Want to do something other than the usual humdrum dinner and a movie or roses and chocolate this Valentine’s Day? Here are some tips on how to show that special someone in your love some love:
For Him
• Signature scent. Spend an afternoon smelling some come-hither colognes; pick a special fragrance for him and let him know how much you love it.
• Mood music. Does he have his go-to artists but never spends money on himself? Pick up a few cds he can pop in his car stereo. It’s sure to put him in a good mood – and to make him think of you each time he tunes in.
• Whip it up. His favorite meal, that is. Spend some time in the kitchen cooking up a dish sure to please his palate. Trick him and tell him to pick you up for an evening out and then unveil your surprise!
For Her
• Pamper package. Pull together her favorite little luxuries – bubble bath, lotions and the like, and present her with a gift she can enjoy even beyond Valentine’s Day.
• Picture it. Frame a photo of the two of you that has special meaning for you both. Or maybe a memento from a special moment you shared together, like a ticket to a baseball game or a program from a Broadway show. She’ll love the gift and that you held on to the keepsake.
• Get away. Plan a trip to visit a new locale. You’ll both enjoy new sights and sounds, and will make new memories together you can treasure for years to come.
