Don't book anything like a curry or Chinese as these can leave you bloated and unsuitable for an amorous evening. Find somewhere like a French or Italian restaurant, but be careful of the garlic.

If You're In A Pampering Mood
How about you indulge each other in a special spa weekend? This will help you feel relaxed and comfortable. You'll enjoy jacussi's together and get steamy in a sauna - pure bliss.

Try Something Different
If you don't go to the cinema or the theatre, try doing that for a change - but always build in a romantic twist.
