Valentine's Day: Few Suggestions

Today's 14th February, Valentine's Day i.e. a day for love and celebrations. How this day started could be another topic to discuss or write about. Today is the day for followers of cupid. You are not being able to express your love? Do it today.

But today weather is causing problem for many lovers. Kathmandu is seeing rainfall since last night and still going very hard. So many couples are may be not being able to meet or stay together and roam the city.

On the other hand this chilling temperature may also being fruitful for some lovers who wishes to remain in closet having fun together (Not that what you might be thinking reading this line).

And planning to give some gifts to your loved ones? We suggest you to keep in mind following things before you decide and buy something.

·         Create your own Valentine's Day card.  Compose a poem or an expression of love that expresses your personality.

·         Create a " recollection collection" scrapbook filled with favorite photographs, love letters, keepsakes from special occasions, and cherished mementos.

·         Make a CD of your favorite songs as a couple including love songs that you both enjoy listening to. Buy some romantic CDs, classic videos or DVDs and wrap them all together with red ribbon.

·         Jewellery is always a favorite. For the woman in your life, buy a heart-shaped locket and put a picture of yourself in it. Personalize the locket with your loved one's initials so she'll have something to wear that's hers alone. Package it in a heart-shaped box or tied to fresh flowers. For your man, a good choice is the classic sterling silver ID bracelet or cuff links with his name or initials custom-engraved.

·         Give silk or glass flowers, which will last forever. If your beloved has a green thumb, give a flowering plant to put in the garden to enjoy year after year.

·         Prepare your loved one's favorite dinner and serve it on a romantically set table and dine by candlelight on Valentine's Day. For the sweetheart with a sweet tooth, make a decadent dessert such as a chocolate fondue with melted chocolate mixed with a touch of heavy cream, and serve it with fruit or cookies.

·         Give the man in your life a personalized gift for his favorite hobby such as personalized golf or tennis balls that say, "I love you," "You're a hit!" or "Be mine," or a monogrammed humidor for cigars.

·         The gift of togetherness is precious, given today's busy lifestyles. Plan a romantic, surprise travel getaway. Take lessons together to share in each other's interests like dancing, cooking or sailing. Hire a personal trainer to inspire you to exercise together, or visit a spa together. Spend a night out at the theater and have dinner at a quiet and romantic candlelit restaurant.

 

And if you are planning to propose, these could be good ideas.

1.      Prepare ahead of time and make sure your intended will be available for your surprise.

2.      Use the media... Your local radio, TV or newspaper may be looking for a romantic proposal idea to feature for Valentine's Day.

3.      There may be millions of couples getting engaged on Valentine's Day, but you are special and when you propose, it should be a reflection of who you are as a couple.

4.      Fortune cookies have come to be a popular place to hide a surprise ring. Steaming them open lets you put the ring inside with a piece of paper that says, "Will you be my valentine?"

5.      If you are a couple who likes simple things - keep your proposal simple. A quiet get away, snuggling in front of a warm fire... You on one knee telling her how much she means to you and that you want her to be in your life forever... now, that's romantic!

6.      The bottom line is that proposing doesn't have to be elaborate to be romantic. As long as you find a way to tell her what she means to you and that you love her enough to ask her to be yours

 

Above all, we Younnovaters would like to wish you all Happy Valentine's Day.
