Fun, Impressive and Out-of-the-box Valentine's Day Ideas

Valentine's Day should be celebrated everyday, don't you think? The idea of so much love being stuffed into 24 hours is quite ridiculous. But then again, we're all looking for a significant moment to rekindle withered love, strengthen bonds, or rediscover each other. There's so much that can be done, but how to go about it is the tricky question.

Come on, Take a Day Off!

This year Valentine's Day finds us sulking at the fact that it falls on a weekday - disappointing, I know. But you can change all that, and miss work. It's just one day, I'm sure you can manage to pull it off. Have your partner miss work as well and plan a whole day of things to do, couple style. Here's a list of possible things you can do - pick and choose, or mix and match - the choice is yours.

Throw a pre-Valentine's Day party on the 13th, and bring in the 14th with love drunk couples like yourself.
Plan a day at the spa (make an early booking for two), followed by lunch at a favorite bistro.
Decorate your home with Valentine's Day-esque decorations, and stay in all day watching old movies, exchanging gifts, and then ordering for takeout for dinner (for homey couples).
Drive down one night before Valentine's Day to a nearby bed and breakfast, and enjoy each other's company a little far off from home.
Go out for a movie during the day, stuff your faces with decadent junk food for lunch, and attend a Valentine's Day party in the evening.

Don't freak out if you've never put together an ensemble of food that is different from the everyday. This would be a good time to cook something for the one adore, leaving them speechless (in a good way!). Look at these dishes for inspiration, or ideas. You'll find groups of three dishes, adding up to a salad/appetizer, dinner, and dessert special.

Barbecue Specials / Romantic Picnics

Nothing beats a barbecue. Food is just so much more appealing and mouth-watering when it's been seared to perfection. Plan an outdoor barbecue in a place that you love, be it at the beach or even if it's just in your own backyard or patio. Couple it with chilled beer / wine, soothing music, and a laid back day of just whiling away the hours with leisure. Remember to keep your meat and other eats marinating a night prior to V day, so that your foods are flavorful and succulent. Picnics aren't done as often as they should be, so get out there and suck in that fresh air with a lavish spread of fine food and drinks. Choose a quiet hill-top, a sandy beach, a riverside, or even the park as your Valentine Day picnic spot.
